Importance of new TLD .gdn?

[Igor Mironyuk]

Hey guys.

Now when many new TLDs appears, one of them is .gdn
In Dynadot registrar this is cost just one dollar. But whats importance and popularity of this TLD between others?

I think you missed what I meant in my original post .. people don't really need to know what IO stands for .. it's memorable .. usually visitors add the .io verbally in their head when they read it .. as such it becomes easier to remember. Same goes for most repurposed TLD's like .co and .tv as they are far more memorable .. .cc isn't really the same as those .. but being a double repeating it's super easy to remember. .GDN really isn't memorable in any way I'm sorry to say!

beyond the shadow of a doubt, .co is the best of those.

if it was price of .com it would be even better than best.

.io is brandable (rememberable), because it sounds (thanks to vowels)... for example, say: oliv.io
.gdn brandability is ~0.00

If I told someone to go to name.io, or name.gdn they will do it. Some crazy stuff coming from these replies..

I don't open even .site URLs... because I don't expect to see any serious project there...

Who cares? Stay on topic if you can..

My behaviour is typical...
If TLD has no trust (in case of .gdn - it is also unclear) - then people don't click/visit it...

Look many people don't understand new extensions, I get that but it's not a trust thing but rather a learning curve. Your statement saying .io is, I guess more trusted than .gdn is dumbfounded and shows no merit.

Lots of options now, many cctlds, legacy ones and new g's. it is what it is...

The question is why would someone want to brand their business on a TLD that is not relevant and meaningful.
Imagine you have a business, you print out some business cards to hand out to your contacts, and people keep asking what the gdn at the end means ?
Possible answers:

• "it was $1 only" (we are cheap)
• "I don't know" (you don't know but you put your online business on something you don't understand, interesting)
• "other extensions were taken" (we are not very creative)
• "because it was available" (but we are clueless)
• ...

Yes, .io has high trust in IT/Tech-sphere... and it is primarily used for IT/Tech related projects...

The same reason you offer multiple cctlds for sale I guess.

Really what's the difference on a business card? I have no problem in a friendly debate but everyone so far is just brand and portfolio protection kind of replies...

I can provide examples but don't want to go there unless you'd like..

.com first cctld second and then i think about a gtld but there sreny about 30 or 40 above gdn

the value in gdn is N.gdn or L.gdn i suppose

• "I don't know" (you don't know but you ...

"I don't know" ??? Wouldn't that be what the .IDK TLD is used for? (Is there an .IDK TLD ???) lol

I own ZERO .io domains...
I just think like enduser... and it helps me to sell my domains...

 

[mpls]

After .whoiswho and .kiwi is the most crappy extension I've ever seen.
Serious business and serious domainers don't spend a penny on this shit.

Maybe another thread but would love to hear how you can get in to the head of an end user. LOL

Well that's staying on topic..

To get into enduser-head you need: knowledge, experience and analytics... and normal IQ-level.

New gtld's are risky, don't take risks mate.. I bought several 6N and 7N .info domains and also many ngtld's just because they were $1 each. They are expiring now.. I still own many ngtld's but they are good one's.. they make sense and I am 100% sure I can sell them to end-users easily.. buy domains you are 100% sure you will be able to sell for profit.

True.
Before be a (successful) domainer you've to be an end user.
How to be an end user? Work for years with IT companies, know what they need and know how they work.

You can't get in to the head of anyone, sorry.

Nor can I..

This extension is crap. Hype all you want.
New people dont waste your time with this crap extension

It's only important to those that bought into it

Xyz is way better investment than gdn
Global is better than gdn

[Jurgen Wolf]

Anyone is not needed at all...
Just try to understand the behaviour and requirements of those endusers which can spend at least high $xxx per domain...

I would wait until the big drop comes in this extension before investing.

Good chance you will get some LLL for cheap
