discuss .IO Future

[John_Spar]

What you think about .io???
These are selling at higher rates now a days.What could you see after few months/years about .io sales?

 

[bluebox]

You are referring to internal transfer from one user to another in gandi.net, to transfer out from gandi to any registrar all you need is the auth code

Ah, OK - but that means you automatically have to add $33 when you are buying from someone.

nothing wrong with that; I want a year added to the renewal when I purchase a domain.

 

[ro5hit]

yeah .io have great future. I have appliance.io pretty tech related. Looking forward to sell

 

[Ali Azam]

I have these in .io

- ITServices.io
- MobileWallet.io
- Consoles.io

I would bid for your LLL.io but the fact it's registered at Gandi completely turned me off. Transferring out of them is pain in the ass - you actually have to send paperwork by normal mail (from what I've heard).
I would strongly suggest sticking with Namecheap - they are cheaper anyway.

This used to be the case but it has changed to the best of my knowledge. I just sold two IOs regged with Gandi to another NP user without a problem. The transfer was simple enough and went through no worries. They charged £5 to do it and the new owner now has the domains registered to him. He is happy enough -- you can check him out on my feedback profile.

Best,
Paul

Sold 7L.io today . NL.io is hot. Getting 2-3 offers daily. One more time Buyer is from Singapore. So far all NL.io sold by me to Asian Buyers

 

[Jacks86]

Few more sales. Jap.io, another LLL for $105, Apartment.io and costume.io

I think if you buy .IO based on 1) Tech 2) Asian req (1N-4N, 1L-4L) or solid general one words, odds are you'll do well given the sales.

Yeah I got Amphitheatre.io and Amphitheater.io, but I'm not sure if a lot of people know what those are. So I have a feeling I wasted my money...

 

[TERADOMAIN]

Want to add little info on .IO which could be helpful.

The Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) .io is assigned to the British Indian Ocean Territory. The .io domain is administered by the Internet Computer Bureau, a domain name registry company based in the United Kingdom.

Internet Computer Bureau web address is http://www.icb.co.uk/

I received one offer on trt.io so far. Also, today I added whm.io to Flippa. Will see how it goes, but I think that 3L will raise in price greatly.

 

[Jacks86]

outrank.io went for $709 yesterday: http://namebio.com/?s=QO0IDOzQzM

What would be the current estimate for 786.io ?

What would be the current estimate for 786.io ?

According to Namebio, there were only 5 NNN .io domains sold so far - http://namebio.com/?s=QNzkDM0QzM

I would hold this domain for a while, I think that the number of sales will increase and the price will go up

 

[Jacks86]

I wouldn't sell any 3L or 3N .io for anything less than than double the reg fee. $70-80. If it's a real good one with AAB or ABB pattern, low XXX.

 

[Jacks86]

For those that want to keep an eye on the .IO domain sales on Flippa, here is a link to all the reserve met auctions: https://flippa.com/domains/most-active?tld=io&sort_alias=ending_soon&reserve_met=T

Really wish GoDaddy would allow sales of .IO because it would help move things along. Right now it's really just Flippa, Park and sometimes SEDO.

 

[campout]

@Jacks86 I think GoDaddy does allow sales of .io.

 

[Jacks86]

@Jacks86 I think GoDaddy does allow sales of .io.

I've tried several times to list them and GD never allows me to, not even buy now/offer.

 

[campout]

I see some .io listed in GD Auctions that is not expiring, SNL for example:

https://auctions.godaddy.com/trpIte...link&iphoneview=1&cvosrc=affiliate.cj.4097748

That name is housed at NameCheap, so if one were to buy it, maybe they would have to also pay to transfer it to GD -- not sure.
