The future of .COM after new gTLDs boom! Big DROP?!

[New.Life]

According to the data and this simple chart:

http://www.registrarstats.com/TLDDomainCounts.aspx

Is there a BIG drop? Coming soon?

 

[New.Life]

Investors have to pick over the leftovers.

Because other investors, domainers and end users have already registered all the best.

 

[garptrader]

Wouldn't it be great if the typical .Com portfolio were turning at 40 percent annually with median sales low five figures while the typical new tld portfolio were turning 25 percent annually with median sales around $1500.but at lower acquisition costs? Everyone would be making money and could retire after a few years of domaining.

The reality is the only domainer retirees are folks who had heavy .com portfolios and got into the space more than fifteen years ago. Most other domain investors are not lining well from merely selling domain names. Industry portfolio turn is too low, end users have too many alternatives and are generally not willing to pay premium prices for an internet presence.

Perhaps things might change in a decade but in 2016 domain names are NOT easy money.

 

[New.Life]

What will you do if you will own your extension? ...will you give out all domains for free?
And for all you will be paying out of your pocket?

Not all extensions are expensive and not all domains are reserved!

If you want to make good money, you have to work hard!

If you want an easy way to do this, there will be a lot of competitors, in this case, you can still lose.

So what?

I have one nice and short "one letter" domain, and I'll going to use it for one of my websites in the future. I would like to buy one or two more, but they are already registered by others.
Price of registration and renewal of these domains $880 each.

I could buy these domains for a sum up to $3000, but the sellers want more. These domains are not so important for me, so I still think about it and look for other ways to solve.

.COM Net Gain Last 2 weeks: - 620,000

Yep. Dropping like flies like all of the other crappy domains REGARDLESS OF EXTENSION
Happy Hunting

 

[New.Life]

A couple more days, and the first million of .COM will disappear!
This is much faster than I expected!

[garptrader]

received $500 and $1000 offers this week for .COM domains but as I look back at 2016....

.Net 0 sales even for nice keyword domains I have held for eight to nine years
.TV 1 small sale with a few lowball offers - horrible performance for a TLD which sounds a lot better than most of the new extensions; those $30 renewals sting but the lesson is don't waste money on all this new crap regardless of how it might turn out in a decade

 

[Igor Mironyuk]

With an appearance of more and more new TLDs, .com will become increasingly rare asset.

Small or medium offers for the sale of the domains of my best list I get few times every week, but I just delete them or send a high counter-offer, because these domains are NOT for sell.

And these domains I never offered for sale.

Therefore, potential buyers send me emails through WHOIS, or used GoDaddy "Domain Buy Service" which costs them $69,99 only to send the offer.

They're just wasting their money!

Last one, Today:

 

[New.Life]

Just imagine, if I put my best domains for sale anywhere, how many offers I will get!

 

[Ayodeji]

Sex.life is good but it is not as valuable as Auto.loan. All these new gtld has limited use. The left side must be compatible with the right side for them to make sense.

.com will be king for a long time.

.com will be king for a long time.

Sex.Life and Auto.loan are completely different categories, and completely different parts of our life.
Why should they mix and match. The owner of Auto.loan domain bought it for big money - $45,000

"Sex.Video" can also be better than Sex.Life, if someone want exactly this type of website, but it is offered for sale for $1,000,000

I bought Sex.Life at day 3 of EAP and it cost me just $1300 with $108 renewal fee.

Sex.Live was sold just few months ago for $160,000 with $2,900 (!) renewal, every year.

And I'm end user for the domain Sex.Life, and I don't care how much other domains cost, and for what purposes they are used.

"Sex.video" it's just "sex video", "sex.chat" it's just "sex chat", Sex Life is all that relates to sex, NOT only porno.

Why are you trying to convince it's worth then if you are the end user

Who knows if these are even real offers? It wouldn't be the first time people submit offers on their domains to make them seem more valuable. Also the whole they are not for sale thing is BS. You are listing them for sale. Usually people do this hoping they will get a better price.

sex.life isn't that great. The reasoning sex=huge keyword, life=most relevant extension does not make sense. Valuations don't work that way. Sex.life = Sexlife which isn't the strongest combo. Auto.Loan is many times better.

And I'm end user for the domain Sex.Life, and I don't care how much other domains cost, and for what purposes they are used

The domain has 1 backlink, from onlinedomain.com where you promoted your domains in the comments. Does not seem like there is much development and promotion going on.

Why are you trying to convince it's worth then if you are the end user

Maybe he is looking for a sucker to unload.

 

[Ayodeji]

@New.Life, you definitely have a good name in sex.life and it can be used for sexual health and other stuffs like that and doesn't go well with porn. We all know what premium sell on and off the net better and faster. Not concluding it cant sell more than sex.video or sex.live though. You may be lucky.

Just like auto/home/property fit perfectly with loan, sex/porno fit also with video/live/chat. There will surely be use for sex.life. Goodluck.

Perhaps you should leave the stats work to those who do it. Today .COM is down just over a million (1,060,445) since the 01 December 2016. In terms of registations, the zone count is now back to May 2016 levels so the Chinese bubble drops have wiped out approximately six months of net growth.

It's as if you're trying to convince someone who says that either you have a bad car.
And what do you care if you are the end user of your car?!

I know that more than a million have already been removed, it is not big news to me. But in this topic there is data only from December 7th. And I started to watch this BIG DROP it only on December 4.
Therefore, this data I use for a reference point. Not December 1, or November 1... And here it does not matter how much it is, plus or minus 200 thousands, It does not matter all that much.

Because it's a BIG DROP.

In the same way you can say that it was necessary to conduct the count from 1 January.

 

[New.Life]

Who knows if these are even real offers?

Who cares if someone knows or not!

People are not that crazy to spend $ 70 for GD "Domain Buy Service", over and over again just to send the offers without plans to purchase the domain.

The domain has 1 backlink, from onlinedomain.com where you promoted your domains in the comments.

I have not even created my site for selling domains. If I'll do it it will be on my domain "domain.deals" if I need my small hosting company it will be "hosting.house" and so on...

I showed my domains the same way as people show their collection of auto.

Maybe he is looking for a sucker to unload.

I don't need extra money. I have them! Life is too short to make money all the time. I'm not addicted to it!

 

[Bram C.]

Because it's a BIG DROP.

Ok so .com lost 0.79% of it's total registrations (1 million drops out of originally 127 million registered .com domains is 0.79%). You could compare this to a new gTLD with 10,000 total registrations and which recently lost 79 of those lol. Suddenly "big drop" gets a different meaning doesn't it?

What's important though (and what you selectively ignored each time someone mentioned it) is that the drop is there for a reason and the reason is not the new gTLDs. It's the after-effect of the Chinese craze. So who cares .com and tons of other TLDs are dropping domains right now. It was to be expected and many people predicted it. Crappy domains are dropping right now and will continue to drop for a few more months. Once the drops from the Chinese bubble are gone .com registrations will go up again. So do feel free to continue to post these meaningless daily .com drops as long as you still can.

Btw, since the drop is not related to new gTLDs your header is misleading to say the least ("the future of .com after new gTLDs" should read "the future of .com after the Chinese craze"). But then again I'm sure the clickbait was intentional.

Happy holidays!

For what price do you sell your new gTLDs?!

And again "selectively ignoring" and "changing subject" tactics.

 

[New.Life]

And again "selectively ignoring" and "changing subject" tactics.

Why do I have to talk again and again about it, and spend my time for nothing!
I know that .COM will lose millions domains. BIG DROP

New and good new gTLDs are growing, and that's all that I need!
