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?

Looks like registrar cost per .rs is $12. So before discount the margin is above 115%, after discount it is over 50%.

Quite high, unfortunately.

Yes, VAT is often paid in advance, but there is also normally process for vat refunds based on your tax filing and supporting docs.

FYI, not everyone (like us) going to filing for refund VAT tax from domain .. so it's an issue if there is charge for every single step of .rs (VAT, change TXT record, etc...)

From my checks Istanco has one of the cheapest reg fees for .rs
Even with Vat added on.

Check out .rs price at Eurodns for instance, much higher. Higher pretty much everywhere else too.

I've bought six .rs at Istanco and so far has been a good process.

Not us, the registrar should not charge foreign clients for it and ask for refund.

nah.. someone alreasdy posted a place where u can get 16$ or so.. regular price... its just that you need translator for it

I like instanco too

nice clean interface.. I am hearing horror stories about pushing transfer or doing just about everything else when selling a domain.. but.. we're not selling yet so who knows.. let's see how it goes when someone makes sale.. a $200 10-15 domain NN and LL investment is not so bad for a year.

 

[hugegrowth]

I will pay a little extra to use a site in a language I understand.

 

[alcy]

let's hope there is some sale potential. these cctld can be tricky sometimes.

it's all good when it's A LITTLE EXTRA
and I'm like you on it

but at instaco, without coupon, it suddenly becomes more than a little extra

cheers

@Noe Where on IStanCO can you push the domains to another account or transfer to a different registrar? I can't seem to find it.

Thanks in advance

 

[hugegrowth]

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

 

[hugegrowth]

Looks like QF is the last available Chip LL .rs

Very weird that there is no buyout yet.
@Noe - perhaps you can help our fellow forum members with a cupon or something

 

[Noe]

[Elenka]

Seems like all 2l . rs are gone

@Elenka - there are 24 left.
@Noe posted them a few posts back and he even listened to me and offered a nice discount
Grab 'em while you can.
