.Inc Domain Set to Be Next New gTLD ‘Flop’ Accompanied by Ridiculous Price Tag

March 28, 2019 By John Colascione 5 Comments

NEW YORK, NY – If you have been waiting to get your hands on a new .inc domain name, you might as well just keep waiting; that is, until the price comes down somewhere between ‘reason-ability’ and ‘reality’. I’ve been interested in one of these domain names for quite some time now, however, checking the availability of a specific name, I’ve noticed that it will cost a whopping $3,500.00 to secure it during the early registration period. When the name becomes available for … [Read more...]

Biggest Threat to .COM Dominance Is Google’s Involvement in New gTLDs

March 1, 2019 By John Colascione 10 Comments

NEW YORK – According to industry news website, DomainNameWire.com, Google’s launch of “.dev” domain names is off to a prosperous start with the zone file representing over 64,000 registrations just one day after it entered general availability. That’s amazing even for a bearish believer of nGTLDs. I guess it is only a matter of time until more and more people begin accepting the fact that all of the good .com domain names are long gone, and there are these new sort of odd … [Read more...]

NEW YORK, NY – If you’re looking around for a few good ways to confuse new prospective customers, you’ve got two new great opportunities to completely derail even your best marketing efforts; .LUXE and .PAGE new gTLDs have just worked their way into the mix. Minds + Machines, the company behind .LUXE domain names, which are intended to serve the Ethereum, blockchain and security industry, has released the .LUXE domain which opens for general availability on November 6, … [Read more...]

Near 16,000 Bets Placed on Newer “.Art” gTLD Domain Name So Far This Year

October 21, 2017 By John Colascione Leave a Comment

NEW YORK, NY - On May 10th, 2017 during general availability I registered two .art domain names; the cost? That is simple: $24.57. The reason? That’s not as clear as I only have a handful of gTLDS. I guess I was trying to do what most domainers do when they happen to remember a new domain name is being released and it also happens to be general availability time - get the jump on others and grab some good ones to resell in the future. The two domains I registered were … [Read more...]

Another Cool $25 Million Bet on New gTLDs; The Next Best Thing Since Sliced Bread

May 7, 2017 By John Colascione 6 Comments

LONG ISLAND, NY – Another cool $25 mil was spent on the next best thing to a .com, a dot Art domain. Now that’s a lot of Fishnagles if you ask me. Is it going to pay-off dividends? We'll all have to wait and see; but if you asked Mr Ulvi Kasimov who won the bid to operate the .art domain, I’d bet he would tell you it’s going be worth every single cent. And you want to know something? I think this guy might actually be right on this one. Editors note: A comment below disputes … [Read more...]

New gTLD Success Will Be Measured Only by Use; Not Sales, Not Registrations

March 26, 2017 By John Colascione 9 Comments

NEW YORK, NY - This week a new gTLD sale made the news, not because of its great keyword, but due to its high price and its ending extension. The domain name casino.online recently sold for over $200,000.00 at SEDO. This might seem like a domainers dream-sale turning a lucky registrant into an instant success, but it was far from a general availability registration; it was actually a domain name reserved by the registry. So basically, it was, for the most part, a planned … [Read more...]
