new gtlds What's the best new gtld?

[Robert Sanchez]

Just curious what you guys think is the best new gtld out there & what are the reasons you think that new gtld is the best.

 

[bluebox]

Define "best"
- the extension I like the most? - then it's .tech - but it's doing poorly because it is mismanaged by registry and registries (too cheap registrations and too high renewals)
- the one that has the best marketing? - I guess that would be .club - but I don't really like it, it's too narrow, the first thing that pops to my mind is "chess club", overall "feel" is: hobby / nonprofit.
- extension that will have most registration? - .xyz - but they are more concerned with (meaningless) quantity over quality, it will be the next .info, always considered "cheap" and "low quality" and mostly used by spammers.

Some people wait for .web but I think it will be even more destroyed by shortsighted greed.

That's the problem with all those new extensions - in theory they are great because more competition is always good for consumers, but greed and lack of regulations is turning it into a mess.

I my opinion (also in regard of aftermarket sale records):

.CLUB, .XYZ, .TOP, .ONE, .TIPS, .WORK, .WORLD, .NEWS, .ONLINE, .LINK, .TECH, .RED

+ ALL perfectly matched keyword+TLDs'.

 

[Proper_Sharp]

It all depends greatly on what GTLD the other person is selling :D

 

[brandnow]

.Work, .Club, .One

 

[Fancy.domains]

Not all of them are descriptive in that list

No, but .COM is not very descriptive either. Still it's value is superior to all other TLDs.

Can you imagine the verbal hilarity of .dotcom

WhoIsOnFirst.dotcom

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

If you are just starting in domaining - buy OLD TLDs...

... ".GDN" is coming... (stands for Global Domain Name)

I secured my Trademark in .GDN: it cost me less than $3

 

[brandnow]

This is just before Renewal...

Agreed.. I invest in names both as an investment and for development based on the renewal costs.

Ya like everything in life it all depends but in general if you had to buy one of the new gtlds which would you buy

Don't forget the two domains in my signature

 

[guillon]

Descriptive domain names only.

First I was thinking, "what a waste"... But then I realized that I had the same thoughts about .XYZ, before deciding to buy 25-30 names at the release day. I do not regret that move now.

.GDN might be either a flip or a flop. Personally, I can not tell.

@Robert Sanchez good question. You may have some new tlds listed that you are planning to invest in. What are those and may be we can give you a better answer to your question.

Personally I think old tlds are the best bet but as mentioned above by some users a tlds needs to have a meaning so I would go for this to the right of the dot that have a meaning.

like .net, .org, .gdn, .com etc....

Can you imagine the verbal hilarity of .dotcom

How about .kom ?

 

[ttfan]

I like .online, because it's a word that's been commonly used for domains already, i.e. KeywordOnline.com. Turning that into Keyword.online seems logical and descriptive. Of course it won't work for everything, but if it turns into a name that makes sense, I think it's one of the best ngtld.

Best New Gtld ? ...............how long is a piece of string

 

[Mustafa Odabasi]

I think .ist has a great potential if you're planning on making an investment on new tlds. There are thousands of domain hack possibilities like dent.ist, orthopaed.ist, agnost.ist, chr.ist, jesuschr.ist, activ.ist, rac.ist, antirac.ist, art.ist etc... Almost all medical professions end with ist, besides the hundreds of meaningful dictionary words ending with ist, almost all words become a meaningful and brandable name taking the ist extension. Take application.ist for example, there's no dictionary word "applicationist" but this is definitely a domain with high potential. It magically becomes meaningful.

LLL.ist's also have a great potential because it's a short tld, unlike many other .gibberish new tlds this extension can produce nice and short domain names. Especially LLL.ist's containing keywords like usb.ist, ttf.ist, css.ist, psu.ist etc. have the potential to make money imho. Most LLL's are already gone, you'll have to try hard to find one.

And of course high search volume single or double keyword .ist domains will make money and many of them are still available right now. Let's face the awful truth, you can't find and buy a .com for a reasonable price anymore and if it's about making an investment, you can definitely invest in .ist with highly sought for keywords.

My personal favorites are .online and .one

 

[deez007]

My personal favorites are:

.online / .club / .vip / .xyz

I like .online and .tech but renewal fees are still an issue.

.tech and .co my picks

.co is a ccTLD
