“…so, .co is really the only extension that
represents corporation.”

On the basis of your comment, I believe dotPRO is one of the best extensions available for registration. IMHO, better than dotCO. While “pro” is not an abbreviation for the words “company” or “corporation”, it can be used to reference not only corporation and company, but other business forms as well (i.e., LLC, LLP, partnership, limited partnership, association, sole proprietorship, etc.).

Unlike dotLA (Laos), dotTV (Tuvalu), dotCO (Columbia) and dotME (Montenegro), the “PRO” in dotPRO has always stood for professional. No rebranding required, and it’s a member of the same gTLD club as dotCOM, dotNET & dotORG. That’s an advantage.

Well, if they have a plan for the domain
then it is perhaps worth even millions to them.

If you are a wall street company, and you want
to be seen as ‘ Corporation.Co ” , this is called

” appearance ” ..

Just like you would not date an ugly chick…
nobody wants to date .Com

or .US

they want an extension that represents what
they are. A CORPORATION.

so, .co is really the only extension that
represents corporation.

even in 60 years when there is .google and
other extensions.

companies will still be hanging on to .Co
domain names, because it is generic in terms
of the extension.

this is why i am not selling my domain name
Britney.Co for anything less than $810mil

i thought very hard about this .Co extension
trust me, the year is 2080 and we’ll still have
companies buying .Co names altho they could
dotless names by then.

because it has a meaning attached to the core
of MANY countries within which .co means corporation

i will be hanging on to some of my cool names
such as ‘Britney.Co’ until somebody pays $810mil

and not a penny less.

.co = community, corporation… it has some chances there.

…and my guess is “love.co”

@SDM
Good points all.
The #1 problem is that Madison Avenue still doesn’t get what we do. And these guys are sitting on the bank vault. Their present mindset is that they would rather use a completely new URL to track their television commercials instead of sending all that new traffic to their client’s main web site. And they would rather spend a fortune on a 60 day advertising campaign instead of buying a great generic domain that will pipeline traffic to their client for years to come.
However, there is progress being made and, as the Stones would say, time is on our side. Michael and I had a business dinner in Laguna Beach this week with some gentlemen who are interested in branding their new travel company with our Traveler.com. One of them kept asking very pointed questions about the domain industry. He finally told me that he was once an executive in a major advertising firm and said, “Until you explained it to me I had no idea exactly why these names are worth so much. Now I get it.”
Eventually they all will.
