.io .io Thread and Showcase

Bought a new .io domain through sedo last week a NN.io , bit of an investment and gamble but worth a shot in my opinion.

Anyone investing in .io domains? please feel free to share your investments.

Cheers

I really don't see how .io is better than .bio.
I have a few perfect .bio's which don't sell, or sells but doesn't get paid.
...
In each case, a group of people get best names in an extension, and make it popular artificially, and fake-sells some poor ones, and do deals with big players and at the end really make it popular, at least temporarily.
...
Why do I say this, because I'm jealous? No, I'm not against speculation. We are not talking about fairness here. .biz was made very unpopular, and some domains which would sell for millions if were .com, were dropping, and could be grabbed just for $2. Now it doesn't happen, because neulevel is reserving them for themselves and not allow them to drop. So will they make .biz popuar: I think they will give it a try.

It's all about usage and recognizability. If a tech bro sees another tech bro build a startup on .io, when they start a company they'll think of the .io. For better or worse, .io has built a LOT of mindshare from all the tech startups who couldn't find a .com available (or weren't willing to pay for it), just like .co got mindshare from consumer-oriented startups. I can't think of a single company with .bio. The only new TLD that comes even close to com/io/co in terms of mindshare is .app, and it's obvious why.

How strong are LLL.io domains? I see that pretty much everything is taken, and yet namebio only lists one sale - lll.io for $320. Do you know any other sales, esp. to end user? I have MLE // io

Hard to sell, unless they are a word or highly pronounceable. I had abz.io and never managed to shift it. Generally avoid.

Ah, I was doing it wrong, entered 'lll' instead of 'LLL' in the pattern box.

I've dropped all my LLL, NNN and 1 word .io domains.
Never received a single offers for them.

 

[BrandEntrance.com]

VPS.io J4.io

I have the above two.

So... the VPS.io is a great name but it isn't set up for a correct sale. The voice "John" reads it up as a .com instead of .io, and you have no reference to 'Virtual Private Server/s' (which is your major market here) anywhere on the texts.

Hope that helps.

I'm having

Elance.io

Venison.io
Fondle.io
Visacard.io
Glassware.io
Earplugs.io
Invester.io
InstantMessenger.io

and waiting for diligent luck on them.

well of course not all 3l are equal. the great ones have value. else avoid. still u regularly see even crappier ones sell on park.io or such places for couple 100s etc...

i sold ken for round 3k while ago. now hold jef and couple more.. but try to avoid in general.
only crap left to reg anyway now in 3l

cant go by what sells how much on park.io or sav auctions anyway, cause people there will bid on total bs most time... hopefully it aint investors else theyre screwed for reselling that crap given what they pay it.

 

[ecomslice]

safe to assume everyone knows , but ill mention again anyhow.
networksolutions has 5$ .io now


I only took 1 , not feeling the .io
