Good name but .WS kills the value

$10~$25 :sigh:

Well, Im aware that .ws kills value of most domains. But I thought this one would still have a bit more value, since it has big business potential.. So its a No-No in your oppinion?

Big Business doesn't use .ws so unfortunately no resale value. There are many great names still unregistered in .ws .cc etc because there is no resale market. Buy them only if you want to develop them for a site of your own.

They are marketing it as a "Web Site" if thats what you are asking, otherwise its just another ccTLD from some island or sth - if thats what you are asking

Like Earl said! Still tons of .ws available. In my opinion! just a matter of time, before people get smart. I have noticed the rate at which .ws is steadly picking up steam in popularity. If you can afford to buy and hold, I suggest you do so. It may be too late in the near future, to get that one worder domain name. I don't care if it represents western samoa, web site, or world stupidity. The fact is, it is unrestricted, has 2 letters and is not some TLD, with a string of sub extensions. Wake up people!

Well, Duke of Earl said that .ws is not wort shit in resale market So his post wasnt realy positive.. He has a point there, but Im still not sure is this domain worth $15 or not. Its not that 15 is a lot or anything, I would just like to get clear picture for the future. I appreciate all the comments!

I think the domain is worth $15-45 at this time.
Sales of .ws domains have been picking up.

Thanks. What about in a year or so?
Do you find it worth regging. or would stay away from it?

"Good name but .WS kills the value"

True. And the likely chance of the .WS situation improving in any reasonable amount of time is suspect, at best. This is a non-renewal in my opinion. Sorry. Good Luck.

Those aren't resale stats - those are new regs and at the time of this post they show not a single .ws registered in the last 24 hours. I've seen no evidence of any kind of .ws resale market anywhere.
