Hi,
What do you guys think about .HOST domains? Do they have any value yet?

A domain name is only as good as its name. It doesn't seem like .host would be general-purpose. So, only a selected few names would sell well.

web.host
cloud.host
aids.host
hiv.host
talk.host
tv.host
show.host
cell.host
network.host
data.host
etc, etc would have value. And there may be some that aren't taken, but it'll be hard to find. Overall, it's not an easy market to sell in, because you're main market is end-users and not resellers.

For me it's LetMe.host just because I don't own Host.me ;)

I bought WebHosts.host and gave it back to registry the next year.. I remember it was a pricey tld with few registered/used though now it seems to be $18/yr for the reg fee names.

GEAR.HOST sold for $3,125 on 2014-12-03 at Sedo
There is someone who is collecting .host as a hobby:?: perhaps: www.hfor.host :-o

perhaps $18 was a discounted price for the first year. Who reads the fine prints?

Yep, $17.98 at enom.

Lol, webhosts.host which I gave back is no longer available and the registry decided to reserve it for themselves now, so funny how this new gtld landscape works. What was reg fee today could be premium tomorrow, what was available one year might be reserved and kept by the registry the next...
