    Hi there.

    Apologies if I've misunderstood you, but how can it be the same name ? You can't both own it.

    Dotxxx.co.uk is worthless in my view. Using a word to describe a punctuation mark would create such confusion for starters. Imagine giving the address out over the phone, for example.

    Also, new extensions seem to appear on the scene every 5 minutes.

    That's my view, for what it's worth. Unless, like I said, I've misunderstood you.

    In which case, I might look like a right a fool :)

    Sorry If I confused you, what I meant is that DotXxx.com was recently
    bought by ICM Registry for US$25K and was wondering if the .co.uk
    version of the name would have any value.

    Yes, I see your thinking now.

    Well, good luck with it. I'm not convinced there's value in the co.uk though.

    .co.uk isn't a com and .xxx is yet unproven. So a bit of a punt on a punt I feel.

    I can't see them making you a similar offer for this name.

    But that's why you beat me to it and will go on and sell it for 5 grand and bump this thread to rub my nose in it ! :)

    Good luck !

    LOL! Thank you for your input. BTW, I registered it last June and I was not
    aware that there was going to be a .XXX extension, I just thought it was
    an interesting name that an adult site may want to use. Anyway, I had a
    couple of contacts asking me if I want to sell it, so we shall see...............
