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

Fair enough, but just because someone has a high post count does not make them 'a mentor' type figure or someone to turn to for advice, who’s to say they will give correct advice?

Here’s a little bit of advice and probably the best advice anyone can give - Every single person on NamePros is solely here for themselves, so what does that mean? I’m not necessarily talking about the VR thread now, but my time on NamePros I’ve watched and you will get the ‘so called’ experts devalue the true worth of someone else’s domain in an attempt for them to get it cheaper, I’ll be honest I’ve done it myself trying to negotiate a domain I really like, pull it down a little bit, make out the current owner is overestimating it’s worth, that’s business.

Yep, that happens everywhere in business. People need to have good acumen when dealing with business matters.

I'm sure that happens but we're really talking here about general words of caution regarding registering every vr keyword under the sun. It also works the other way. Likely there are a few here who are encouraging the competition to mass hand reg junk rather than spend on trying to acquire a few good names (the names they might be bidding for).

As far as criticizing specific names is concerned when I first joined this forum as a real newbie I excitedly posted some of my recent hand regs expecting to be told they were worth thousands, so it was a blow to my ego to be informed by nearly everybody who replied that they were worthless. Looking back, I can see that it saved me a lot of money in terms of renewals and further bad registrations.

Also, naieve domainers buying loads of junk names hurts us all in a sense as it likely raises reg fees across the board. I guess the registry companies make most of their money from speculative domainers mass registering junk if the VR sphere is any guide.

Dota 2 releases full VR spectator suite—just in time for the International

Ars takes Dota 2's first VR mode for a spin ahead of tourney worth $18.7M (and counting).

Valve has now released its second piece of software for the HTC Vive virtual reality system: a free spectator hub for its hugely popular online-battling game Dota 2. While the Wednesday release isn't a game per se, my brief test with the surprise-launched VR experience proves that this may very well be a game-changer for the system, and maybe even for e-sports.

The Dota 2 VR Hub got its first tease as early as this April, shortly before the Vive hardware saw its commercial launch, but word about the app dried up shortly afterward. And unlike other functions added to Dota 2, including a switchover to the Source 2 engine and Vulkan API support, this VR hub didn't launch in a separate "test" branch or with any major "beta" indication. The mode requires a roughly 300MB installation, which can be toggled in the "DLC" list in the game's Steam "Library" section.

What's it like inside? Quite honestly, Dota 2 VR Hub is a total trip.

The VR interface, which arrives juuuust in time for next month's official Dota 2 tourney, The International, recreates what its spectators have come to expect: the ability to watch either live or archival game matches within the interface. But before talking about how that experience changes in VR, there's the matter of a surprising new feature to the Dota 2 viewing system: lobbies. Players can elect to join a public lobby or create their own private one, and both options support up to 16 viewers, all with voice chat enabled.

And hopefully the right buyer will materialise! However, currently there's a limited pool of potential buyers willing to pay that amount for a VR name. In 5-10 years we'll hopefully see the sales reports littered with 5 and 6 figure VR domain sales.

it's also possible that in future when VR is widespread and taken for granted people won't feel the need to add VR onto their service or domain name. That does happen with technologies.

No worries. I have a bit of a monopoly on the gaming industry in Denmark BTW. They have a strong development community there, even though it's a population of only 5 million. Looking forward to some nice turn around on these as the VR industry matures.

This is interesting to me. I have to warn you though, we have a DN system that does not encourage speculation. It is actually directly against the Danish DN rules to reg a domain in order to gain profit by selling it.

Anyone with a claim to your names can initiate a domain dispute. It costs less than 100 USD to initiate and it is refunded if they decide to give your name away. This happens often. You can not advertise them for sale and you have to have active sites, otherwise anyone that want them and has actual use for them, can just take them from you.

This is also the reason I myself have never speculated in .DK names. Just to much risk and if you ever hit a valuable name, you can only ask for your costs associated to acquiring the name when selling.

So if you want to sell these at some point, you better get your developer cap on and start put on some real content. If you want to know more read up on this:

There will be always a difference between being fully immersive (VR) and partly immersive (MR). (the need for a customer to get a targeted search result / direct navigation.

If a customer like to watch a video / 3D projection with a MR device he will be looking for mixed reality MR content.

If a customer like to watch a video fully immersive it will be VR.

Of course. A customer can always type-in casino.com, slots.com, hotels.com, but this kind of domains are worth millions and are out of reach for most domainers. With adding VR and MR to keywords it is possible to get valuable short niche domains for low figures. When you have a VR device you might type-in vrcasino.com and not casino.com. VR keyword is here to stay, now and in 10 years.

Who ever bought VRP*rno.xxx for $350 on Flippa might be on to something.

I just regged this a few mins ago for only $13:

VRP*rno.video

I'm not a HUGE fan of "VR" nGTLD names, but this one may have significant potential down the line IMHO.

That name is still for sale at Flippa. Woot?

We’ve not had someone sticking their nose in other peoples buys for a while

I think people need to get off their high horse and just let people get on with it – Trouble is in domaining (and this does my head in) people make a sale and they think they are some kind of expert, I’m not going to say any names but you can see how some people's whole e-persona changes after a sale or a good buy, they go from being modest to looking down at folk almost instantly.

Reality is though, even some of the ‘so called’ best portfolios are full of junk (including mine) what’s it got to do with anyone else though?

When someone posts their domains in a thread they're basically saying, "please tell me what you think". Providing an opinion for such domains is hardly sticking your nose in other's buys.

Now, if I pat your ass and tell you all your regs are great you love me. The moment I suggest you should relax with the registration sprees I'm "looking down" as if I'm superior. Bah!

It's obvious that most folks in these threads are green. Sometimes tough love is better than telling folks what they want to hear.

This is true. I started in July and I can say that most of my names are crap. 90% is crap, maybe I can get my money back on 50% of it. 5% are just good, but nothing special and 5% is my top - most future domains so today it's not worth a lot. The best advice I got from some people here is first of all research. And then think if a company really would like that name instead of just purchasing their own.

For me it's kind of addictive domaining but I would like it to be profitable too so for the next month I will not buy anything, I've decided.

What happens if someone came up to you at the shop counter and said to you “what are you buying that t-shirt for its crap” or stopped you in the street and said “your aftershave smells like someone’s died” what would you say? I know what I would say.

Bottom line, everyone has different tastes of what is good and what isn’t – There’s been some VR sales, I would class as ‘bad registrations’ gone for 4 figures.

End of the day domaining is industry where people can rich or poor can have a chance at making money, don’t end hopes before they even begin and don’t shoot people down for trying.

Help people by all means if you think you can, but be respectful about it, people are only trying. Arrogantly saying “get a refund” or using the dislike button or posting these faces (which people do) is the wrong way in going about it.

In general, shirts and aftershave aren't bought with the hopes of profiting. People buy domains with the hope of making money.

If someone suggests getting a refund it's not being arrogant, it's trying to save someone hard earned money. If you post here you have to prepare yourself to accept both positive and negative feedback.
