In 2014 over a 1000 new domain extensions will be available.

[buyresaledomains]

What does that do to this biz? Does it make the .com even that much better? Or obsolete? As of now extensions have no bearing on search results. But what happens when a domain is "kendras.daycare". Will it impact Serps then?

Good luck trying to get these


Once again the blatantly obvious ones will be fought over and/or held by the registry. And the domainer that guess 'blatantly' wrong will be burning cash.


There wont be enough domainer money out there to buy out these extensions. Will see people trading whole word. whatever like we saw dot infos

Endusers will be trained "if you cant buy a dot com then only hand reg the new extensions"

Domainers have been buying anything dot org like its dot com. The new extensions I believe going to cause fringe dot orgs to drop like crazy.

With this many extensions there more ideas then money to purchase them so go light if you're jumping in.

Godaddy offers pre-registration of new gTLDs mostly for $40 (same price as .tv domains)
Does that mean that the regular price will be $40 or this is some kind of a special offer for the first buyers?
$40 for registrations/renewals seems lower than expected

 

[PlusNames]

Probably been already said, didn't read the whole thread, but pretty sure businesses are only going to buy any of the new gTLDs if they own the .com and can re-direct to it. Bad example, but could see shopping.com buy shop.now and do a re-direct.

I'm tempted, but all good ones will be gone by the time us small time guys get to participate, which is probably a good thing. The only gTLD I would buy is for my name and use it for email. Can only see GEO gTLDs succeeding (moderately).

Don't waste your money on redirecting gtlds to your .com... No one is typing superstore.bike lol

this is a very good thought... one of the few unique thoughts i've heard posted on this forum

There are probably more .co domain names that are diverted/redirected to .com or other TLD websites than there are actively developed .co websites. This kind of redirection is exactly what happens in new TLDs.

And if you look at the history of some of those backing these new gTLDs, they were rather active in Domain Tasting.

Don't know if that will work. The target market for many of these new gTLDs is the USA. That means that they will be up against the .com TLD.

Domainers have been buying anything dot org like its dot com. The new extensions I believe going to cause fringe dot orgs to drop like crazy.

It is already happening. The .info gTLD is losing registrations. The .eu ccTLD has stalled as German registrations have fallen. The .asia sTLD is losing thousands of domains each month.

With this many extensions there more ideas then money to purchase them so go light if you're jumping in.

It seems that there is only one constant in the launch of a new TLD - the small domainers get screwed and the registry and its cronies make money on high value keyword domains.

I understand. .co and .cm makes sens beacause it can be a typo. They want to protect their domain. But .whatever.... I think its like 1999 everyone's freaking out. Businesses will want to buy every domains. They need to protect their brand. But In fact its just a joke.

2000 came and nothings happened.

I see new gtlds registrars making money. Most investors.failing .

Have you spotted the gtld in the last phrase? Lol

 

[ZOX]

I'm SO CURIOUS as to how this will play out in reality...I really hope that the "Almighty .COM" will knock these new sucker gTLD's out into cyberspace! .kickass :kickass:

 

[McDuke]

That's really funny

I'm sitting on flicks.xxx with zero interest. Every .xxx even close to this is reserved or sold for 5 figures. Interest is 8-X

and it begins!

Wuahahaha

.xxx will rule!

if you dont want .xxx I'll give you 5$ for flicks.xxx

That's not the point you were trying to make.

A handful of sex crime domains being blocked each month in the UK isn't going to affect the marketplace.

Baby steps, once .com's start to be filtered and .adult, .sex and .porn are live you watch, there will be public support to take adult extensions out of .com and into adult extensions.

The majority of the public don't know about .xxx, when they do, then....

Who would ever forget that email addy?
I can see tons of direct navigation for this domain name as well, easily worth 5 figures


Say goodbye to your money :wave:



STOP THE MADNESS!

The public loves porn on .com which is why the industry is massive. The outcry will come from domainers who invested in .adult and got burned...

 

[McDuke]

I think the outcry will come from women's groups, family safe groups and religious groups. I think it will be a very slow transition but an inevitable one.

Well, they've had about 20 years to plead their case. I'd say they failed miserably. Let's give them another 20 and see if they have any success...

 

[McDuke]

Yeah now there are adult extensions and countries are starting to filter out .coms. Let see in 20 years.

 

[MasterOfMyDomains]

I have no opinion on .xxx extension. I heard from a seasoned and succesful investor here the premium .xxx will be worth $xxx,xxx in about xx years. Is all the stupid descriptive extensions, the registrars will keep releasing something just a bit better once .stupidextension runs out of premo stuff
I would buy a .info anyday over a .poopoo
Due diligence or we will get blasted out of the sky and vaporized.

...

That is wishful thinking, besides .xxx is a huge failure. Don't hope for a comeback. Be smart :imho:
And when they add more TLDs like .gay and .love or .footfetish, there will be even more dilution.

Airlines were supposed to switch to .aero too right ?
Industry-specific TLDs have always failed, and there is no reason to expect otherwise with adult.

Even if one country, even the US decides to ban adult on .com that won't directly affect other countries. But some countries have blacklisted the whole .xxx TLD though.

 

[tomcarl]

Some would argue that if the new gTLDs shift mainstream acceptance of .COM alternatives, .XXX values should be going up, not dilute.
