My question is simple.Why all these new gtld's like .beer or .top?In other words why to say company.top when you have topcompany.com?Finally, i am the one who hates all these tld's?
I am thinking to develop fun and silly sites on .xyz. I think that is probably .xyz's greatest use. I like .xyz because I have a few good names. I really want to do something with them.
I believe it has got to be possible to develop good web sites using .xyz. It's short, generic, popular (for ngtlds), etc. I have just struggled with what kind of sites to develop until recently when I realized that .xyz sites should be more casual and fun.
I'd be willing to bet every penny I own that the domain hotels.com will be worth at least 150 times the value of hotels.xyz in 10 years time.
Replace casino.com with casino.xyz, or loans.com with loans.xyz, or sex.com with sex.xyz if you wish.
Anybody wish to bet against that? Nope..... see, it is that simple.
.com is winning the game till now , but with more than 1000 gTLDs coming to the market , chances are much higher now that .com will loose the batter against few new extensions ( at least within their own niche), this should happen the next few years I guess.....
I do not imagine .COM is a Mega Super powerful that if will beat all the thousands of new gTLDs coming live everyday..while the new extensions are supported by powerful entities like brands, Google, amazon...etc
Google can just give a hint that it will rank certain extensions higher within certain niches, and then you will see what will happen. I mean that Google can play a very strong role in promoting the new gTLDs and change the behavior of internet users if they want to.....
Throw the new tld haters a bone, they haven't had a good thread to post their anti-new-tld diatribes in for, like, hours.
I'd be willing to bet every penny I own that the domain hotels.com will be worth at least 150 times the value of hotels.xyz in 10 years time.
Replace casino.com with casino.xyz, or loans.com with loans.xyz, or sex.com with sex.xyz if you wish.
Anybody wish to bet against that? Nope..... see, it is that simple.
Just sayin'.
The point is to invest in GREAT KEYWORDS. So my response to you would be that, if the opportunity arrises to acquire a great keyword in an extension that makes the keyword relevant, you would be foolish NOT to pick the domain up and take a chance.
Can you provide an example of what you define as a "GREAT KEYWORD" new tld domain from your portfolio, and tell us what you paid for it?

.com is like sex, pizza, beer etc. It's not going anywhere, will always be dominant. To think that .com with almost 117 million regs, millions of sites is somehow going to take second place to any of these is delusional.
This is what real businesses know. This is why paying a little bit more now, makes financial sense long term.
where is knowledge.work going to rank in order of most desirable to somebody who really wants a knowledge domain?
don't you think investing so much in mediocre TLDs is a huge risk solely on the basis that it will be a buyers market, with every generic having hundreds of options, attached to hundreds of domainers who are all looking to recoup their investment?
quite a few people burning a hell of a lot of cash on junk.
Possible, but I don't think you would fetch a lot more.Yes, but at $3.90/year, even if I pay for 10 years before selling, my cost is only $39. I think I can sell knowledge.work for more than $39 in the next 10 years.
To me 2nd tier is .net or something like that. New extensions are far away from 2nd tier status. I think it's a lot of risk for meager rewards.The 2nd tier domains don't need to be sold for $x,xxx-$xx,xxx, they can be sold for $xxx and still provide a nice ROI.
I'll provide you with some of my favorites that I have registered, along with yearly renewal cost...

It's funny how all the .work domains you registered are ones that I pre-reg'd too at multiple registrars. That was an exciting time in February. haha I remember you mentioning about local work and Mr. Domains, I wonder though did you get most of these .work with Mr. Domain's "dumb" system?
