    Exclamation TakeMeTo.asia Domain sells for Six Figures breaking record for a new TLD


    Just read this amazing article in Domain News


    "TakeMeTo.asia Domain Sells for $666,000 breaking the Sales record for a new Domain TLD"

    "This sale comes just days after the .asia TLD opened up for registrations..

    This astonishing sale proves that Catchy three-word domain name hacks are a hot commodity.

    The new .asia TLD which has been created as the internet's gateway to Asia has received enormous popularity in a relatively short time.

    Registrations for .asia domains are expected to skyrocket following this sale, especially with domain speculators/cybersquatters.

    .Asia is set to become the most successful domain extension since .com, and may exceed .com in the near future." read more!!

    Your drawing this conclusion based on one domain sale?

    There is a 60-day hold on selling .Asia's. Therefore, no .Asia's can be sold until the 60 days has elapsed. Different from the .mobi's.

    I registered two .asia's with Eurodns and did an internal transfer seconds later.
