.us .US - The OFFICIAL Discussion, Showcase and Sales Report Thread

[slaughterbeck]

It appears the domain industry has been starting to take notice of the .us namespace over the past year, read DnJournal.com .us growth and Namepros with even greater expectations for the year to come.

So I thought it would be a good idea to ask everyone to show us your .us domain names. You can post your favorites or your entire portfolio.

@domainica - it's not some guy in germany, it's just a german registrar. Laptops, Adoption and Fish are all in private auction via a backorder service similar to snapnames.

Grats Brad, recycling was a great one and you had to fight off a lot of competition!

JB Lions - you pay $0 to backorder at snapnames unless they catch the name. If they catch it and you are the only one who backordered, you pay $69 and get 1 year of registration. It's dropped into your moniker account. If multiple people had it backordered, then it goes to a 3 day auction where only those that backordered participate in the private auction. If you don't win the auction, you pay $0. If you win, you just pay the winning price. Other services like domainmonster offer "exclusive" backorders where it's first come first serve and only the first person to backorder the name will win (no auction) if domainmonster grabs it.

Pool, GoDaddy, etc. offer .US backorders and each has a similar if slightly different process.

Thanks for the explanation. Have tried just a few in the past with Snapnames, but don't think they caught the ones I had picked. Will try some more of this in the future.

Are you sure? Used to be that these would all go into a public auction at GoDaddy.

This is not with GoDaddy.

Yes, I'm sure they are in private auction. I'm in two of them (and unfortunately not in the third! ).

I see they moved to PremiumSale.com with private auction. This is a positive move for them and makes them a more compelling back-order choice.

I guess I should shhhh.. lol

It's too late, I think, found their Twitter. So hex basically kicked Snapnames butt, if I'm reading between all the lines correctly. I reckon so, it's right in the whois.

Still a few good domains coming up, but it looks as though the best rush names have gone through the drop process and have been auctioned already.

James went for $1,055; I knew that one would not go cheap. Sol went for $430. Rebate for $830. ISO for $281.

Children.us went for about $2K.

Keith and defaultuser:

LOL!

Must be a gender thing.

Also, "Ranges" as stoves were the first entries on Google, accompanied by a bunch of ads.

A Gazillion links to ovens! I've never even called them a range ever. Must be a cultural thing and not a male / female thing because I know who uses the over the most in my house!

We have Hobs

Which reminds me of Calvin - even when incorrectly spelt.

Anyone know how 1api.net is getting away with nexus? Their recent .us grabs are all very high profile keywords...

Their nexus category is "C31/DE"

1api is a registar/dropcatcher.
It's the registrant that must satisfy nexus, not the registrar.

When 1api is acting in the capacity of a dropcatcher, then they are the registrant, in addition to being a registrar, thus subject to Nexus.

Customer Relationship Management. It's the number one product that is being marketed for outsourcing/cloud driving imho.

Heard of Salesforce? They're a "web CRM".

It's a great generic name.
