[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?

Experience and knowledge.[/QUOT

So based on your personal knowledge and experience, not any figure or facts if i understood correct.

Unfortunately US-based Chinese are not much in domain business if you want to get an idea about US domainer's better to give a visit in next namecon

This is exactly I'm talking about... one-time sponsors or newbies...

But some episodical sales may happen in any TLD...
It is not a benchmark for aftermarket overall.

Facts???
I saw hundreds of thousands of CHIPs in droplists...
And the same will be with .gdn, plus minus...

1- Let's wait and watch, GDN already done 1 year and till now i don't see any such drop, so let see in another 6 months.

And 300K or so are only because regfee was under $0.5

Nothing wrong in that, xyz and .club already done 2 years and still you can find these TLD's under 0.88 with some registrars

.pw has 1M+ regs...
And zero aftermarket among non-Chineses...

1- PW is cctld, please don't compare apple with orange
2- New gTLD's aftermarket value growth only you can see in another 2-3 years.
3- Millions of .com are available in marketplaces, same time they depreciated more than 60% value in comparing before new gtlds launched
4- Patience and holding power is a key element in new gtld investment
5- One-word keyword domain names will deliver better return

gTLD or ccTLD doesn't mean anything for Chineses... they reg/buy what is shorter...

Regarding nTLDs - they are already ~3 years old... and their share accordingly to Alexa is just under 2%.

OK, I don't have time to wait another 3 or 30 years and to waste it here.

p.s.
https://ntldstats.com/tld/gdn
More than 86% domains are under AlpNames... And 99% of endusers don't use this registrar at all.

Well ...Alpnames hold 3rd ranking in new gTLD registration https://ntldstats.com/ and from TOP 10 gTLD Alpname names hold 3 gTLD as a NO 1 Registrar too

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

This registrar is not used by endusers... that's why ~all their .gdn will be dropped.

 

[Kate]

Alpnames ranks on top for spamming and abuse too:

This is where spammers and scammers go for their domain needs.

A TLD that is mostly used for spamming... and most names are registered with a spam-friendly registrar... not surprising.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

https://www.spamhaus.org/statistics/registrars/
1st place for AlpNames.

Are you trying to say all 3 Million registered from Alpnames are the spammer? Don't miss out also see GMO (Japanese registrar and owner of .shop) and Uniregistrar (registry for 17 new gTLD) following with Alpnames in the same list

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Tons of .xyz (from June'2016 for ~$0) are under Uniregistry + other spammy TLDs = that's why...
~ the same at GMO...

And notice Badness Index @AlpNames - it is a few times higher than at Uniregistry...

~75% accordingly to SpamHaus abuses.

I fully doubt, for spammers 10 months it's too long time to keep domain name

Time will show % of fall

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

~ this summer you will see...

Sure...Will update you too

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

In 2016 even @Dynadot was among SpamHaus leaders...
But after my feedback Dyna significantly decreased their Badness Index...

There are rogue registrars... nothing new.
And now rogue registries too.

How you scale rogue registries or registrars?

No that was a number of years ago. I let most drop after a one year experiment. I have 0 .gdn now, nor last few years.
