Virtual Reality Domains (VR)

[mrcurly]

Im betting big bucks on VR domains have a great future and with the big boys buying up VR companies, mainstream is a stones throw away.....

Lots of VR+keyword.com taken years ago and I noticed this sale a week or so back -

VRTechnology.com $3688

This was a steel and I can soon see everything from VRPoker / VRCasinos / VRShopping / VRBrowsing / VRTours / VRWorlds / etc etc....having a high price tag even now at the start of VR hitting mainstream...

I have just paid $x,xxx for a name but will not be showcasing as the domain is in escrow at present....

Feel free to showcase your VR domains If you like...

Cheers

Why are people buying VR LLLL domains that are seemingly random?

Correct me if I am wrong but isn't there a more or less endless number of letter combinations?

How can this be lucrative? To me it seems like buying lottery tickets.

456,976
EDIT: I would think that at least 40k of those are in active use.

Many folks are working together to buy them. Mostly from China.
I had a post about 2 months ago on the 3L.com's and .org's and one on page 370 about the LLLL.com's.
It's called 'cornering the market' and it does work if you can collect them quietly over time. I do wonder if they are working in teams or against each other. Either way, all who are playing the game benefit.
If you don't see how lucrative it can be now, just wait 2/3 years when you probably will not be able to get a 4L .com for less than 3k.
The average now is about 650.
Most of my 4 char names have "3D" in them (about 20) and numbers seem to be a no-no to them but I disagree with that in this instance. Especially after VR gets kicked off. If you were to do a search today, I doubt if you can find more than one 3Dxx or xx3D .coms as I thought I had cleaned any hand reg up a few years ago. Could have been some drops since that time.
And I encourage anyone to take on
VRxx or xxVR .coms
Probably the best investment you may make under 800 right now if you can find them. It does require making offers. Good chance those overseas buyers will have them soon enough. If I had a major sale this year, that is what I would be buying with the profits.

I can understand that a general broad LLLL or LLL are valuable. But to me VRLL or LLVR seems pretty specific. Sure, there might be thousands of companies doing VR soon. But that doesnt mean that even a majority of them are looking for a VRLL or LLVR name. And even if tvey are looking for that the chances that a single domainer will have the exact match are slim as there must be millions of possible combinations (I havent done the math). I just dont understand how a random VRLL can be worth hundreds of dollars at this moment.

Edit: saw that you had done the math now. So hundreds of thousands possible combinations.

Do the math !
EDIT: If I had the money, I would join them.
EDIT: 676 combos of VRxx and 676 combos of xxVR

 

[pjlloyd100]

If we're only talking about characters for VRxx/xxVR, the math is 26 * 26 + 26 * 26 = 1352. Including numbers I think it's 36 * 36 + 36 * 36 = 2592.

I got one of each because I thought it was worth the risk. meh

I am in agreement with VRDommy. Any LLLL.com has liquidity if you need to sell LLLL.com you will have no problems on-selling it.

It is also very easy to change the abbreviated meaning of the letters. Corporate companies also love the short names for marketing and also short email address.

If I have the option to own VRCloud.com or VRC.com the LLL.com would be hands down the easier decision for purchase.

If there was a choice between VRLiveGames.com or VRLG.com the LLLL.com would be the better choice and also much easier to on-sell.

Everyone has different opinions and it all comes down to what and end user is willing to pay. There no wrong answer just how much effort you are willing to put in to sell your VR domains.

Good to see more action recently on the VR blog

 

[techname]

Hey guys,
I'm thinking of building out a new VR Website for headsets! but I'm not sure which one I should use? Please help.
Thanks

VrVisers.com
VrVizors.com
VrAssemble.com
DashboardVR.com
VrLoL.com​

Quite like the second one, provided people can connect visors to headsets. But I guess it is just one of many words that might end up being used like goggles, headsets, headware/headwear, glasses, etc.
Also like the last one because it's very short, but sorry, not sure what LoL means.

 

[deflee79]

I think they would likely own both domains.

If by a LLL.com they are paying $ 10000 to $ 50000 it is logical to think that by a LLLL.com with VR (the next fashionable keyword) can get to pay within a few years of 5000 to 10000 dollars. But I think that exceptions price which can reach these domains of four letters with VR over the next 5 years will not exceed 10000 dollars. Everyone does what he wants with his money, but today pay more than $500 for any combination of letters is a risky operation.

VRNG.com $ 420 YES!
VRTR.com $ 615 maybe
VRQJ.com $ 500 please, NOOOOO!

IMHO, course.

I got a 4L.com in VR that has had a few offers in the mid XXXX range. I got it and am very happy with it because I wanted to develop a Studio in the industry so for me this name was perfect.

So there is differently value in a 4L VR if it has a strong meaning or branding opportunity attached. To the unseen eye there are 4 letters, to another eye (going with the example a page or two back) you got Virtual Reality Kids Games with VRKG.

