.XXX finally approved. Will you speculate on this extension?

[mole]

When .XXX comes out end this year, will you be participating in the Land Rush? Or do you think its just another rubbish domain extension that should be ignored?

 

[sasquatch]

Hihi, you gotta be kidding.

It's going to be the biggest rush of all online times, because unlike .com where nobody really participated, this one will be attended even by the likes of my grandma and her beauty parlor friends.

hahahaa, yeah no better way to keep them sex hormones recharged than to register bettyfields.xxx. quatch.

 

[Luc]

One thing I've learned from these roll-outs is that you have a better chance of procuring names for yourself if you own a ICANN accredited Registry.

I myself will not be speculating even though I believe this domain will far surpass any new roll out we've seen yet.

I won't be speculating for the simple fact this name WILL BE a marked domain. My guess is you'll still need to keep a .com so that if you need to email you can. Employers I'm sure will block the domain. People forget how much traffic they get from workplaces..Check your logs!!!! Here in the US I'm sure the gov't will try to force the issue of making .XXX a place where porn operators can do business. It makes sense, you can't have an adult establishment within "X" feet from a school, etc. Why should a child be just a few keystrokes from it. It will definitely be easier for parents to block this name. That means adolescent children who would otherwise pay for a yearlong subscription using their parents cc, might not be able to. Has anyone ever wondered how much money is actually made from teenage boys? You cut some of the market, and you just have a regular old internet business.


So after all that is said and done, I don't think all the red tape will be worth it, unless you get Sex.xxx, Porn.xxx, or any of the major fetishes.

actully... .xxx domain names would be sold for $70 to $75 each

Not only you could feel re-auntjudy-venated, but you gotta make some easy money (and domains are after all, easy money, right?) for your Caribbean cruises, cause those old age checks just don't cut that far anymore.

$70 to $75 each for new reggs?
do they mean 'premium' ones like some registries do, or for any .xxx?

anyhow, I still think .coms are all around better even for this industry.

 

[mole]

with you, for $4.95/each. :cheeky:

Sold! I'll like to pre-register dotcomgod.xxx for $4.95 :cheeky:

 

[labrocca]

Wow a xxx extension. I been saying this for years...it's just common sense.

The rush to register the xxx extension I believe will be incredible. I wouldn't mind getting 100 names if I can. You might have to make a list of 1000 names I think to get 100 that are actually available. This could take days of research and planning.

ugh

Value for an end user - HUGE
Value for everyone else - OK
Resellers - CHANCE TO GET RICH FOR REAL

I'm gonna be getting alot of the .xxx registration traffic, I got alot of the key domains like RegXXX.com, RegisterXXXDomainNames.com and many others...hope they have a good affiliate program! maybe I'll be able to trade them for some good .xxx names!

got.... XXXSUNRISE.COM and XXXSUNRISEPERIOD.COM too....

 

[SouthernTn]

Ohhhh Im ready for this. Im just anxious to get a very good one worder.. Something I know people are typing in every single 5 minutes of the day. :-D

 

[seeker]

they'll type the .com first

and I dont know of any US law that tells ME (in Greece, where we are still for now free) that any of my .coms has to be '.xxx'
.com will reign

 

[markp1980]

I bought whichXXX.com

 

[Bender]

I 'll go for .eu's...cheaper, cleaner
I have to say that I like the idea of moving the xxx sites out of the .com area...a few days I saw freeskins.com in the drops, and I didn't like what it was there previously...

 

[Focus]

XXXnom.com is still aval..........

.....buyxxxname.com
...............buyxxxnames.com

 

[Leading Names]

$70 - $75 Registration / Renewal is a little steep for speculation IMO.

I will probably go after a few dozen keywords and end up with a couple, or possibly none at all.

In addition to being very expensive, the .xxx registry claims you won't be able to register them unless you can prove you already have a bonafide adult business (though I have no idea how they plan to verify that). They are also keeping all of the great keywords reserved for themselves (.travel is going to do that too). .US strangled kids.us before it could even get out of the cradle with high prices and too much red tape. It will be interesting to see if .xxx does the same.
