So what .ES did you get so far?

[gemsergio]

I just got hotelbarcelona.es and financiar.es
I really like both of them quite a bit

 

[MrDude]

My Spanish is rusty but some available names I found if any want to take:

tocador.es = Toilet
tocadores.es = Toilets
racista.es = Racist

 

[gemsergio]

a few more I got today:
doctor.es
matrimonios.es (weddings)
motel.es
fiji.es

thanks for the update Freddy...
we will wait for the registery to update nameservers.

Now u just need to start accepting paypal too , Hope this gets implemented before .eu ..

Scorpio,
I dont know how the other registrars handle the frauds with paypal.
It is very hard for us to implement Paypal. Paypal is a magnet for fraud like shit for a fly. I would need to review all orders, this would slow down the speed of registration.

Freedy I think some have exclusive argeement with paypal with there own representative to call on phone and also it will covered in virtual products which is not refundable.
Anyways what bout min prepaid of say 100$ like enom does , this would make you review only once when money is send and transfered into store credit.
Another way can mabey you can give it exclusive to DNF users to start with, which would reduce change for fraud to minimum .

I don't know how bad fraud is in paypal but it might
not be so bad with domains. I mean, if their payment screws
up you can take away the domains or ban the user, so there
is no incentive for fraud. The two main registrars I use for
.com and .ca both offer paypal, one of them has an extra
charge added if you use paypal to cover their paypal fees, which
is fair. You could contact other registrars who use paypal and
see how it works for them. I'm sure you would also get more
business if you accepted paypal, enough probably to offset any
problems with the fraud. For myself, I like to have the paypal option.
Also, if more registrars start to do european domain registration and
they offer paypal, you might lose business to them from the paypal
users.

thats an idea!
lets see how we can do the accounting.
I thought also about giving a special promo to exisiting Users of EuroDNS and DNForum Members that they need only to prepay a special amount like you mentioned. Could be really a deal. have to think about that.

For CNO Domains there is the advantage to give the names back after few days. ccTLDs are much more expensive! Fraud in ccTLDS is really wasting money! And there is a lot! In Visa and Master we have already very good solutions. I will think about it, for sure.

it would be great if you could accept e-gold. its a very good currency which is fast to pay with and 100% unrefundable.

Transferring .es domains, how long do you have to wait
before you can transfer to a new owner?

 

[gemsergio]

today I got poeta.es and francia.es

 

[Theo]

Waste of $$$
Unlike .in domains - with the "in" being used as a word or as a shorthand for "internet" - the ".es" TLD doesn't have much appeal - except for the TRULY GENERIC & TOP QUALITY keywords (which are gone).

I registered only 1 domain that forms a word with the "es" in the end - and it's Greek to begin with. I won't be registering other .es domains.

 

[dnbidder]

I disagree, .in doesnt stand for internet in my eyes, I see it as india.

I think you see India because it's very recent...

Look at .tv... do you see it as Tuvalu? Now I see TV...

Look at .ws... do you see it as Western Samoa? Now I see WebSite...

With .in and .be will be the same... imo
