discuss .RS Showcase and discussion

[Edward Smeu]

Here we go!

The .RS extension stands for Serbia, Europe.

It is mostly being used for domain hacks (answe.rs being the highest sale at $20k from what I remember) but it also means life in chinese.

The lowest registration fee I found is at Plus.rs (no english site but works well with google translate) and it costs 1920 Dinar which is about $17 per registration. But there are other local sites (in English) which cost just above $20.

There are still a lot of available short domains, numbers and letters and from what I understood there is no restriction whatsoever for registering or transferring a domain (no wait time to tranfer, can be same day as regged).

Besides two domain hacks transfe(.)rs and tracto(.)rs I just registered a few short domains:

28(.)rs
38(.)rs
58(.)rs
68(.)rs
78(.)rs
98(.).rs
222(.)rs
678(.)rs
8888(.)rs

bj(.)rs
sz(.)rs
gz(.)rs

So what do you have?

Below the updated list of remaining LL.RS.
Not that many left. Probably the list will stop being valid in a few minutes.
Considering the rate they're going at we will probably have buyout soon...
I took what I needed. The rest is contribution to the community
Remember @Noe 's discount coupon:
namepros48 - valid for .rs reg. at istanco.com

It was the only one I had with Plus.
It went fine from my side - the buyer was from Serbia and he did most of the work. I only got a mail in English to confirm.
He also got the domain for cheap because he asked me nicely and I liked what he said he's planning to do with it.
Plus Serbia is a neighbor country with my country and I've always appreciated everybody there.
@Noe, don't be upset, CG is nice too.

For those .rs ccTLD investors interested in evaluations like these, you may find the following insightful:

Asset Type:
Dictionary-Word / Short (6-Letters or less)

Note: Unfortunately, the English word does not work with the fluent languages of the ccTLD's region. This can/will hurt indexing of the asset in the ccTLD region. It may even be devalued a little by English search algorithms for the ccTLD's regional language not matching before the dot. The mixed-matched combination isn't always a deal breaker though. Added marketing capital can correct the negative aspects.

Note: You can get over 100 more niche ideas from the acronym list. I like Reconnaissance and Surveillance the best, so far. A service dedicated just to Reconnaissance and Surveillance videos and playing the ccTLD into the the brand in a way that the regional definition no longer matters.

Unfortunately, there does not appear to be much demand in development. That or those investors aren't actively looking for anyone interested. For the .com to be free with hardly any lucrative monetization to compensate for the asset investment value and all the other legacy gTLDs being parked, it's a bad sign for ccTLD's, with an exception of a few.

The hard part is identifying the potential end-user, gathering more research on their specific niche, formulating a presentation, negotiating, and closing.

There is a tiny bit of reseller value due to it being a 6-letter or less dictionary-word, however, you will have to do a lot of leg-work to find the right buyer and apply the hard parts I mentioned above, which in most cases, investors fail at.

[Gobinath]

runne.rs
scanne.rs


yonke.rs
transforme.rs

 

[cocaseco]

Thanks, looks like it was June 2015.

This is what I found at one registrar:

The owner of a .RS domain can be anyone but the administration contact will need to be a Serbian individual or company if the owner has no connection to Serbia.

Non Serbian applicants can use our agency service to meet the administration contact restrictions.

Doesn't look like a lot of the major registrars carry .RS, and the ones that do it is around $100 fee. Some offer to provide a Serbian admin contact, which you need to have.

 

[ramkumaritrvs]

Non Serbian applicants can use our agency service to meet the administration contact restrictions.

Most of cctld work in the same way....

Registration company put as admin contact...

 

[hugegrowth]

If more registrars start offering .rs it should pick up for short and quality domains. Seem lots available in .rs right now for short and one word domains.

 

[hugegrowth]

... and who bought it?

 

[d-e-x]

Why there is a fee charge of owner change when you said PUSH us free?

Owner change = Transfer out of registrar?

Please clarify for everyone

Ok. I will explain
RNIDS charge (5eur - 7eur depends on reseller) that amount from them (resellers) and if we don't pay they will loose money. Simply as that. We pay to resellers and than, they pay to the RNIDS.

There is no classic account change/push but owner change works like account change. Same principe is here in Germany (Strato, UnitedDomains-de... ) All you need is so called - Letter of Consent. (see attachment)
No big deal really.

 

[hugegrowth]

I think you need to do a support ticket to get the domain pushed, but we'll see what @Noe says.

 

[Genius327]

Looks like QF is the last available Chip LL .rs

Aaand... it's gone. :D

 

[B&J]

Do check registra.rs when you research the reg/renew/transfer prices.

 

[UXela]

Just got PAY✶RS

 

[B&J]

Orbis does it for 19 euro, renewals included. More registrars can be found here: http://registra.rs/?cctld=rs

 

[CJ6]

Alright. I just picked up...
