Guy who's pushing new gtlds giving up on it? How many names u guys dropped? Anyone still believes in it?

From Frank's position, it makes more sense to sell them at a lower cost in higher quantities with near zero overhead, because he owns the registry. To sell them at a premium, one by one, takes a lot of time, resources and brokers.

For those of us who don't own a registry, our only option is to buy the best new gTLDs and sell them at a premium to one-off end-users that come knocking on our doors.

I do not know one person who made money off new gtlds, but tons of people lost money already

History has a tremendous way of repeating itself. When it comes to nGTLD's one needs to only look back to the early 2000's when .biz, .mobi, .info among others came out and failed miserably.

This is a repeat of that but on a much larger scale. Some people just never learn unfortunately.

I can see why he got rid of some extensions

Property 26,440

.Flowers 14,672

.Audio 13,770

.Diet 12,978

.Link 12,261

.Help 10,900

.Christmas 10,576

.Hosting 9,163

.Blackfriday 7,020

.Hiphop 3,583

Thinking maybe he keep the premium one and dumped the garbage..

Couldn't agree more... I remember the .Mobi craze - and the eventual crash - and it's the same thing all over again... The sad thing here is that in another 5-10 years, they'll roll out yet another new extension(s), and folks will fall for it all over again... (Back in the gold rush days, they used to call it "mining the miners...") Indeed, some folks will never learn... (And sadly, it's usually the noobs who can least afford the loss on their investments...)

The recent auction of 2L .Club was surely a flop...
I personally dropped over 100 Gltd in the pass month or so and more to follow. Thanks God for .99 cent domains

If you really believe that..maybe change the "tag line" that is right under your forum name..

yes I seen a few that I like but really not in my budget! Maybe in a few years when price is down..

.online, io, VIP, store, shop, tv, live, news, pizza, rent, gold and other once that make sense. Maybe I missed something...

This means nothing other than he made bad choices with the extensions. Only a half-wit would keep that many names with those subpar extensions in their portfolio.

Even with great names, gTLD's were never meant for a quick flip. It is inconceivable to think they would catch on quicklly enough to be profitable within the first 5, even 10 years. Spending a fortune on a vast array of names, and then budgeting for the renewals is daunting. Better to keep it smart and slim.

They will charge you INSANE RENEWAL FEE for it. It will be cheaper to buy amazing com domain

New TLDs are great for low-budget developers and small businesses who don't want to pay for an aftermarket domain. However that makes them challenging investments. Keyword availability tends to be easier in alternative extensions because there are far fewer registrations in those extensions. However selling domains in alt TLDs continues to be rather difficult. If you cannot sell .net or .info or .tv domains at a portfolio profit why would you invest in New tlds?