 

[Sanwal]

The value will be determined by the startups that are flooding/getting into this market and how much the companies raise on an average.
Never sell yourself short unless you're in dire need of cash, patience is virtue.

Yeah a name is worth what an end user is willing to pay for it? If the domain name has a lot of traffic this will also benefit the end user.

I bought VRKH ( Kids Hub) as one of my recent VR purchases.

Good luck with your development I hope it goes well. I'm going to develop another one of my hand regs from yesterday VRvsVR.com

Don't know if anyone specified this:
Another $50m goes to JauntVR in round C of funding

 

[VRdommy]

Please don't miss-read what I said to any of you.
I'll say it again and be much more pointed.

The collectors of LLLL.com, generally don't want numbers.
I have always contended that if it fits/works, it's valid like 3D.

I would NOT expect LLLL.com's generally to have values exceeding 3k unless the name itself warrants it (a end user value). Many probably will. I was only speaking of the hoarding going on. Even at that, it would be when the hoarding has been completed. There could be more players enter this and speed it up.

So what I have been preaching is that, as we are VR dommy's, it is advantageous to get your hands on VRxx and xxVR names.
Generally speaking, they should have a value
"much higher than the bulk average". (end user demand)
It's called supply and demand. You can't control supply except to have more of the same. But we know that the demand side will eventually catch up to the supply. That is the basic premise of the hoarders in the first place. We are in the position to let them drive the price up on bulk LLLL's and have what probably is the most future demand of the bunch. So even if you don't score with a end user in 5 years, you should have a 'safe bet' in the general LLLL.com

It's a get'm now or forget it proposition while they are doing this bulk buying. You have a few (3-6) months anyway.
I did the same for 3Dxx and xx3D names some years ago and I expect it to pay off in the coming few years. I would say the same for ARxx and xxAR.
I payed 600/900? for AR3D about 3/4 years ago. I do expect a handsome return on my investment over the next 5 years.

If I had the money at this time, I would be buying any VRxx and xxVR that I could obtain for under 800. I can say that many should be obtainable under 500 now but that will soon change.. We just seen a sale the other day for under 300.
I can see no 'safer bet' in this industry right now. But it requires money. What doesn't.

I have just pointed out what was happening. It's up to you on what you do with that info. But It's not very often someone with over 10 yrs experience puts a playbook in front of you. If you even have a remote thought you may not be able to pay renewal fees on what you now hold, You should not play in this particular game. It's not for the weak and is why the strong always seem to make money..

The older VR players should remember the 1st edition of:
https://www.oculus.com/en-us/connect/
Well, can you belive 1 year has passed?
P.S: I'm feeling facebook/oculus has a big surprise for us at this edition, maybe I'm wrong though, anyway it's a must watch.

 

[bigdomainer]

I hand regged VirtualForLess.com 2-3 years ago. I was going to develop it into a VA website, but can now see it as a possible VR site. What do you all think?

 

[amfoua]

Registered VRvsVR.com - this would make a great VR blog, VR gaming competition expo or Online challenges...

Great Domain name. It could be PlayStation VR vs Samsung Gear VR in Cross-generation multiplayer interaction such as gaming. Some time after the establishment of the Virtuality main stream retail market.

Happy to add 777VR.com to my portfolio to match VR777.com and others Hope everyone is having a good weekend! Go Patriots!

 

[VRdommy]

I had a couple of names in my short list for most of the year.
After reading this:
http://www.stuff.co.nz/technology/d...ty-could-be-the-future-of-viewing-photographs
http://www.stuff.co.nz/technology/d...ty-could-be-the-future-of-viewing-photographs
I decided to put the reg on them.
2 that I had wanted were taken. They were 360photostock and photostock360
since 2008/10
So what I did reg was vrPhotoStock and PhotoStockVR
I am sure if you think about other keywords in the same concept, there are other, relevant names like those still open.
But I don't think these will be big ones but you never know.
Since the most generic 'PhotoStock.com' is parked, and there is no history of the keywords demand, it would likely not be a 'in demand' name. But with all the NDA's, it's getting really hard to tell with something like these anymore.
Probably just need to be LUCKY with them.
Just disclosing my thinking on them.

 

[deflee79]

PlaystationVR amongst others using keyword+vr adds value to the combination.

Nice catch!
It is a perfect name for casinos and slot machines, good luck!

Hi guys.

I remember a few months ago in this thread that there were many doubts about registering keywordVR. The rule was almost a dogma said it was always a second option. But thanks to some colleagues as Marioct and other we have shown that in many cases keywordVR is the best option. Companies, startups, new product developers, apps and games prove it every day. Of course if I could register VRPORN would prefer to PORNVR, but in many other cases not.

Good hunting.

Isn't it called "stock photo"?
