.xyz no over priced bs and is used by many strong websites and startups.

I think .email sucks. When you turn it to a website, it doesn't make sense.
When you make it into an email, it makes perfect sense, but doesn't sound well. It seems super forced.

I like .shop and .club, though I don't own any.

I own .cool which I think is cool, and a .sexy.

.co .. and yes yes .. I know ... I know .. lol .. but I DO class it as a gTLD .. similar to .tv (which I don't like as much unless you have a great key term left of dot .. but it's still a gTLD for all intents and purposes)

.tv .co .io .me .ly .to are ranking as gtld. However they are not "new" :P

lmao .. and here I was ready to fight for the fact .co should be considered a gTLD .. lol .. but yeah .. at only 5-6 years since the top level .co was opened I guess it's older than the new batch by a bit! But I do consider it newer than the others you mentioned because most of those were using the top level from the start (while I'm fairly sure for .co it was only allowing _.com.co _.net.co and _.org.co (or something like that).

3 letter .co's have essentially turned liquid and I'm seeing .co in small and medium sized business advertising. While I don't think .co will ever come close to .com .. I don't think it needs to be to find success in it .. it's one of the few ones that are general purpose and global in scope ... only a little more critical mass of end usage and I think .co could easily become one of the few alternatives to smaller companies only willing to spend 2k to 10-20k for a great (left of dot) domain.

I see the potential for .co to pillage from what would traditionally have been .net .. with the exception of tech companies where .net is more appropriate (and has the colossal bonus of also being 20 years more established .. lol).

I have registered a bunch of 3L.co at sunrise in Jully 2010. One .co cost about $25/year. 7 year x $25 = 257. I now own only a few .co. I took advantage of the Chinese market to get some money back on my investment. I have only sold one .co to an end user (paid $25 sold $1,200 in a year) and received maybe 3 inquiries on my 3L .co... In... 6 years..

I still prefer .co over a lot of tlds but I think .io, .xyz and maybe .app and .web (if they are priced reasonably not like .sucks and don't reserve all the good domains) are better alternative to .com.

Only the new tlds that make sense left and right of the dot, ie: used.auto, chess.club, web.solutions, etc, etc. But you probably will need to pay equivalent of a .com registered in 1990.

 

[Ategy]

The ~$25/year for .co hurts a bit .. but it can also be seen as a good thing in that it keeps it more professional. What's going to happen to .xyz when all the $0.01 names drop .. .xyz and the likes are also a spammers paradise .. they are facing a huge uphill battle for long-term credibility.

I think .app will actually severely hurt .io .. while at the same time not really hurting .co much as it's broader in scope.

.web will likely take off a bit .. but it just seems a little too informal for actual businesses .. but the irony is that .web might be the ngTLD that takes the surviving ngTLD's into the mainstream.

.club I think is a good one for a couple of reasons .. but again .. does not have the broad scope of .co

I've grabbed some great .co's over the last few months .. need to start setting them up for sale .. I'm pretty much starting out now!

I would say that all 3L and premium word .xyz will never stop increasing in value for the next 5 years. I agree that there a lot of spams coming from .xyz. However, there are a lot of spammers and phishing sites using .com as well as .net and .info. Great word .com .net and even .info are still highly valuable.

People don't trust domain names that doesn't sounds right. not the TLD.

Exemple:

Automatically trusted: Drive.xyz Loan.info Share.net Goal.com Sex.club Fly.travel Web.zone
Not trusted: your-dream123.xyz Paypalaccount1.info wim-e.net m0bileappweb.com

I don't think .xyz is loosing credibility.. only gaining popularity.

I understand what you mean .. but I've seen various claims that there actually are companies that are blindly blocking entire TLD's because of spam reasons. If this trend continues it will affect the marketability of the TLD's in question.

That being said .. I'm not even sure if this is even a new thing ... there were probably several east european ccTLD's that were flagged for the same reasons ages ago.

Well .tk has been offering domains for free for years and this extension has been blocked by many host/email companies.

I don't remember seeing one business using a .tk domain.

.xyz Is clearly liked by startups
