Thank you for the appraisal. Will keep that in mind.

You're welcome

Stick to .com and buy names on the aftermarket, don't hand-reg any names, there is nothing of value

Buygifts.online and Autoquote.online are both great domains and worth keeping. It is just difficult to value these domains names at the present time.

Don't listen to the comments above
Dot Online is easily the best gtld released to date and they will have a good start on Dot Web with a solid marketing budget. I knew they would crush the domain name registration record and I was expecting around 75000 paid registrations on the first day.

Those who say just keep to Dot Com are living in the past. I was in Dot.Com domains in the 90s.
Technology changes constantly and keyword .online domains will be very valuable in the future.

There are no Dot Com domains of any value left for years already in my opinion. Yes, if you have a huge budget, you can still make some cash but over 90 percent of Dot Com;s have no value and make no sense.

I personally believe that it is a far better investment to purchase Buygifts.online and Autoquote.online than some stupid .com that has no meaning.

Well done on your purchase. I have been reading this forum for a few months now and decided to join today as I am excited again in the domain business, especially Dot Online and Dot Web in the future.

I pre-registered around 50 .online domains around 2 years ago. I got around 30 in the end including some great keywords and Geo domains.

There have been many Premium .online domians snapped up at high prices in the last few days. I was seriously thinking of forking out big bucks for a couple of Geo domains but I missed out, still picked up some good ones.

We might live in the past, but history has proved itself over and over again

Technology changes but the attitude of businesses and the general public doesn't, .COM and cctld's has always been and will continue to be what companies use, how many .online names are developed at the moment, Im not comparing it to how many .COM names are developed, I'm just curious

There have been many Premium .online domians snapped up at high prices in the last few days

There are always a few premiums sold for decent prices but that is because the registry is selling them and making a killing off the "fake" hype, also have a look who has purchased those premium names??

 

[geoonlinedomains]

Good one!
That is just silly, how many ".online are developed". It was only released a few minutes ago!

The attitude of business and especially consumers are changing all the time. Many young folks have the attention span of a gold fish but they really dig these new extensions.

Actually, there was not much media hype about.online at all. Although, it was very obvious that it would smash the records as it just :"fits". Nothing to do with hype in my opinion, they just see this as the only decent extension released to date.

Computers and the internet have only really been around for the last 20 years which is nothing. (i used morse code in the Navy not very long ago), so how can you say the "companies and general public" always have and always will use .com. You do not know that!

The point i am making is that some of these .online domains are excellent value and could be the perfect fit for existing or new businesses who do not have the .com they would like, which is most of them.

Too early to appraise.. You'll have to wait to see if the extension become successful or not.

.online will certainly be one that fails because all domains/websites are online?? No need to to state the obvious

You seem to be a domain expert, especially on domains that were released only "a few minutes ago" what do you base your findings or predictions on? I base mine on seeing every new extension that has been launched in the last 15 years eventually failing after all the domain hype?

 

[geoonlinedomains]

I am far from a domain expert. You are the one who has your eyes shut!

That is why .online will actually succeed, because you are online.
If i am looking for auto insurance quote, i would type in google. Auto insurance quote online as that is
exactly what i am looking for. I would not type in Auto insurance quote com

You are also missing the point. It is still far better to pay 10 bucks today for Autoinsurancequote.online than buy Autoinsurance0022quote.com

15 years is nothing. The other domain extensions failed because they are no good and the .com is now saturated and ridiculous. Just look at what people are registering. like 2627382.com and every other piece of rubbish you can think of.

They did not smash the record for no reason, nothing to do with hype, just common sense and a chance of a good investment for peanuts. I also believe that big percentage of the .online's will be developed.

 

[gilescoley]

ok good luck with that, don't assume anything with domaining and do your research before jumping on a new extension bandwagon

You are the one who has your eyes shut!

Just look at what people are registering. like 2627382.com and every other piece of rubbish you can think of.

