what is your opinion in xyz extension?
what is your opinion in xyz extension?
If you hold 100 .XYZ domains, how many serious offers have your received in the last year? If your XYZ sales are more than renewals, then keep holding on to your best names. If you have no offers, then perhaps you need to drop some (because apparently no one wants them).
While it is true that outbound marketing to end users who were not looking to buy a domain name has a very, very low conversion rate, passively waiting for end users to come to you also means waiting a few years (even for a .COM). How many years are you willing to fund a negative cash flow portfolio if the market for a particular TLD seems to be minimal? Again, registry sales and sales by other domain investors don't help your wallet. (i.e. someone sold Sharks.tv for $15k recently and I have many more business-oriented domains than "sharks")
It means that your pants are unzipped.Does it make sense to you?
It doesn't to me. What does xyz stand for? Is it suppose to be cute? Maybe I am missing something.
Not a fan.

I Like it BECAUSE it doesn't mean anything.
Well to look at an extension this way, what does .com, .net, .org, .io, .me,.. etc. stand for or mean? And yeah, we know what they were 'supposed' to mean or stand for, but no one uses or buys them for their 'intended' meanings (except maybe by a 'very' few). So other than the new gTLDs that are actually words, 98% of legacy extensions are not used for their meanings or for making sense, they're just established and already known by the masses as an 'extension'. Extensions only really mean something to domainers, who want to trade in them, and that boils down to only caring about the most popular and coveted ones, not to what they mean.Does it make sense to you?

yes i agree with you omar it doesnt make sense but also jkhg.com and gfdr.com and most 4l.com dont make sense to me but they are selling as investment....i think .xyz became popular because google has taken a name on this extension..
we will see what will happen with this extension
No I don't, as I already noted - what does .com, .net, .org, .io, .me,.. etc. stand for or mean? And yeah, we know what they were 'supposed' to mean or stand for, but no one uses or buys them for their 'intended' meaningsWell. Based off what I've read on the history of the internet, .com = Commercial (or commerce), Net = Network, Org = Organization. Get my drift?
And the first 2-3 years of the existance of .com, .net, .org you didn't see them advertised on billboards or commercials. Your point being??I don't see many .anythings being advertised on billboards and commercials.
But they (businesses) 'again' are not buying or using .com for what it means (commercial), but because it's (at this time) the more popular extension.I'm pretty sure an extension does not only mean something to domainers, most businesses want to be on the best extension (which right now, is .com)
