No matter how you cut it, I see .network being an absolute failure. Yes, some new extensions just might surprise me (they won't), but a few lack purpose. .network will get confused with .net & will fail to be of any use within 2 years, I'm estimating. Buy .club or something--at least it won't get confused with a major gTLD

 

[Gobinath]

but i don't think it is going to confuse anybody, it is clear and expressed as "network."
it will definitely emerge as a promising extension. lets wait and see , not to judge at early stage.

This is overestimating the intelligence of the masses. You're right though: shouldn't be judged too soon. But I feel safer not throwing my hat into this

We all have our strategies in the domain industry and surely time will tell with these new extension. I based my purchases of .network and 2 other extensions on a few things.

1) Is this a domain I would develop?
2) Does this domain name fit with the industry I work with/in and love?
3) Do I already own the .com version or is it buyable i.e not owned by a massive tech company or domain company?
4) I do not buy with hopes of a company wanting to use this extension as a brand but more so can this domain be leased or sold for marketing purposes or to supplement the existing brand.
5) How widely is the extension used either in speech, marketing presence, company names etc
6) Take risk aversion into account.

This is just my approach. As such, I think .network will be more successful then some of the other extensions dependent on quality of keywords.

@James Jean
good buying domain strategy
yes it depends on the investor whether they look for EMD or Brandable, everyone has their own strategy based on their research, as you said, time is going to answer about the future of new gtlds
Thank You

 

[Archangel]

Everyone has his own thing, and I've said many times it's okay to reg a few new tlds so long as you can afford it. .network just seems wasteful IMO. It still might not be bad to own 1-2 as a future investment, but I wouldn't personally do it. .net and .network are too easily confused

I view .network (like all new gTLDs) completely different than .net, because I'm using the extension as a word and not a category.

I just today registered beacon.network because I read about a new startup that is creating a marketplace to rent access to beacons already in the field. https://www.beaconsinspace.com/

Obviously the .com (beaconnetwork.com) has a higher resale value, but:
* I like visually how the "." separates the two words, beacon and network, so that the two "n" are not consecutive.
* The .com has been registered since 2003 and is for sale at Sedo with "Make Offer". I'm guessing it will not be cheap.
* The cost of .com is about $9/year but the new gTLD, although more expensive, is only about $18/year. If I hold the domain for 10 year, my cost would be $180. The 10 year cost of .com would be $90, so the difference is only $90 more. I think I can easily sell this domain during the next 10 years for more than that. It is worth the risk.
* If beacons don't catch on, even though I think they will, I will be out very little (only yearly fees) compared to paying $x,xxx-$xx,xxx for the acquisition cost of .com plus the renewal fees.

I recommended this exact domain last month to someone here on NP who was after tech gtlds.

IBM has a pertinent patent and uses the term "beacon network"

Renewal rates are OK, agree with your financial assessment (risk / potential profit)

I just gave in on this new gTLD as it is an exact match to my business name (though owning the .net).

Forwarding it now.
