Not worth losing $160 over a domain :imho:

I take it not a lot of people will get these, so why is it worth the risk buying one? .jobs just wont become popular surely at this risk/price

 

[Humdizzy]

You are refunded the 120 just not the app fee if you dont get the name

I probably wouldn't reg one of these if it was $1 and no restrictions (with a few exceptions). Now with a $160 reg, it's simply out of the question.

The only place that i have seen .jobs domain names avaliable is at enom, but it appears that other registers are now offering it too :D

 

[worldstar]

$160 seems too high

 

[GTech]

blow. was taken too.

I'm finding some decent one word names, related to jobs though.

Damn costly domains..will buy when the price comes down

I just registered hard.jobs, man I hope they except it, I cant afford to lose 40 bucks.

definately not! .jobs will not be a smasher in any way. Nobody knows about it, nobody cares about it & it's way to expensive

 

[domain4u]

umm. Okay, its not easy to get approved for .jobs i heard from someone, apparently you need some sort of a agency or proof that you actually employ people, like a computer firm, or a computing only job agency! I dont think us normal domainers will get to have the .jobs same will probably go for the .travel

And this is exactly what they are trying to avoid by charging so much for them. While steve.jobs might be cool, it is not what the extension was meant for. The extension is meant for jobs, not cool domains.

They should up the price for .XXX and .Travel when they are released to over $100.00, too.

It's only expensive for those that want to register useless .JOBS domains but for those that actualy want to develp a serious .JOBS site, $160.00 is not too expensive.

I just registered hard.jobs, man I hope they except it, I cant afford to lose 40 bucks.

Then you probably should not have regged it in the first place, right?

From the GD page posted above...

Best of all, .jobs is a restricted domain, meaning applicants will be subject to a verification process to confirm they qualify for a .jobs domain name—no cyber-squatting, no name hoarding, no hassle.

that said, I wonder how they approved BLOW. I mean, unless you are a glass blowing factory or a whore house, how would one "qualify" for such a domain.

What's the renewal fee? Still 160$?

blow.jobs is a registry reserved name.
