Introduction Hello everybody

Hello everyone.

I am in the domain industry for quite a while...

I just found acorndomains by chance, and I decided to join.

Welcome dotviper what would you say are your best and worst domains

 

[DotViper]

No he did not, but life is all about perspective, for example, the sinking of the titanic was a miracle to the lobsters in the ship's kitchen.

My first domain was 21stcenturyfashion( dot )com, registered back in 2007, soon after I did buy over 300 names, 263 left to expire in the following year...

Aprox 1 year later, I sold my first name with $65.00...

Since 2009, I did buy and sell names but nothing big...the biggest deal high $xxx.xx for one of my yogurt names...that's my fast-forward story.

I got some .co.uk's too

CopperPipeAndFittings
CopperCouplings
StratfordRental
TouchMp4Players
TouchMp4Player
Stratfordroom

but, I am not a big fan of them though

Why not?

 

[DotViper]

Well, I just don't see the potential in .co.uk

 

[DotViper]

Agree, but to get a name like any of those with a good price so then you can make a profit is almost impossible. Pure luck

Maybe not on par with .com sales, but I would suggest that these .co.uk's had potential:

So you're saying it's easier to buy and flip premium one word .com's?

You're probably in the wrong place then, unless it's attention you want

 

[DotViper]

I am sorry but that is really mean. I've seen people here talking about all sort of names, not only .co.uk...so by saying something like this in a public forum, is just inappropriate, or maybe you're the one which want the attention by jumping to such conclusions.

Yes, I believe so.

if Blossom had intended to be mean I doubt she would have put a wink at the end of her statement!!

Saying you don't see the potential of .co.uk in a (predominately) .uk forum is a pretty odd thing to say though considering the activity of this whole forum suggests otherwise.

Anyway, hello and welcome!

.com will always have more attention and I only have bothered with co uk over the past few years when everyone is online now. The biggest money is in .com domains but doesn't mean that there isn't a market for co uk it's just a different market. You can have a use for a .com anywhere but co uk are going to be specific but there's definately a market in the uk for domain names hence this forum
