When I checked for domain names to registered under Famous Four;s extensions I found almost everything was reserved, however Famous Four does not do premium priced registration/renewal domain names.
.Tech does offer premium priced registration and renewal domains so probably has a much small reserved domain list although many of its super premium domain names are being held by the registry such as High.tech and Bio.Tech
Got just one .tech domain (OnCall) but the premium pricing on the most keywords is crazy. Even for words that dont go well with “tech” are priced very high. Mine was reg fee but fee that is the only one I will get unless they let loose some of that pricing.
What value would you put on high.tech, bio.tech or top.tech?
Groovy
I grab 2 to make it short and brandable names.
Hii.Tech
Mii.Tech
I like the .win extension, perhaps I’m feeling lucky.
