Another Poor 1st Day For This Weeks New gTLDs: .Vision 905; .Report 845; .Fish 542

July 3, 2014 by Michael Berkens

Three new gTLD’s went into their first day of general availability yesterday and it was another underwhelming week.

The totals include Sunrise registration and those domains registered in the Early Access Program

.Vision 905

.Report 845

.Fish 542

A total of less than 2,500 for the three strings

However especially in .vision there were quite a few premium domain names with registration and annual renewal prices of $400 or more that got registered including 2020.vision,  double.vision and perfect.vision.

This is the 4th week in a row where the first day results of new gTLD’s  were in my opinion pretty unimpressive.

The last extension to launch with good numbers was .Expert which had over 9,000 registrations all by itself back on May 15th

.Expert now has over 16,000 registrations.

    I told you…all that hooplaS about new GTLds are dying down or almost DEAD on arrival.
    Back to the basics, BOYS- dot com is KING

    The only domainers who really give a s=hit are those who have a financial interest in them

    I told you so!

    I wouldn’t call it a poor result! It’s still so early and I doubt it would stay that way.Besides if you look at the audience those particular domains target it’s not a surprise. Which people interested in fishing or fish collecting would also be interested in .fish? I doubt many would be. How many of those same people own other domains, not many!

    WHY buy a new TLD domain if the BEST names are already registered or reserved by registries???

    WHY waste money to buy the most stupid and useless names of these TLDs that NEVER may be used or sold?

    over the last few years I have come to realize that the new tld registries will make out handsomely more often than not – but domain investors buying this stuff – DOA as rick and BullS

    Point being for example .info and .mobi registries still make dough – yes ?
