.now showcase and discussion

[MiamiDomainer93]

I was able to pick up these two names in the 5th day of EAP for a great price. All the highly targeted keywords like news and porn sold in the 2nd day of EAP for around $3,400 each. Please share any of your .now, and your thoughts on the potential future. For some reason, I prefer this extension to .deal that also is in EAP.

guys it happened few times when i check a taken .now domain in browser i see the page of godaddy !!
how this page can appear if the .now extension cannot be listed at afternic/godaddy ?
Or Maybe the buyer just forwarded the domain to afternic/godaddy !!?
As per whois the domain registered at porkbun .

A lot of people will set their default nameservers to Afternic at the domain registrar, so whenever they register a domain it automatically points there unless they change it

All it takes is for Amazon to launch buy.now for it to be in the main stream. I checked multiple WHOIS databases and I am speculating buy.now is owned by Amazon or a big e-commerce player. Some WHOIS DBs return no data, it’s not available to buy, and the domain does not resolve to a website.*

* I could be wrong and just speculation

I thought the same when Amazon bought Twitch.TV, that it would blowup .TV domains, but it didn't

Like if you love .Now

I thought the same when Amazon bought Twitch.TV, that it would blowup .TV domains, but it didn't

I think it definitely helped, and .TV is a solid steady grower. The best alternative for YouTube channel or tv shows.

Someone I know hand reg’d usedcars.now for $30. Atom gave it $7700 appraisal and Humble about $5000. Nice score. YES, I know appraisal tools aren’t always accurate or a good metric but I think it’s a decent SLD.

I bought some .now to develop. One of the best things we can do right now is develop some of the domains to get eyes on the extension.

Just did a “Site:.now” search on Google, and came across the website “Bio.now”. It’s a cool website indexed by Google, that allows You to Unify Content from all the different Social Media Websites. Also, the design of the website is really nice… I hope that this new website takes off well & becomes successful… It’s really nice to come across people deploying cool websites & utilizing their .now domains. Another .now website that I came across was “Jobs.now”…

 

[romanlypovyi]

I was wondering how many cases you know of where domains with the *.now extension were sold?

Wow! That’s a great collection of names.

How much are your annual .now renewal fees?

I agree 100%.

It is rare to have a new gTLD that is widely usable in different projects.

Let's use your imagination and make something great.

Its high enough

They say no risk no rewards...
I highly believe in this extension and I believe this move will be profitable. I just hope it will happen quickly.

Btw, you can always ask other investors to join you and share part of the burden for a share in the future profits, if you need.

Nice. It's a good start for the acceptance of this extension.
IMO, don't publish these sales so the known price won't be dragged down from Wow.Now sale...

Two more beauties went live today:
NextBrand .com/products/crossfit-now

NextBrand .com/products/plunge-now

Btw, This link limitation is super annoying...

Ahh didn't think of that. IMHO they're worth more than reg fee but I did it to help them and their hobbies/marketing out. Plus expand the .now name.

For perspective .today has over half a million regs. We haven't hit 10K yet. Still early.

.now > .today

We're so early IMO with ~7000 regs.

bake.now redirects to quickdessert(dot)recipes

Interesting

.now > .today

It better be >! .today only has 101 reported Namebio sales since inception with ~460k regs. It doesn't sell well at all. If .now heads down the same path, this will not be a good outcome.

My counter augment to this is that every major city, or city in general with tourism, will have a .now as it's a call to action.

VisitXYZ.Now

VisitXYZ.Now >>>> VisitxyzNow.com
Italy.now
VisitItaly.Now

You get the idea

All over billboards.
Amazon knows what they're doing IMO.

VisitItaly.Today! VisitXYZ.Today! Could've made this same argument when .today launched... and it never took off.

Do a Google image search for "Now button" and another one for "Today button" and you'll get the picture. It's a different ball game...

Now is a much stronger call to action online and arguably, more commonly used. In addition to that - we're in the domain business and we all know that a domain needs to be short. Especially the TLD part. Most users never seen such a long TLD such as ".Today"

.Now is in its own league IMO compare to other gTLDs.
