Welcome. There is a member of these boards that owns rather a large number of city name domains...but I can't be sure if they were developed websites

If I were you i'd post your query in a better suited forum.

Blinding domains btw
Must be worth a packet as just domains

Hi Simon,

I am guessing it was a colleague of yours (Jamie) who asked similar questions on http://www.namepros.com/domain-appra...don-co-uk.html just over a year ago. I think the advice here would be the same - either cash in or develop.

It depends on budgets and time open to which route to development is best , as it would be a shame to waste a couple of the better names ie. london, with a poor website.

Cheers,
Rob.

You could do amazingly well out of developing some of your superb portfolio of geos. On the other hand, perhaps you're looking down the looooong list and thinking "there aren't enough hours in the day" - well, why not sell off a few of the smaller cities and focus your attention on the diamonds like london.co.uk etc.?

It should be easily possible to turn london.co.uk alone into a multi-million-pound business with a bit of investment of time and money.

If you ever decide to sell any cities, do let me know!

It could be worth doing sooner than later as if things like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.berlin get the go ahead .london / .lon may devalue london.co.uk

Jamie used to work for me. I have decided to have a look at the project again. I haven't looked at it hard enough mainly because I know it will always be there. If that makes sense?
