.life - Anyone see any value in this ext?

[dgmweb]

I've picked up a handful of them, just curious what others' thoughts are on this extension.

 

[GoKaizen]

Blockchain.life $81

Ugh, that's pretty dismal considering the impact of the Blockchain...

There's value if the domain makes sense from a marketing standpoint. Blockchain makes no sense in the extension. And if I'm not mistaken the $81 is the price to register and renew, not an end-user sale price. However, correct me if I'm wrong.

$1.17 at 1and1...

p.s. ~110K as of today...

That's what it sold for at Flippa - https://flippa.com/8332636-blockchain-life

 

[New.Life]

.life - One of the best new gTLDs.

 

[atinc]

blockchain.life doesn`t make sense to me.

If you have something which makes sense with the extension than it is okay.

Would you like to share what you registered?

 

[New.Life]

No

Blockchain.life $81

I have: Network.Life

Google:

Blockchain - About 18,600,000 results
Network - About 2,370,000,000 results

"blockchain life" - About 1,360 results
"network life" - About 255,000 results

And it's still not the kind of domains that domainers should buy for profit !

 

[New.Life]

My - New.Life

Google:

"blockchain life".......... - 1,360 results.
"new life" .......... ..- 95,300,000 results.

The difference is almost a 100,000 times.

"blockchain life" - for end users - Good domain, for domainers - bad!

"new life" - for end users - one of the Best domains, for domainers - perfect!

But "Google" of course is only one of the indicators.

Hey thanks for the replies folks, some good info there.

I reg'd guitar4.life and guitars4.life for about $1 or so each a few months back. Figured I'd do something with them at some point.

 

[GoKaizen]

Agreed.

Companies want .com or if it is an Blockchain initiative they will go with a .org.

Thanks for pointing that out. I was guessing that the registry valued the term 'blockchain' higher than $1.99 but I guess not. It's just standard renewal.

Here are a few:
undocumented life
transcribe life
describe life
wonderful life
magic life

and several others along those lines.

We're going to have to hold out for end-users for a while.

 

[GoKaizen]

For now, the registry could raise renewal price when it wants to.

It's just standard renewal.

There are none.

True.

There are none.

Also true for now.

 

[dgmweb]

I definitely see branding possibilities in the extension for end-users, but on a name-by-name basis. "wonderful.life" for example would be a great site for inspirational quotes or other positivity, while something like "musicfor.life" could be a charity group or event.

 

[Lite]

Here are a few:
wonderful life
magic life

and several others along those lines.

Nice names!

 

[Bobby L]

Nice names!

Thanks Lite! Coming up on 3rd anniversary and time to renew. They're premium and getting 'heavy' to carry.
