Hello,

If you are representing .top you should request free badge here to verify you're official - https://www.namepros.com/threads/verified-company-representative-badges.860810/

.top seems popular especially in Asia, what is the best way to advertise .top domain for sale or trade to asian audience from outside, maybe Alibaba?

I own one .top domain.
CasinoOnline .top

Yes. I am from .Top registry and I will apply for the free badge.

The .TOP seems to be a China dominated market. There is development and usage in the TLD (the surveys I run measure web usage and development in TLDs) but there does seem to be a high turnover on domain names with many registrations not renewing. It has a long way to go to becoming a global gTLD. How will .TOP registry promote the gTLD outside the Chinese market?

Many here are looking for where to locate potential buyers. You have to work on identifying such place with example of sales.

I own a few gtlds

But I don't own a dot top

But I don't I ever will as there are plenty of
Gtlds I'd look for first and in 5 years buying gtlds I have never even thought of dot top as I prefer a few other ones

Without GoDaddy - I don't see any significant perspectives for .TOP aftermarket.

Look at .top sales - Then you might change your mind .

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

My mind depends on my own investments... into mid xxx .TOP domains for the past 4+ years...
1 was sold for $850 and that's all.

Just more spam and creating a thread to do it doesn't make you good at it just persistent tbh spam is all poorly represented.

Really???

2 of my .TOP domains were blocked without any notifications and reasons.
Recently 1 at Moniker and another 1 in the past at AlpNames.
They were just parked "For Sale" (at ParkingCrew/Bodis and Sedo) and traffic on them was ~0.

.top might have gained some value
but they way it is today

it has no good reputation in the western world

I had about 400 .top
when they released
all top keywords

I'm left with a handful now


the incredibly bad support
while alpnames crashed

made me no longer want to have these

Hey, Alpname has been on bankrupt since the beginning of this year. If your domain has been locked with Moniker, you might have some abuse infringement issues. If you have any concerns, you should contact the e-mail address below: [email protected].

What abuse???
The domain was registered and just parked @ParkingCrew and that's all... I parked and forgot about it.
And traffic on it was just few visitors monthly!

Additionally I have checked this domain at https://www.spamhaus.org/lookup/
And it is NOT blacklisted!

NON-Adult domain.
Just generic term, from Jewelry niche.

Spamhaus only deals with e-mail spam so as it is a parked domain name, it is unlikely to ever feature in Spamhaus. Blocking without any notification is odd but some registries and registars can do this where there's problem content or a domain name is being abused for malware, phishing or bot controller activity. It is odd though. Did the DNS data on the domain names change shortly before they were blocked? It could have been something as simple as a typo error on the registrar or registry side that led to their blocking.

It was parked almost ~1.5 years, were no problems.
But in July they suddenly decided to block it... without any reasons and any notification.

Was it a registrar block or a registry block?

These are the EPP codes and statuses:

Blocked by Moniker (clientHold).
And Moniker replied that Registry asked them to block it.