The prefect example of why you need to research and not keep your "eyes shut"? Numeric names sell very well...the chinese love them...some recent sales of names you say are a "piece of rubbish"

Domain names can be very deceptive if you arent prepared to research everything you buy, dont fall for the "if it sounds good, it must be"...that just doesnt work

I am well aware of what they sell for and I am well aware what the Chinese like as I live in Asia.
It is like the stock market, good until it crashes.
I would still rather pay 10 bucks today for 888.online than 250k for 88888.com

I just think it is unfair of you to tell everyone, especially the new people to domain names that there is no value. You do not know that and I strongly believe you are wrong. Don't worry, I will let you know when
I have sold a couple of mine.

Have fun with your .com's

 

[gilescoley]

I am well aware of what they sell for and I am well aware what the Chinese

Why the strange comment then?

I would still rather pay 10 bucks today for 888.online than 250k for 88888.com

then this is wrong game for you...

Im not telling everyone, only those who will listen and who want to save some renewal fees next year

I will let you know when I have sold a couple of mine

Send me a PM when you do

 

[geoonlinedomains]

no worries, I look forward to it.
You still do not get it. Not many people, especially new guys have 250k to by a 88888.com but I am sure
they have 10 dollars to buy a decent .online. So, you see no value in 888.online for 10 bucks for example?
Maybe its time you retired from the game. That's right, every one else is an idiot, they smashed all the records because of the hype! Why did the other domains like website not get these numbers?
.online is a perfect fit to many domain names. Time will tell. I look forward to their press releases this week.

 

[vivaldi]

Not impossible to sell buygifts.online, sold far worse new g's. But yeah you compete with a lot of options for those who aren't stuck on .com. I think the term online is pointless and dated myself in the western world but domainers got a big thing for the word online.

 

[gilescoley]

@geononlinedomains

dont say "everyone"..its just a handful of domainers...have a look when most signed up to namepros? A pattern forms every time

i cant retire now..been doing it too long...not too late for you though

Try getting 888.online and see if you can?

Rather spend the $10 and use coupons and register 5 average .com names

 

[geoonlinedomains]

You could have registered it yesterday for that. I got a few NNN for reg fee.

Please give me examples of these 5 average.com names you will get for $10. That will be a good
laugh.

The old, I have been here for ever story again.

 

[gilescoley]

Yeah, Im sure you would have snapped it up

GD has $1.99 coupon codes a while ago, thats $9.95 for 5 names...if not other registrars have deals for between $2-$8 .COM names.... I dont hand-reg names so its really not for me...but a 2nd rate .com is better than a premium new extension

.COMs are cheaper as well so why not focus on those...you can argue all you want but the proof is right here - www.namebio.com

Im outta here, no more comments from me

I do NOT think they did smash the record.
I have a feeling that in time it will come out that the registry (in some form or fashion) manipulated the sales numbers to make it show more then what was actually sold to individuals (out side of the registry itself).

I stated many times and I will state it again. I used my list of over 500 keywords to register an .ONLINE domain name and this is what I found:
A goodly percentage of them showed up as already registered (if I had to put a number to it... I would say around 90%). The remaining (10% or so), where listed for sale but at prices that where no LESS then $700 per year.
On a whim, I started looking up random names off my list that showed as already registered and found that they all had the same registration information.
All of the sample I took (27 domain names) where registered to Radix registry.
I put in random premium keywords into the whois and found that again, they where all registered to Radix registry.

One could argue that maybe.... just maybe, Radix inflated its own numbers to make it appear better then the sales actually where.
One could also argue that maybe... just maybe...geoONLINEdomains (who showed up as the same time that ONLINE went GA) is part of the mechanism to further drum up support for an extension who by all means was only lukewarm among domainers. By the looks of things... not many domainers are flashing around or bragging about their .ONLINE catch like you would expect to see with those kinds of sales numbers.

Hmmmm.....

uhhh... this is kind of a 'stretch' I'd say. But then again, maybe in your hyper distaste for the new gTLDs, to you .co is a 'failure', though it sold for $20 million and is still being regged and used by many. And since all those new extensions of the last 15 years are all still out there, being regged and used, and show no signs of being discontinued or taken off the market, perhaps you can explain why you are telling everyone they are 'failing' extensions!!

Doesn't seem to ring true to me. Not being 'number one' is not failing in my view, just ask Pepsi. But to you...?

...just sayin...
