How good is .Name ?

    Currently I own a very awesome domain .Name, Do you think this .Name extension is good or no? Is the price good or no if we compare with .Net or .Org?

    I think they are pretty much useless. I still haven't seen a decent website with .name. Until public recognizes it as a legitimate TLD, I don't think they are going to be worth anything. But if you have a really good one, just hold on to it for a few years and see where it goes.

    .name is probably just as worthless as .ws

    Unless you have a super premium .name, like business.name or something to that effect, it's really not worth it.

    If you have a strong keyword with .name than its ok but check the list of expiring domains for .name and you create an idea about its value :)

    good luck

    .name is really bad


    if you got

    domain.name
    my.name
    best.name
    buy.name
    Premium.name

    if you own a premium domain .name yes

    No.

    No, it's absolutely shocking & can't be compared to the other 2 extentions

    Nope, not IMO

    I'll just say something, if you see a domain in closeout section 99% it's a dead investment :) because it's monitored by thousands of experts if it was a really good one, they would directly bid on expiring domains section.. Only the useless domains can be found in closeouts.. But there are sometimes exceptions :rolleyes:

    Personally, I only stick with .com and I have a few .info. But what I've seen the last month or so is that backlinks is what really makes a site an authority site. I am finding more and more .info sites at the top of Google. The other day I was blown away to find a .us site at #1 on Google. A .us site; I never thought I'd see that, but I did. I'd say to build that .name site into a great site and maybe your .name site can be at the top for your chosen keywords too. Good luck with your testing.
