.tv Texas.tv is back in the list at Enom

[ipodxpert]

Texas.tv is back in the list at Enom. It was registered at Name.com and currently it shows Name.com LLC On Hold.

Looks like most of the names registered during LANDRUSH through Name.com and Dynadot.com are coming back into the list.

Good for people who missed the boat last night. They can re-register it.

It is currently priced at $3630.

^ Thanks for the clarification (seems like a Geo domain name RIPE for development)! :gl:



It's good to hear that there may be others interested in the domain name ... I'm unsure, though, how we've come to valuing ".TV's" (particularly in the case of the Landrush domains) based on their former Premium Reg. fee / renewal fees, however. :blink: :imho:
All the best,

Hi Jeff,

It is actually quite simple. When eNom charged X for year 1 and X for every year after that, it wasn't feasible to pay the price of X to own the name. Now that Verisign has eliminated the Premium Pricing Annual Renewal, the price is some discount of X for year 1 and only ~$20 every year after that. Thus, the total cost of owning such a domain name has been slashed. A geo name is worth a considerable amount of money once developed with traffic and properly monetized. The developers that are first to market with a successful destination site for residents, tourists, or both will clean up.

That doesn't sound so simple (particularly in light of the existing "Premium renewal" .TV domains) ... and especially to the desired End users / Developers, IMHO. :red:

I agree that, this time, we NEED to have actual End users / developers actually developing and promoting .TV's; this has to be the priority this time around IMHO.

The extension will not survive another 5 - 10 years of bartering and exchanging between Usual Suspect© domainers! :imho:

Thanks again,
Jeff
