.online .online nGTLD

What are your thoughts on .online domains?
It's very generic and not as ugly as .xyz for example, so that's a plus - but perhaps a little too long to have any success...
Plus most good names are either unavailable or premium...

I think you accidentally backspaced your whole reply before hitting Post Reply.

No. He just followed your advice to keep it short. And it shows that it doesnt work......

There is a case for .online, because the keyword 'online' is very often used in domain registrations. It must be the reason why somebody applied for it.
That alone is not a guarantee of success of course. But it has more appeal than .hiv for example.

However, it still remains an artificial filler keyword. When you go to a site, obviously it's online so it's kinda redundant. When you think about it, google.online hardly makes more sense than google.domain or google.website. It has a bit of brandability though.

Renewals on average cost $30 / year. At least with an .IO it is catchy for tech start-ups, so $30 ain't too big of a deal.

So $30 for renewals of .io is ok but $30 for .online is not? Not following that logic. .IO is catchy for tech start ups but what other domains work with it?

$30 is too high for any extension though!

.online makes sense if it is something that you would be doing online like PayBills.online, FindPeople.online,
SellStuff.online, Quotes.online etc etc

If the domain and activity goes with "Online", then it has appeal, sounds and looks good, will be sought after, and therefore have some value.

Now reg'n PullingTeeth.online is just painful to look at and can't be done "online".

At least .online isn't as useless and bad looking as .xyz. Now that is a bad extension, I don't care how many registrations it has. You guys can't seriously think there is more than 5 domains that work with that. I don't care if google owns one or 1000 of them.

Out of all the junk that ICANN has let come out, .online is one of better, if not best, extensions.

It's not too long. Look at how much crap we write on this forum! Oh we couldn't possible type in 3 more letters or finger cramps or even death could result. I would rather type a few more letters than have an extension that just makes no sense or is confusing like some of the shorter ones.

Alot of people don't know what some of these extensions mean. .IO sounds like "I owe"! .gdn sounds and looks like "God D-mn" or is it short for "google domain name"? There is a .Nom.es! NOMES wtf!
Let's not forget the .xn--6frz82g. Now tell me there is anybody out there that uses that. Maybe one in 10million or less. I don't know what it means, don't care, and the general public doesn't either as far as I know. Most people don't even know there is anything other than a couple main extensions.

After .com I would put .online before .net, .org, and .info as far as having relevant keywords that could be used with it.
That's just me though.

Where do you guys see .online being placed after .com?

 

[artstar]

how many of you type a domains url or search and click the sites link?

once u r at the site u may bookmark it so no need to research for it or typein the domain

so with that said imo right of the dot isn't as important as people think but owning the com as a business is always critical due to leakage .

its a situation where dot com is necessary but owning others tlds is a requirement now ue to huge growth in surfers and if I own a decent gtld and not the com im at least in the game

tons of junk in all tlds will always be regged and dropped

 

[brindle123]

I've got a ton of bookmarks and sometimes it's faster to just type it into the search box rather than look for the bookmark.
The search box doesn't give me the extension either.

I agree that it's good to have the .com in almost all cases, but a brand can be built around the extension if they(domain+extension) work good enough together.

1-com
2-net
3-org
4-online
5-cc

I really like online, I think it fits EMDs in my niche perfectly. i.e. billofsale/online

 

[stimpi777]

about.cloud is $62,500 on Name.

I regd allabout.cloud for $19.99. Must be value there somewhere!

Thats very promising. Cloud domains have there strong place in the future and now.

gnuplatform.cloud
decentralized.cloud
guv.cloud
multicloud.cloud
pbs.cloud
personalvpn.cloud
publicvpn.cloud
intercloud.club
highroll.club
cutting-edge.club

So many sites use .online keyword in domain names, so makes sense if they get corresponding .ONLINE domain.

 

[Nsmith91]

Earnyourdegree.online is shorter and much better than earnyourdegreeonline.com IMO.

.com will always be King, however there is plenty of potential for development in .online. I have just enough invested to earn a nice return if the ext takes off, but also an exit plan if the gtld doesn't make it.
Like what's already been mentioned and holds true for most ext. good keywords, category killers, and shorts will always have some value.

*I would like to see the reg fees come down some.

 

[brindle123]

Earnyourdegree.online

EarnYourDegree.online makes perfect sense and is a pretty darn good domain that works great with the extension.

EarnYourDegree.top .xyz .club .site .website .net .org .info couldn't work. Only .com would work with it, with or without the "online" added.

I could see that being built into a great site. You got a good one if that's yours!

Slightly disagree with you on .ONLINE not having any meaning. IMO to many plural product keywords and service keywords it does add a meaning of this and that being sold exclusively online, or this and that service being an online service only.

Take for example:

trees.online

Things that you would probably buy offline. Are now being sold online.

If any new gtld should be adopted by the general public, it's .ONLINE. It just deserves to be a top level domain. Also, when capitalized, it looks great.

I thought it was going to go a bit higher..lol thanks buddy! :D

I would've paid more for it.
Develop it into a stat site, lots of potential.

Yeah I wish other extensions were developed but ah well..I still like the name!

Just voted today!!!!!

Also grabbed

CastYourVote.online

Doesn't have to be used for presidential voting either.

 

[brindle123]

ForexExchange.online was available so I snagged that one too!

seems like it could be usable.

Single word .online sales are only mentioned in the public available aftermarket sales.
Hope we'll hear 2 word .online sales soon.

Recently picked up AspenColorado.ONLINE

A little long, however Aspencolorado.com recently sold for $16751 @Flippa.

Definitely a top vacation spot in the U.S.
Seems AspenColorado.online could be developed for a travel agency, real estate firm, etc.
