.la names

[kubativity]

I have a couple questions about .la names:

who can reg/own them?

what is this extension used for?

where can you buy .la names ? (best price, best service?)

Thanks

.LA is the country code for Laos - located is SE Asia, between Thailand and Vietnam. The extension is run by Affilias, who run .INFO and some others.

.LA names are for sale to everyone, no residence restrictions, for any legal purpose, as far as I can tell.

They are promoted as the domain for Los Angeles, USA - That is a much bigger market than Laos, although Laos has a good sized population amd may someday be an economic force. Secondary meanings are Louisiana and Latin America.

Several Registrars have .LA, Dotster is $35 per year (Sometimes there is a $5. coupon). Their system allows you to buy two letter .LA, some of which are still available. (Many registrars are not able to process two letter sales because their system does not believe they exist). Seems like Moniker has .LA, I do not know how much. Moniker would be better service, although Dotster while slow, is OK.

There are still some good names in .LA, although there are less available than many other little-known extensions. It has a meaning - Los Angeles, one of the world's largest and wealthiest cities. The stability of the registry is not sure and the renewal cost is a lot more than .COM.

Domainsite is only $39.99. I usually register .la with them.

And Dan: blogs.la...

Never heard of .la .................... Maybe it is profitable . Guess there are a lot of LLL.la still available ............

1 Year .LA Domain Name Registration $39.00 on DomainSite.com

i have only 1 domain

Have also been using domainsite- lots of short domains still available...

Still waiting to see if the Los Angeles 'hijack' catches on with the people and businesses there, may be quite a worthwhile extension then.

The only ccTLD that i am currently investing in, is .cc. I do not see a value in .la unless you have a great keyword domain that you could sell regardless of TLD.

Does anyone remember the old .la website with the bricks?

They all got offers, some for this pair together

so I d say there are some value on .la ext, but not that excited. Luckily, I could get purchase and renewal fee back with the ads income of upload.la :bingo:

The fact that you can own a great name even with this TLD is pretty sick. Great buy, and good luck on the sale.
