question Which is most popular TLD now?

[sridomain]

Hi All,

Hope you're doing good!

As I was visiting popular domain news and looking at sold domains, I come across this interesting question - Which TLD is selling quickly now?
Some of you may argue that it depends on the quality of the domain name, but still TLDs also has some room in that.

Thanks,
Have a nice day.

You can't generalise these things. If you gave some examples, that would be helpful. The "dot com" is the one, but if you had "fox dot io" compared to "sexy fox dot com", I'd take the "dot io"

I think you've answered your own question. Yes, it does depend on the domain

It may be one of the answers.

I want to know are there any factors that depend on TLDs other than .com domains? want to understand all the dependent factors that is why I kept my question as generic.

Even in some cases, the non "dot com" domains sold much bigger prices.

What is the reason that makes you prefer "dot io" rather than "dot com" in the above example?

In the example of "fox dot io" and "sexy fox dot com" ...many

Sexy fox dot com is more limited, than fox dot io. The brand "fox" could be anything, whereas "sexy fox" has a vibe of dating, adult related, ladies clothing line ...very specific things that are "sexy", compared to the wide scope of just "fox"

If you had taxi dot com, same principle, that could be anything ...compared to cheap taxis dot com. You've limited the latter to literally cheap taxis, whereas just "taxi" could be (in theory) an adult site, a music site, a furniture retailer, a cologne brand ...

With single words like these (in top extensions), they are so strong, they can be almost anything, due to the respect they command

I think it also depends on the buyer. If the buyer is a re-seller/broker he looks for more probable/Generic words. But if a buyer is end-user he looks for a specific domain rather than a generic domain.

In specific domain names, the probability of selling price is much higher than generic domainnames.
It's my personal view.

Can @Bob Hawkes @James Iles through some light on this topic.
