discuss If You Had $10... What You Register?

[CJ6]

If you had $10 USD to spend, what would you register? .com, .biz, .org, .net, .co, .info, other?
Why?

Remember, you can register more than 1 if you can afford it.

Definitely a .com
I would invest some hours among dropped lists and I'd find something I could flip quickly for a profit; even a small one.

.Club, .Work

I'd find .Club on sale for $1.50... buy 3.. and then buy a few quality .Work names.

llll biz...

sell in a few weeks....

 

[Nsmith91]

Good question. A few months ago I would have said a gtld, but after reading and watching the "pros" I'd definitely look for a cheap .com to flip first.
Short and brandable .com names seem to be the surest bet.

I spend almost every $10 on .com. So nothing will change. 98% of my portfolio is .com

2 LLLL.biz and pocket $2.

The buyout is occurring on the same fashion as .org, and we all see how much those are worth less than a week after only Chips sold.

 

[Andy Dexter]

I would register one .biz and the rest buy two .top.

 

[S-B]

2 macchiatos made with whole milk.

I would register a two word .com that makes sense and has at least three end users and try to sell it for a few hundred.

$10 isn't enough to risk on investments such as "chips."

Say that to the folks who purchased net and org LLLL chips.

 

[domvault]

I would have gone for a .com .
It's the safest bet among all.
There are 122 million .com registrations. There must be some reason behind it.

Whatever is trending...... i got in pretty late, so i kinda treat domains like I do penny stocks. You have to figure out your entry/exit points. Have a strategy. Don't be greedy, but don't leave too much on the table either. You have to figure out your own personal comfort zones/thresholds.

 

[vickyhunter]

Definitely, a Chinese Premium LLLLL .com !

1 biz 1 info

There are newbies that read this forum daily for advice and direction. Some who have only $10 to invest.

Is this the message we want to send to them? Register a .biz and .info, really?

We know you guys most likely hold strong positions in those spaces but let's not force a "buyout," let it happen naturally.

Some own 1000+ chips, when the buyout happens, they will make a fortune. What does the newbie make? $20 or so. When they can buy a solid name and possibly make hundreds or thousands, even a name with dev potential.

A chip limits you, no dev potential and it has 0 chance of selling to an end user.

Yes, especially if all they have is 10. A newbie is bound to make mistakes and register crappy domains; check the appraisal section. That's basically a newbie throwing away 10, when they can double down, earn $20 and follow this advice on 2 names at a later time when they obtain the proper knowledge to register something half decent.

0 end user potential, risky, but very high reward investment potential

I like your view on this. However, you have to decide if you are gonna be a volume or a gross person. Either strategy is fine. I don't see a reason to knock anyone for making 2-3x or more on their money. Volume is more tedious, but in any industry, it works.

 

[nicedomains]

I was thinking along the same lines as vickyhunter and would definitely only register a .com if I had to make a $10 investment grow.

Interesting to see so many opinions on biz, top, club, info ...certainly interesting domaining times!

 

[J9]

The OP is asking what we will register if we had $10 to invest, he is not asking advice what he should register. Correct me if I am wrong.

I will definitely buy a .com!

Reason: Because it needs no proof why it's best.
