question .photography domains

[DavidLSander]

worth investing in ? I've found a few excellent names available will these be good long term investments ?

Please discuss is there a resale
Market for these ?

 

[kite26]

In my opinion this is like .technology
Other extensions do the same job like .pic and with much less length.
So, useless.

 

[DavidLSander]

Okay thanks

 

[DavidLSander]

Are there any domain extensions worth investing in ?

 

[kite26]

It depends about the situation. Say you have found a possible end-user on UK. Then, a relative to the product .co.uk domain name, maybe do the job and allow you to sell it. Even if it's a little brandable. You must have:

1. The right keyword
2. In the right extension
3. For the right buyer
4. In the right time
5. In the right price
6. Luck
7. Patience

Stay away from these new gtld's, most companies don't even know they exist.

If you can get some that makes prefect sense like Wedding.Photography, it might worth the risk but most of those are reserved by the registry or registered as a premium for ridiculous prices when the extension was launched

There are silly long dot com's for sale now. As many have spread out investments
over new extensions the length of an acceptable dot com is now shortened I am the biggest supporter of dot com. I also think there are only half a dozen good keywords for every gTLD extension. The concern with gTLDs is actually you hope enough people buy crappy names for every dot extension so it actually stays active. It would suck to own wedding.photography and only have couple of hundred names registered so the extension fails and having the extension itself collapse eating up time programming and of course domain itself for now there are some bigger risks but some gains to be easily identified. Right now the best of each gTLDs are like gold nuggets on the ground. It may to be hard to buy anything in dot com TLD or gTLD in 10 years you want or like at rego fee. Expired premium anything rarely goes back to a $10 rego today. Domaining will only get more difficult from now.

Rego fee no sales have been made pioneer the first sale make history.
You could ask for some large money but dot net org should be acquired or you high price premium will just look high priced. You can't put a price on an extension alone as zdxzvzdjfbnobgibjiogbjigbpogkogppkgkg.com is worth less than rego fee even though a dot com.
You need to justify to seller your price.

Try and buy a premium keyword in the new gtlds...You cant unless its a ridiculous price..then youll struggle to sell because you have to sell for a fortune to make any profit...companies won't pay big $$ for them when they can buy a .com for that price.

This has happened with all new extensions over the years...history keeps repeating itself

The following, competing TLDs are delegated:

• PHOTO
• PHOTOS
• PICTURES
• PICS

+ more to come in the future...
A .photography is unlikely to sell on its own merits, even if those alternatives didn't exist.

and .gallery

I don't have a lot of faith in enough registrations to keep the extension afloat.

Adult.photography is registered and developed, its not available to purchase. What I am saying is try go and out and buy a premium keyword in any of the decent gtlds, you cant get them for reasonable prices, most are reserved by the registry or already registered and for sale at crazy prices.

Most of these extensions are domainer extensions, most companies are not aware they exist and it wont change

I can find about 9 recorded sales in total on all the sales sites since back in 2014, then check those domains, all parked and for sale, that must tell you something

 

[domqo]

I learned that in forum- Right keyword in domain name=good domain. Its for all gTLD.

 

[arjun29]

.selfie might come someday aswell..

If you find the right term at the right price, then yes, it's worth investing in.

.photography is owned by donuts and they have released almost all keywords in their extensions. They have reserved only a small amount of good domains (5-10 per extension).

Right now, most great .photography domains are taken, unless something drops it is unlikely that you'll manage to get an exceptional domain, but some good domains are still available. For example, if you check namebio.com for (keyword)photography.com sales you'll see that there some are still available in the form of (keyword).photography (although I'm not recommending to go register all these for various reasons).

Regarding high renewals that was mentioned above, this is not always true. Donuts owned extensions(about 200) gave investors and end-users the opportunity to get good names with very reasonable renewal prices. Some people only look at highly marketed extensions like .xyz, .top, .shop, .store, .tech and more that have priced many of their names extremely high and then draw conclusions regarding all new gtlds. Since we're talking about .photography, personally I have registered 3 domains that all have reasonable renewals(aerial, car - low $xx and 3d - high $xx). Bottom line is that there are good opportunities in some extensions if you search for them but be careful what you register. Lack of marketing and lack of public awareness means that even great left.right combinations will have a hard time selling at this time.

Good for you, but did you read the title of the thread?

 

[DavidLSander]

yes i started the thread which seems to have mutated into other domains, agreed off topic.

 

[gilescoley]

@lock

and when did you purchase the domain?

The OP is asking the question "Are they worth investing in now?"

Try buy a premium word now, it's not easy or cheap.

Only a couple of months ago.
Last week I bought fastest dot bike at about $10 was easy as a click of the mouse.
Is anything without proven sales history worth investing in. Maybe not be This is business of speculation and if i make a decent sale i will be right if not i am wrong but am putting my money on a few. If your going to go for it now it is probably better than later.
