Worst ccTLD?

[Sam]

I would say .na ($2000+ to register a name). Close second is .NR (couple of hundred and you must send a cashiers check via postal mail)

 

[leavic]

There are a lot of bad ccTLD,hard to say which one is the worst.

 

[James]

wow it would suck to register a .na

Screw that. :td:

.na is up there now.

lol, I wonder if pope.va is available...

.asia has to be the worst in my book, how does it even qualify as a ccTLD?

I guess we'll have to wait and watch though, with most of these...

 

[Halobitt]

Surely .asia would be a continent code rather than a country code.

 

[Kate]

I would say .na ($2000+ to register a name). Close second is .NR (couple of hundred and you must send a cashiers check via postal mail)

Where did you see the prices for .na ?

 

[James]

.asia is big and ugly :td:

Here is more information about .asia

vedi, vini, I return as unimpressed as before.

What will this be? The third world gTld?

I would say 100% of countries have border disputes with their neighbours, the denizens of each country are completely nationalistic. I would say this a tough sell, specially with them hitting New Delhi instead of Mumbai, Bengaluru or Hyderabad, who are they trying to convince, the politicians? Their own party .ins are in private hands.

 

[AzN]

.asia is big and ugly :td:

what?!?!?! .asia is way better than .coop and .aero, wth is the point of those two? :td:

 

[stscac]

what?!?!?! .asia is way better than .coop and .aero, wth is the point of those two? :td:

I'll agree with that.

But at the same time, there are more aero and coop sites than I thought:
aero
coop

[neroux]

Worst as in what?

My worst personal experience was with .st. I had a domain registered there which was dropped from one day to the other. All contact attempts were ignored - until the day of renewal of course.

 

[sashas]

.nu for me
a country with a population of 2000. And people register car.nu. Whats their target audience?

IMO, most are pretty useless, unless its poker.xx or casino.xx or sex.xx

.de, .co.uk, .us, .ca, .in/.co.in, .cn and a few European countries (.be, .no) are worthwhile

 

[dnb8]

I think it is .tk

.nu has a SUBSTANCIAL amount of use in the scandanavian countries as it means now.

 

[Halobitt]

I think it is .tk

Methinks so too. I got travel.tk at mydomain.com. It was $40 not free like many other tks. When trying to change the nameservers, nothing happens. "Problem at registry" I think is the message that usually comes up.

 

[drewski83]

i agree with the .aero and .coop...both are pretty useless unless you own something like airplane.aero..

 

[stscac]

i agree with the .aero and .coop...both are pretty useless unless you own something like airplane.aero..

Technically, .aero and .coop are gTLDs, but I certainly understand where you're coming from. Did you take a look at the links that I posted. Very few sites in comparison to many of the top gTLDs.

.MQ Is terrible IMO. Has no potential for hacks, good for Martinique related only.

Other than that, It's TK. .NA has little potential too though, and at $2000 I really doubt too many people own one.
