opinion Name some domains you think actually look BETTER as a gTLD than a dot com

[Hootsifer]

No bias legit look better than a dot com.

Happy.World is better than Happy.Com
Good.Money is better than Good.Com

Be REAL! The world is big, the Life is beautiful and colorful.
Don't be boring, old-fashioned, don't get stuck on the old three-letter meaning!

Be Creative!

If I would buy caftans.com I would definitely buy caftans.shop but it is also taken. The other extensions are useless in this generic.
Yet .shop version is a must have in my opinion.

caftans.click

You kidding?

No in a few cases I have thought a gTLD looks cleaner than a dot com.

Great thread @Shuttlepro ! Even drew the Domain King here for a few days! Kudos!!

No he doesn't.

Hence his desperate 'return' from 'retirement' tweeting and posting

Welcome to the evolution of domaining. Survival of the fittest, not the loudest.

Schilling knows what's up - and strategically positioned himself accordingly. As do everyone else who isn't a .commie

Corporations like G,AMZN,FB et. al. don't collectively spend hundreds of millions of dollars on an armada of .gTLDs keyword or branded for kicks.

I'm seeing gTLDs everywhere because I don't surf in the .commie ghetto

Expect .com values to keep dropping YoY because Economics 101

.com is dead, long live the .gTLDs (Ask the french the origin of this phrase)

I think that corporations also spend hundreds of millions on useless protective registrations each year like brand.xxx

did Facebook even apply for a TLD?

If they did not what does this tell us? One of the largest internet companies not using their own TLD?

I don't know when I visited the last site using a TLD excluding the ones that I visit because of threads like this one. It's not that I am avoiding them, I just don't happen to end up on one.

.com is dead, long live the .gTLDs (Ask the french the origin of this phrase)

http://domainnamewire.com/2017/04/28/verisign-credits-super-bowl-for-strong-quarter/

for a dead extension the aftermarket is still pretty strong unlike nGTLD sales.

in my opinion the new TLDs have maybe a few million genuine regs(excluding freebies, speculators etc.) about the size of .info. So far it's not threatening.

thinking about it, further rounds will be lower quality TLDs, far more junk will be released. I don't think that all TLDs can be sustainable. if the current ones don't gain any traction the new releases won't either.

indeed. he is buying up .com and .net like crazy.

indeed. he is buying up .com and .net like crazy.

He said .com and gtld both will have market.

 

[dordomai]

He said .com and gtld both will have market.

.com market: end-users, ngTLD market: domainers

 

[Ram G.]

.com market: end-users, ngTLD market: domainers

You know .com had few end-users 25 years ago.. same with GTLD's.. slow but steady!

 

[Rhythm8]

.com has been reduced to just 301 redirects and email and chips

nobody is buying .com for branding and marketing except noobs

dxc.com
cba.com

Lol. The weekly reported sales would disagree.

Saying nobody is buying .COM except noobs is quite a disconnect from reality.

Feel free to check out NameBio.com or DNJournal.com.

There are plenty of .COM sales daily on GoDaddy, NameJet, DropCatch, Afternic, BuyDomains, and many other sites.

Checked out DNJournal:

#1 BeAmazed.com is a just a redirect to a youtube channel
#2 Candidly.com is just a redirect to kandid.ly

WOW! Clear and compelling evidence that .COM must be dead.

These handful of examples carry far greater weight than the many millions of dollars a month in .COM sales.
Thanks for opening my eyes!

Considering Mike Mann's desperate posts (which are provoked by his drop in sales), I would say that ngtlds have 25% of the end-user share.

i think that Namebio, registration stats and Alexa stats are better indicators than Mike Mann's posts.

Godaddy have just a few million regs so the average joe isn't buying them.

The average buyer is Chinese, probably with more money than experience, bulk buyer, buying words on the right of the dot that many of his countrymen would not understand and that would not be used in their domains, with a mixture of english language words and things like 7782qxc.TLD

all of them?

 

[Brandon.Domains]

Ok, so you do believe that new gTLDs are easier to read? I thought it was the other way around.

In that case here is my contribution:

Inter.com

Of course, it only works with phrases that fit together.

Thanks,
Brandon
