Dot US picking up steam!

.US is still getting as many regs as .info and .biz COMBINED - and it's just a little old country code - imagine that.

Looks like .biz really got a goose from that rollback in the registration requirement from 2 years to 1 Sunday. Triple their usual number of regs in the last 24 hours. I even took one myself and I'm not a .biz fan.

I can't seem to find any registrars for .biz that offer 1 year for around $7-8

Enom was a couple of days late but they are doing it now. Just registered one this morning. $7.10 with my reseller account.

Several Enom resellers let you register retail with them for under $9. You can do it at SharpRegister.com for instance for $8.88. I have an Enom reseller site too (IdealRegistry.com) but my prices are $11.99 as I target the retail market rather than resellers (I've also found it is actually helpful to try to make a profit on what you sell )

Correct Big. .US is regularly outselling both Global TLD's - .info and .biz - in fact on many days it sells more than .info and .biz put together. .US is happening and within a few years I expect it to rival or surpass .DE as the world's second most registered extension, behind only .com. A lot of people like to sneer at country codes even though .DE has almost as many registrations as .net and .org combined.

The exchange is on for .us, as trading has begun.

Neustar's stuff is all fixed. Their TLD looks to be stable now. We also just added .WS, we hope to add a few more TLDs soon. Any suggestions on what other TLDs we should add?

I noticed the .WS the yesterday in your results..

I found that "intersting" in that we have a forum member that has been recently been BUYING .WS for speculative reasons....and now you guys list .WS (perhaps the worst extension)..

something going on we should now about ?

Thanks for the update...

.com.cn

I would not call .WS the worst extension, far from that. It is a valuable alternitive.

TLDs we are considering right now.... .BZ .NU .DE .CO.OK .TV .CC

 

[Whois-Search]

Delete the rest of them because they are all worth $0

I agree with Andrew. Those domains are dead end extensions. Try .com.cn, and later, .cn.

 

[bidawinner]

.DE dead ? :laugh: :laugh:

I'd really like to see .DE ..it's the TOP ccTLD with around 6 Million registrations...thats is very impressive.


.US continues strong..

Yup, yup, .de has reached saturation point, so any tracking of this extension is er, boring.

com.cn is a far better extension to track, given its low base and unpredictable potential. Then, when .cn launches, nameintelligence will be ready to test the true mettle of a moth-balled "Asian" domain.

IMO, this silly extension to Westerners will get the interest of speculators, particularly from the APAC and the massive overseas Chinese community,

From a providers viewpoint, this should make for a much richer international, whois.sc.

Remember, the Chinese invented gunpowder.
