poll Will .com (dot com) be King in 2017?

[Michael Ehrhardt]

I don,t think so...

 

[Sophia Alice]

Even its 2077 , .com rules

 

[rhakim]

.com is the defacto standard for more than 20 years, and will still be in 2017. Exact Match Domains with .com extension will still be strong especially related to service and product.

Every King, Every Product has its days.
As per product life cycle rules, .COM now in last stage called Saturation and Decline stage.
I m not sure about nTLDs but ccTLDs will definitely rule this world. As most of the "End Users" prefer ccTLD of their own country. IMO

.in will be king of India. Drone.
Drone.in will be the newt thing, as the video says.

 

[StrategyNaming.com]

.com will remain #1.

I just can't see the sustainability in almost every other extension.

Seeing BankLoans.xyz sell for $699 as an example. Those are trillion dollar industry keywords and that's all that name could fetch? Instances like that where a ceiling has been established for outstanding keywords will crush the value of weaker names in the same extension.

Yes, they can be registered for 50 cents, and the odd name will fetch a 1000% ROI, but I for one am happy I haven't saturated my portfolio with .50 cent registrations that I would need to invest significant time and effort just to sell for $xx or $xxx.

Happy New Year from Strategy Naming.
May the future bring Peace and com to all.

Let's take a theoretical city of 100k residents and an average number of residents per housing unit of 2.
There is a need for 50k housing units (condos, homes, apartments) in that city to house all residents.
Let us imagine that in this city there are 2.5 million housing units yielding a 98% vacancy rate.
Of course there are some locations which are more desirable - water views, great schools and nearby parks, upscale shopping, restaurants, and medical facilities. Those are priced higher but given the high vacancy rate, those with a limited housing budget have ample cheap options.

Now a group of developers decide they want to build another 10 million housing units on the outskirts of this city with 100k residents which already has 50 times more housing capacity than it really needs. These new locations will be a longer commute to work, are further from shopping and parks and restaurants. Yet the developers in some cases have priced their units higher than some of the more desirable existing locations.

What will happen?

.Com Registrations Loses Another 1 Million Domains In Less Than 2 Weeks; Now Under 127 Million

A find the title a bit misleading. Of course .com will stay the king for long (probably forever). But from a domainer's point of view the question is : what is the expected ROI and risk of .com compared to other TLDs? Right? Which is a completely different question in my opinion.

 

[Domaniak]

I voted yes. Overall - yes. Which is not to say that other extensions are not worth investing in. On the contrary, many good opportunities and easy money to be made on alternative gTLD's. Ditto re good old .NET's and .ORG's. While HugeDomains' focus is still exclusively on .COM's

 

[StargateCapital]

For 2017, absolutely .com will remain King. Will take a while, if at all to overcome .com after all the years being engraved in the minds of consumers. Definitely some great gtld choices though now. Will be interesting to see how things play out over time! Voted yes.

happy new extension year

It is the king forever, even if be displayed in the shelves, it is still a king.

do you need a King ?

 

[lennco]

This debate has gone on for years even before all the new crappy extensions.

.COM is King and will always be King until something else takes over the internet and replaces websites.
As long as the internet revolves around websites .COM will sit on the Iron Throne.

If you are invested in the new extensions then your best bet is to try and get a long with .COM and stop dreaming of knocking the King of his throne, it just ain't going to happen.

 

[Elon Swift]

.com will be there for some time but new gtld's will soon take over
