I wouldn't bother with these names, there is no market for them, 5 reported sales in total is not promising

Don't sweat Gilescoley, he tends to lean pessimistic.

I have had mixed bag success with this extension. Sold one three letter acronym for $300, one 4 letter keyword for $400, and recently dumped a handful of single word ones for $129 total. 8888.one sold on 4.cn for over $1000 I think - but I don't know the final price.

To date I invested $176 in reg fees, have paid $68 in marketing costs, and minus financial transaction fees am at $561 net for those sold. Huge profits? No, but I still have Mumbai, Scotland, Pour, Fed, and a couple others in my pocket to hold higher prices to.

Namebio isn't the best resource for details on how well a particular extension has done, or is doing.

Google has 802,000 indexed pages in the .one extension, many of them Asian oddly enough.

It's a newish extension, and like all new gtlds it's too soon to say what the future is - but it's too early to also count it out. I wouldn't invest heavy in it, only reg choice words, be prepared to spend some time marketing and reaching out to end users, don't try to hit a XX,XXX sale and be happy with turning them at mid-XXX.

There are domainers who avoid new gtlds like the plague and prefer liquids or traffic, there are domainers who balance liquid investments and new gtlds knowing that new gtlds can take more work and time (sometimes years) to see high returns. And there are some domainers who register 200 domains in new gtlds (or legacy for that matter) with words left of the dot that make zero sense and then think the extension is lousy - when the issue was the domainer.

If you can grab a few decent ones at reg fee, don't mind working at them or selling at low-mid XXX, have at it and enjoy the experience of it - worse case scenario you're out 30 - 40 bucks - best case scenario you make your money back plus extra, and get the experience of it.

Good luck!

I may be negative with these extensions, but you only have to look at the sales and you will see the stats, the same with all the other new gtld's, you have to go with the facts, rather than what some domainers think or because someone has a "feeling" that the extension will take off. Dont register names because of the odd isolated sale in that extension, there are sales in every new extension, for instance that 8888.con sale, its just a domainer who bought it and the name is back for sale?? the same with 888.one and 88888.one...these are not end-user sales

Look at all the past new extensions and the threads relating to them, the same thing happens to all of them

Can you post the domains you sold please? So that I can get an idea..

And what do you mean by 'marketing cost'? I use twitter, fb and email and the cost for that is the electricity bill :D

It will be a good investment. When I register ngltd's, I think about the industry 15-20 years ago when people were registering all those awesome domains and now get $XX,XXX for each domain they registered. At that time investing in .com would be no different than investing in a ngltd today and only few people took the chance, and those who took that chance and invested in .com are now seeing big return on there investments.

I am not saying that a person should invest thousands of dollars in ngltd's, it depends on a person's budget. In total, I have invested only $500 in domaining since I started 3 months ago. Out of that $500, about $240 were spent on ngltd's (.xyz and .one only).

Few of .one domains I have registered:

immersive.one
holograms.one
manchester.one
vocal.one
realtime.one
headset.one
headsets.one
eurasia.one
pvt.one
autorepairs.one
wheels.one
credible.one
accurate.one
unreal.one
detect.one
featured.one
examine.one
profitable.one
repairs.one

I also was going to reg 'Hawaii.one' but someone grabbed it before me . The best names are vanishing fast, Do it now or you are going to miss it just like I missed the Chinese Premium domains buyout.

I'm not knocking you, Giles - I think you give great advice. I was just sharing my take with this extension in particular, and speaking first hand my personal experience to date with it.

Will any extension ever be what .com was/is? Probably not, but with time there is a place for new extensions. I think when approached wisely they can make a return. They're not liquids and I think the rampant prevalence of the Chinese market and it's liquid volatility this last year has really saturated domainers minds to forget there are other markets out there, some of them still developing slowly.

Look at some of the long term players here that use to turn 2-3 word .coms - or grabbed them at drop for hundreds and turned them for hundreds more - and how their now regging 300 5L chips and 5N .info.....etc. For newbies old and new this is a great time to grab some decent domains because the big money is paying attention to the Chinese market and the quick money in it. Sure, not float your whole bankroll on odd extensions - but my example was to show that I have reaped profit, and have some decent domains remaining to be less liberal with on resale.

Obviously lunacy still happens in new gtlds (and old). The other day while looking at a Flippa auction I saw a portfolio of 190 .science domains - that closed at $10. It wasn't like they were domains made up of nuclear.science or even microbial.science, they were ttttt.science, 666666.science, asem.science....etc. It almost makes you feel bad when you tally up the cost of 190 likely worthless domains.

I registered pour.one because it - no pun - flowed. It didn't seem centric to a single industry, I thought it could appeal to corporate marketing or a startup or a niche storefront, and it cost $10.99 upfront, and will cost $10.99 to renew. Will it sell? I don't know - I really need to learn the art of landing pages and outreach - maybe it will, maybe it won't, regardless..... I like my odds with it better than letshaveabeertogether.com

I say take carefully calculated, modestly invested, well chosen chances on some new gtlds. Hell, whats $50-60 bucks eh?

Thanks for this advice!

Just to inform you that I sold uuu(.)one, the buyer contacted me first on august 2015, I rejected all his offers, last week he contacted me again with some decent offers, and yesterday I received his best offer, I accepted, for the price All I can say know is > $1000. And I'm happy with this sale
It seems he will developp a website not a domainer.

Congrats, I saw the sale reported on namebio for 2,350 USD

@Kostas Exactly, thank you

What constitutes a great domain is really in the eye of the beholder. Personally, I love the .one extension. I've invested in several just because just about anything dot one sounds great to say, looks great in the url bar, and no matter which way you look at it, having the word "one" in your business name, website name, email, or company name absolutely just flows. If you think you've found a good name for investing in, just go for it! Chances are, if you like it, someone else will too.

I was the original profit.one owner. When I received the offer for $2500, I was slightly hesitant because I had barely owned the domain for 2 months, and had really wanted to showcase it some more. But the offer was enough on the mark to convince me to let it go.

Only time will tell where the new extensions will take us, however I do hope the general public catches on to them. Anytime I'm out and about, I'm constantly advocating the awesomeness of the new dots to business owners. It's amazing how completely unaware people are about the new TLD's. But it shouldn't be surprising, seeing as it took 10+ years for regular folk to even understand what dot com was all about.

Some of my other .one domains in my collection:

intercom.one
dividend.one
gig.one
protocol.one
netizen.one
button.one
sniper.one

I do not care about traffic, SEO, statistics, etc in a name because I just plain love a good, sensible name. I find the new extensions exciting, and love the unknown potential!
