Are dot hn extensions worth investing in?

enworb · 26-07-2007, 04:59:58 PM

Are single word domains with (what I would consider) obscure extensions like hn, ws, ag, sc, vc and cc worth buying? I usually use 1and1 to register domains and they are selling them between �30 and �90 + vat.

In hindsight, might I wish i'd bought a few dictionary word domains with these extensions or are they not worth the annual registration fees?

Cheers,
Gary

Gary, in my experience they are not worth it at all. I only own one .hn and that's whois.hn, as it was simply the only available extension for that name when I was looking. And I'm not thinking of renewing it. Just my 2p.

FWIW - Top generic phrases will almost always get more than the reg fee in any extension - hotels, sex, xxx, search, country codes, music, mp3 etc.

DNSalePrice.com is your friend! They have these sales from sedo listed (though there are probably other sales):

I sold diamonds and mortgages on the .vc extension for $xxx each a while back. There is slight profit in top generics on these extensions, but not massive amounts.

What's the cheapest a .hn can be registered for?
