domain Please appraise business tiger (co.uk)

[MrsBiscuit]

Hi, I have several domains which I'd like to sell. What do you think of these two?

businesstiger.co.uk
businesstigers.co.uk

Both registered in January 2008. Both undeveloped and parked.

Thanks in advance.

BusinessTiger.com was taken by a British firm a month ago, so I can't really say how valuable those domains are. Offhand, if you don't develop them, probably reg at best. They are only good in Britain in any case.

Hi Rantwire

Thanks for your help!

I saw that BusinessTiger.com was up for sale at quite a high price and didn't want to compete in the action or possible drop catch. I'm not experienced enough in the market for that. But I thought I'd try to get a piece of the action by looking at other extensions and the co.uk was available.

I used to only buy .coms. But for British based businesses, I'm finding that co.uks are pretty good. On two of my best sites I only own the co.uk and not the .com, and on another one I have both co.uk and .com, but only use the .com to redirect to the co.uk.

In some ways I think that co.uks are better for a British business - it gives a clear message that it's British.
