"zudeche" is not a commonly used term in Chinese, "zunlinqiche" is too long and also not a commonly used term in Chinese. I dont think end user will like these two names. sorry.

Thank you but i do see that zuche.com is a MAJOR car rental site owned by Hertz and Enterprise.

Mr Chen-I saw you're buying .co we own Luxing.co do you think this is a good name for the China market? We also own bj10.xyz is does the .xyz extension have a future in China? As well as zubaoxian.com ( lease insurance) is this name too long for a company and if so how does a company they say they're in the insurance business in Chinese? I see AIG the largest insurer in the USA has a major site on Baoxian.com. Thank you!

Yintewangjia.com ( Internet plus) jiucheshichang.com ( used car market) comments please? ( long I know but useful? ) thank you.

gouwub.com (shopping now/go shoping now) Mr Chen would this name work for an e-commerce site? Thank you.

 

[DaveX]

haha, thanks for the suggestion. we'll take into consideration.

Oh, and @190.com ..Could you check out chinese domain site 2345.ch? I dont speak chinese, so if you could give your opinion of this site. Is it popular in China?

2345.ch seems to be a major news and e-commerce site in Chinese. Google also switches it right to English automatically on my computer to reach westerners I assume. Like an amazon on steroids.

Chinese buyers registered millions of 5 letter .com domains without AEIOUV, then suddenly stopped, leaving about 11% unregistered. There also have been mass buyouts of short domains in a number of extensions. I assume you were not involved, but perhaps you can explain the buyers' thinking?

It seems unlikely that anyone will buy these names at a profit before renewal. It seems very unlikely that sales and parking will cover renewal costs for many years. Yet millions of dollars were spent on these domains.

Are these buyers expecting such a huge expansion of the internet that those domains will eventually be sold to end users for more than the accumulated costs?

Thanks for your response.

My question @190.com:

.com/.net/.org prices keep rising bit by bit. And yet they have now combined 150+ million names. Do they really need that extra cash for running the operations or they are just getting greedy with the lack of oversight from community?

 

[London555]

Mr Chen do "english" words work in the .cn extension for china? We own DietPlans.cn also are you still buying .co? We own z80.co and plan to hold it for future investment-Thank you.

@190.com

I have read that in China, many domain investors have begun exploring alternative ccTLD and gTLD domain names as investments. Do you have any idea which extensions other than .com and .cn that are becoming popular in China.

Also, I have read that .xyz and .club are somehow popular in China. Is this true? Or are there other extensions that Chinese domain investors are purchasing. I understand that .vc is being used too.

 

[Recons.Com]

.VC is real puzzle to me.

Chinese seem to be overpaying hugely for them. Can't see that many "Venture Capitalists" there willing to pay for/starting business on .vc

I think there may be some meaning or symbolism to .vc. No other way to explain the interest in .vc. Maybe chinese view .vc as Virtual China or something. Who knows.

Mr Chen-we actually own a small hedge fund so domains are not really our business but we own the name
eGeGu.com Would this be a good name for us to use if we decide to expand into China? "gegu" of course being "shares in a public company" Thank you.

Hey Mr Chen,

What is your view on 5L Chips (with and without patterns)?

Do they will have any value in future?

Thanks

Congrats @190.com for lunching such an amazing market, I'm also waiting for the 1$ promotion to move my domain names into your platform.
I just need to mention that your website is really slow , may be for me , but it take a long time to load , is this temporary ? Also I have a question , what do you think of jiezhiriqi.com ? is it common in China ?!

 

[12no3]

it is no longer 1usd, it is free now for 4L.com chip and many others

Word of Caution: Don't jump into the opportunity just because it is free. Whenever any new service/product is launched, they are created with lot of hype/positive things. Intellegent people watch and analyse the newly launched service before deciding to use it.

Consider this: When a new car is launched, it is given lot of publicity, heavy discount and much hype is created. People starts booking the car in the hope to get it at discounted prices. Once they actually get a delivery of the car and after using it for few days, they find some technical faults or didn't like something or whatever. Now those intellegent people who didn't book the car and were waiting for the feedback/market report of the car got this news and they decided not to buy it. Those who booked the car and paid were regretting it.

So who won in the end? Those who were patient and were willing to pay a little more if the market report of the car is good.

Same case applies here. It's better to wait for a month or two to get the market report/people opinion about the site, instead of just jumping into it and handing over your precious domains to the newly launched company.

But in the end, it's your decision.Thanks
