new gtlds What are your '.best' domain names?

[Most Bay]

Hi All,
We know, one registrant has launch great discount for registering new '.best' (dot best).
My knowledge is very limited about this extension. But I have tried to register some new names. Such as:

cap.best
bat.best
ham.best
dew.best
nap.best
tan.best
yap.best
night.best
morning.best

So What are yours?
And, Anyone can help me (or us) to explain how about the future prospects of this extension (dot best) for global market?

Thank you...

All other registrars don't matter at all...
Because most US/CA endusers are using GD...

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

1.2M+ .online domains and almost the same situation - very rare inquiries...
So what you expect from nTLD with ~36K taken domains???

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Must be at least ~200K domains to get some stable aftermarket results...

I know you can already pre-register but does someone know the date of the official launch of The.Best social network? I am hoping that may spur some sales through greater exposure of the extension.

I bet on GoDaddy...
The most effective method proven for years... and you can feel it in your pocket...
Other ways are good but gain from them is little...

And that's why just ~36K domains are registered.
Because GoDaddy is out of the game.

Tell about Cyril for this

lOT.BEST
M2M.BEST

Good luck but keep in mind by comparison I had 21,300 visits without a sale and 1 inquiry ($20)

Thanks! Hm, that's not great, good luck to you, too!

Hi just to give you in exclusivity a short pre-notice about THE.Best (Note that this can swipe a little bit as usual)

- Beginning October: Formal .Best communication on strategy & executions (after 1 Year acquisition)

Then :

- 10 October 2019: Presentation of THE.Best social network app + website at OVHCLOUD SUMMIT in PARIS
- 2-8 November 2019: Presentation of THE.Best social network app + website at ICANN66 SUMMIT in MONTREAL
- 15 November 2019: THE.Best app - Onboarding of Friends and Family Early Adopters
- 29 November 2019: .Best BLACK FRIDAY with Registrars
- 1-31 December 2019: Promotion on .Best multi-year renewals for registrants
- 15 January 2020: THE.Best app - Onboarding of first Influencers & Early Adopters
- March 2020 : THE.Best app in Apple App store + Google Play.
- 25-29 April 2020: Presentation of THE.Best social network app + website at the INTA SUMMIT in Singapore
- May 2020: THE.Best Roadshow
- 22-25 June 2020: Presentation of THE.Best social network app + website at COLLISION CONF in TORONTO
- November 2020: Presentation of THE.Best social network app + website on centr stage at WEB SUMMIT in LISBON.

So basically, THE.Best app should be public in March (Exact date still TBD).

Time for us to be at 100k .Best live domains and time for brands to protect and block their name before the launch of THE.Best social network.

App is ready. Countdown is on!

So stay tuned with our existing social medias and pretty soon a formal communication on our .Best global strategy and executions will be made officially.

Note that innovation at scale that we are going to put in the market has never be done before, neither in the domain industry or in the social network industry. We will give a social media account usage to all .Best domains. And Usage is the key to give value to domains - nothing else.

In the timeframe, I stay at your disposal for any questions regarding THE.Best social network & .Best domains.

All the .Best

Sorry Jurgen but I am really confused about your last 8 posts on this subject and have no idea what you are talking about Can you explain please?

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

What should be explained???
Clearly stated that without .best promotion on GD main page - too little chances to meet any endusers.

Do you mean on the front new registration page? So .best should pay Godaddy for that, right? Is it costly?
I always assumed GD rotates various tld positioning possibly free based on the promo in effect that day/week, cost appeal and attractiveness of the extension maybe based in part on the word(s) before the dot making sense with the ext.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Yes, all registries (TLDs) you see on GD main page - must pay to GD for this pleasure... including Verisign.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

The same on Dynadot etc.
They place only those TLD banners on their main page - which are PAID.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

Regarding Afilias TLDs...
This registry sometimes pays only for their .info
Afilias usually doesn't spend any money to promote their other TLDs like .PRO

 

[namemarket]

The same on Dynadot etc.
They place only those TLD banners on their main page - which are PAID.

Of course, I realize banners would be costly and pre-PAID but I was referring to the various extensions shown when they say "Taken.... Here are some great alternatives"

Which total 42 on one I just looked up.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

TLD ranking in Dynadot search results is also paid.
Even their LiveChat representative confirmed yesterday.

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

And I'm almost sure, that @Sedo TLD ranking is paid as well.

 

[namemarket]

So I assume the 42 alternatives in my GD example are all displayed free but banners are not free?

Maybe more orders come via the alternatives list because banners have a very poor CTR.
