domain My first month of domain purchasing - 10am.ai

[bandhuamajdoor]

Hi folks,

This is my first discussion ever here on namepros, so it could be possible that this is not the right place where I am asking this question, so please bare with me.

This has been my first month into domain purchasing. I have zero idea how it works, I just picked the ones that thought make logical sense. Here are the ones I got, along with hypothesis behind the purchase.

10am.ai

Please let me know how you guys feel, and which one of it do you should should i keep for longest. Thanks.

Not a fan of numbers in domains.

Laliga is trademarked, you need to be more careful.

I'd suggest less expensive, known extensions to begin (ie .com)

All those .ai names. So expensive, and not much commercial appeal that I can see

it took us all years to master domains.

you just wasted 1k plus.

buy com io co org net xyz only

1word only

the more popular the better.

but before u buy read namebio and np min 200hour

Reading all your replies just break my heart :/

 

[alcy]

it's ok.
99percent of people start domains thinking its quick easy money. then we learn its exact opposite

 

[bandhuamajdoor]

Thanks for saying that.

Can someone suggest what are my options for the trademarked ones? Can I ask for refund if they are just bought today? I got it from namecheap, if that helps. Any help appreciated.

You can ask for a refund, though they aren't under any obligation to provide one.

You might just have to write it off as the cost of education.

In general .ai has relatively high renewal fees, so it's only worth keeping really good terms.

Curd is the only decent one that has a chance to sell. IMO.

Definitely ask for refund

Also, check tldes.com for lowest prices. CHECK THIS OUT

What you're calling a "hypothesis" is just a feature (fact) of the name. Some of them are factually wrong, btw.

I have zero idea how it works

What made you jump right into the deep end (expensive TLDs) if you acknowledge that you can't swim yet?

Reading all your replies just break my heart :/

I wish I had asked feedback and broken my heart when I started. And hey, it's still possible that someone purchases e.g. one of your "time of the day" domains.

Namecheap

$311.16

$392.16

$390.16

.game

I can't believe you registered such huge trademarked name for this money!
There is also a .game promotion where you could save a lot, if you still had to register that worthless trademarked name.

Nettigritty

$23.81

$545.12

$457.44

But did you pay $311 for laliga.game ?

Hey, I’m in the same boat—only a couple of months into domaining myself. If there’s one thing I’ve picked up, it’s that you’ve got to spend a ton of time on NamePros and NameBio before pulling the trigger on any domains. Seriously, the more you read and learn, the better your chances of avoiding costly mistakes.

 

[biggie]

3 letters,

make logical sense.

Hi

what form of logic did you use?

because the hypothesis of 3 letters is incorrect,
it's actually 2 numbers and 2 letters or what's considered as a 4 character domain.

i'm wondering though,
what made you buy .ai domains, instead of another extension?
obviously, there wasn't a budget constraint, if you spent so much to buy in those extensions as a newbie.

imo....

someone give this man award for.. getting it.

keep at it and remember in life no success possible without failure.. gl

I registered two trademarked terms at NameCheap. One I was able to get a refund. The other I was not. The sooner you ask (within 24 hours) the better.

I usually look here first now. https://tmsearch.uspto.gov/search/search-information

But I am US based. Every country has its own trademark laws. If you sell globally you have to meet global trademark laws. Domains are global. It gets very messy, very fast. If you see a good domain just laying around it could be strongly trademarked. Like it's radioactive

Anyone know the European Trademark database or even how to use it? It gives me a headache

Yep, I definitely picked up some duds when I first started, but I’m slowly getting better at this—at least, that’s what I tell myself! What really adds to the confusion for beginners like me are those reported sales of domains that I wouldn’t have even considered hand-registering, but then they sell for $XXXX or more.

From what I’ve gathered, it comes down to either the name itself or the SEO value behind it that determines a domain’s success. And when it’s just about the name, it’s all about the buyer’s sentiment and how deep their pockets are. Am I missing anything here?

I hate outdated government websites. Ask an AI connected to the internet like perplexity.ai
