.IM Discussion

[gilescoley]

I have seen quite a few registered lately, has anyone got any comments on these names. What if there was a good keyword name, is it worth grabbing.


I believe its the Isle Of Man, but are people possibly going to use the "Instant Messaging" acronym for these domains??


Thanks for any advice??

I guess now you came to a point where a person makes personal choices so let it be there then.
i don't know what Isle of man is until i read about it on Name.com i do not care how bad the extention goes or is used until i can afford i will renew mine

hopefully when people of isle of man see that the words they would like to use in their Daily life business are gone they would want to register similar or make any amount of offer on yours.

Sales of .im have not been all that but if you look at it as a ROI

40+ domains are bought for 5 US$

even if it sells for 30-50 what's bad ? , but what ever you said might be right for people who are new to domains its very good to study the over all market before investing even a $

2 rules of domaining

1) Look at market and study it but Listen to your heart
2) Follow Rule 1

You speculate, I invest :tu:

 

[Shahid7]

Sounds like a plan

Speculation and investment are one and the same.

The only difference is the perceived risk element.

Today I registered Webhosting.im and I would like to know the views from you guys about this domain

 

[Jaco]

not really just speculating

That the population will triple in 5 years?
That isn't "speculating". It's "stupid".

 

[Shahid7]

not sure why you would call it stupid, unless your not aware of how population increases everyday, but more over its not just about population but the ROI on .im

 

[nikcec]

whats your opinion?

I regged
pokerclub.im
razz.im

I have just registered Japan.im

What are your thoughts about this domain?

That the population will triple in 5 years?
That isn't "speculating". It's "stupid".

It went up 1700 in the last 5 years....so who knows...

I would bet that people in IM use co.uk. If .im was going to make it...why target "instant messaging"? that's dumber than mobi.

 

[exsedo]

The island isn't big enough to hold that many people, but who knows they might get some national pride and start using their own extension. I think you may be right about them using .co.uk

Anyone know what hotel .im sold for at Sedo ? The last I saw was £960 and I missed the end of the auction.

 

[Kate]

Indeed .co.uk is also used on the IOM... possibly more than .im/.co.im

Recent private sale reported on dnjournal int.im = $1000

PM me if interested

 

[Craine]

I was the seller of hotel.im, considering selling my stock of .im domains which I was planning to develop myself (Isle of Man resident, have little time on my hands these days):

car.im
job.im
motors.im
maps.im
forums.im
art.im
antiques.im
green.im
info.im
guide.im

all should be at Sedo, will take fair offers on each.

Have a few more but planning on keeping them for now, as they're already developed.
