opinion .TO Discussion/Advice

[serps]

I recently picked up pi.to on park.io and I'm wondering about sales trends of .to domains. Are they popular at all?
"pi" Gets around 1.5 Million monthly google searches so that's why I picked it up. What are your opinions on this?

Isn't the demand for the commodity something to determine before you buy it? Assuming you paid a premium for the domain.

I really dig .to. Many companies and individuals use them as vanity URLs on social media. Bernie Sanders for instance was using bernie.to while he was running for president. Amazon.to. Huff.to. etc etc. I think that style of use builds credibility and we'll see more end users. TO makes sense to users in any English speaking country. There is also value for words that make sense hacked with .to.

Yeah it was sort of an imulse buy...

 

[Jon B]

Granted it was a $99 back order it should work out in your favor. Impulse buys are not necessarily bad.

I'm hoping for $500+ mainly due to the keyword statistics. What do you think?

 

[Branded Domains]

Some people use it as Toronto like Dine.to or Tokyo like Mobile.to...

Recent sales look promissing.

The real question is: should you sell your domain now in the xxx to xxxx range or wait a few years.

If ul.to can sell for 7 grand pi.to ought to sell for at least 1k.

If ul.to can sell for 7 grand pi.to ought to sell for at least 1k.

May be more for enduser...
Also it doesn't mean if A sales for 7fig price ,B will also sale for 7fig price.

I know that, but logically if a sale of a decent name sells for 7fig then one of equal if not better quality should in theory sell for 7fig. I also understand there are a lot of other variables to consider like if it was someone's golden domain etc

 

[redesignunit]

pi also called to pixel and this domain can also usable for video production.

 

[DomainMagnate]

does anyone know what's the deal with .to whois data? It seems there is no way to see anything about the owner or date of registration for any .to domain..?
