Value of Domain Hacks

[xman]

Here's my question..what is the value of domain hack? I've seen some good domain hack and i was wondering about the value of it. I myself own one and i'm not sure whether or not i should get more. I haven't seen any sale of domain hack. Why do we register domain hack? Is it because the domain looks cool or because there's a potential end user who's willing to buy such domain?

101domain offers .ge registration at $79/yr.
As far as I know they have restrictions, you'd better read their rules before regging domains.

Good luck

Thx but I don't touch that site. I know about the restrictions, that can be avoided with a trustee. Still it costs a lot to register a .ge domain but if someone knows more I'd appreciate it.

What you guys think of this lot?

Honestly, I think they are really bad names. 2 word hacks don't work well & those are not strong terms at all.

I have some 2 word domain hack I've registered today. Domain is namesto.re. So what are you think about this domain?

 

[DnEbook]

i have worldne.ws it works fine as a two word site

Just bought namesto.re & sublim.it.

Could you send some reviews? Thanks

I agree with you.

The .Net extension is strong and credible. Also, .Nets can be transferred to almost any registrar, and carries a very low renewal rate.

This is quite the opposite for unknown cctlds which tend to be very expensive to renew, carry restrictions, and cannot be transferred to any registrar.

Though, single word .Net hacks are not available, it is quite understandable why this is the case. They may not be available to purchase, some are being used by end-users and sometimes not as hacks.

Personally, .Net was my focus for all my hacks.

e.g. SaveThePlanet (taken in many extensions)

I prefer .Net hacks, just because of it's low cost to renew and it's reputable status... this is not the same with other unknown extensions used for domain hacks.

Thanks for this post. There is a small village near where I live called Mount Garnet.
So I mananaged to hand reg

Mountgar.net
MtGar.net


I m happy with that.

I would make the same comments as the above post for the other 2 word hacks. These are not good names. 2 word hacks don't work well & those are not strong terms at all.

Besides the fact that 2 words hacks are bad because those contain 2 words, the main reason I am avoiding even the premium ones is because of the 2nd word's potential for subdomains. If that happens then my domain loses huge value.

Ex. You have NameSto.re. Sto.re is for sale at 150k (lol) and it takes only another dot : name.sto.re to ruin yours ( comes and goes around though).

Another example is that I have UsedCars and RentalCars but I only regged those because Ca.rs is not available until 2016 (registry) and no one can do that to my pretty worthless (higher than reg fee names).


By the way, i just regged Parkers and Lockers from a list of available .rs hacks I have, these two I liked best. If anyone is interested, I can post the list.

On a side note, why is this topic in ccTLDs? Even though domain name hacks use ccTLDs they don't fit in this category, it should have remained in general.

US guys: available is cloudantivir.us

Not very good, too long for a hack. But I read a lot about cloud anti virus recently. And the domain name without "us" means something though.

Would take it myself, but am not US citizen.
