.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.

I just got populist / .us

picked up qoffee.us I love it! probly personal use.

 

[Jens P. Jensen]

I'll show you mine if you show me yours

I don't have one but I would still like to see yours :hehe:

Funny that .us hasn't opened up yet, most ccTLD's have – even Sweden (.se). DENIC (.de) says: Every time .de shows up in the address window it draws attention to "Made in Germany". ISNIC (.is) has always been open to foreign registration .

Hey everyone. I totally forgot, but I have about 50 cannabis-related .us domains that I registered last year. I have not been following the .us trend, so I really don't have a clue if they would sell. If anyone has any experience in this, please PM me and I'll send you my list. I'm not trying to get a sale out of you... just trying to see if they might be worth a few bucks. Here are a few... CannabisGuru, PotGuru, NYCCannabis, CampMarijuana, LAWeed, etc. I really don't know if any are worth anything or not. Thanks

personally , I think cannabis domains are up in smoke ( pun intended ) . I've never invested in them & cant see any reason to start . maybe a secondary market among domainers at the moment . possibly one day cannabis domains will be like striking gold , but their not for me , much like adult related domains , don't want to be involved in either , but who knows I could change my mind if the right cannabis domain came along & presented itself & I knew that medical marijuana was truly helpful to people & that medical marijuana was legit & not just some scam for people to make money & others who don't have a medical problem & just got a medical marijuana card so they can get high legally ( cause we all know that some doctors are selling ) medical marijuana cards for a small fee . anytime money is involved ( alot of money ) people will find a way to skirt the law & rake in the green .

Premium General Availability “Tiered Pricing” Program

ICA is strongly opposed to this portion of the proposal, which would reclassify approximately 100,000 currently authorized .US domains as “premium” within the following categories:

• All three letter domain names (17,576) and all three number domains (1,000), excluding names on the restricted list (i.e. 888.us, 877.us, 866.us, etc.)
• All nouns under eight letters, excluding names with negative connotations or on the “7 Dirty Words” restricted list
• All verbs under eight letters, excluding names with negative connotations or on the “7 Dirty Words” restricted list
• Top 10,000 words in the English language, excluding names with negative connotations or on the “7 Dirty Words” restricted list (price varies)

We take this position notwithstanding the fact that, now that Neustar has identified the categories of domains it would reclassify as premium, sophisticated domain investors could readily seek to acquire both presently registered as well as unregistered .US domains within these categories in anticipation of implementation of the plan and a potential increase in secondary market value. We also recognize that the proposed high/low pricing model is less objectionable than domain reclassification programs we have seen proposed in the past, given that it would not affect current registrants or their renewal or transfer costs; that currently registered domain names identified as premium will incur a premium fee only if they expire, go through the redemption process and become available for re-registration again by new or different customers; and that the premium pricing would typically be a one-time event with annual renewal fees being the same as for non-premium domains.

Heyo,

Thanks to Jeremiah Johnston and and Phil Corwin for their continuing efforts on behalf of long-suffering .US domain holders.

Those that have been supporters since April 2002 know full-well how ineffective Neustar has been at actively promoting the space. Here's hoping that the current efforts finally move the needle so that .US enthusiasts can finally profit (hey, how about just recovering recover reg fees?) from this round of promises.

Hello Scott, What do you mean by the following? (hey, how about just recovering recover reg fees?)

If you have been there since April 2002, hold premium domains with literally no aftermarket sales, due in large part to Neustar's inadequate promotional efforts, you'll know what I mean.

Selling a few .US domains along the way would help in this endeavor.

I agree, if they price premiums fairly xxxx minimum.

In all fairness, it seems to me that their are 2 sides to the coin. Firstly Ica does a wonderful job of protecting domainers rights. But by asking for no premium pricing shows me they are biased in a way towards the domainers/opportunists that benefit from the drops as opposed to those that currently own domain names in .us.

No easy answer. I have single, keyword domains that I would love to see premium priced. Regardless of what Neustar does, the market will decide pricing.
