Maybe from a British perspective (type .co instead of .co.uk), but .COM is an automatic type-in for most of North-Americans. LIke lots of other domainers said on these boards: I just think .co is over-hyped. ps: Maybe Apple lovers will buy them because they look cool...
just another money making opportunity being grasped with some marketing to hype it up look around who is actually talking about it just those who are going to make something from selling you a .co domain just another extension to add to the confusion totally pointless maybe it will take off maybe it wont but i would rather wait and see what develops prime example is .mobi
its short for .columbia as every country has their own domain ending, it will be valued more than .com and .info though which is slightly confusing...
who says ? the marketing gurus ? its not needed i feel sorry for all these people who have to buy one just to protect a name
I think it will take some time for this TLD to settle and though I don't think there's any reason to think it will revolutionize the internet like the advertisement says I do think it will get decent support from the business/commerce segment. I think it will surpass .org and probably .net's but I'm not so sure about it surpassing .com. You might want to wait to pre-register since is a bit expensive now. However pre registry is selling quite well right now. I myself have pre-registered a few domains, some priority ($300 each). No risk, no return. Company, corporation was the first thing I thought when I saw it MAY.CO since 1877 ACME CO. Here's a little insider tip. .co WILL become extremely popular. Demand is higher then you know. If your desired .com domain name is taken and the owner is asking 6 figures for it, you can get the .co for 2 figures ! You save 6 figures for the letter M ! It's a second chance.
Hope that someday they will be selling .co on the same price level as .com. I am also wondering if we can have alter on get .blog extension. I think a .blog would be nice too.
.xxx must be the most sensible extension dreamed up it differentiates all porn sites from normal sites and is wanted by many from people with young vulnerable kids to webmasters what they would like to see is all adult sites on this extension and i couldnt agree more. the most sensible reason for any extension so far not just some dreamboy marketer out to make a fast buck what people want is to be able to block all .xxx sites on parental settings (18+ being changed with an option for .xxx also) problem is some sites are labelled as 18 when they are clearly not what they are calling for is another way and this would be it. I have a daughter who i have had to go to the trouble of allowing kids game sites with no adult content because they are labelled as having adult content after carefully looking at the site there is not one thing on it to warrant that rating.
Ok, Yeah, Cuz the extension is Flaming Friggen Hot now! have you seen the price of gold when that went up a coupla years ago...Every Corner, Every Site, Every commercial - "We Pay Cash for Your Gold". How about when the bears made it to the Superbowl, More people bought that Urlacher jersey then ever...Hype - simple concept- excitement like when I bought my new SS Camaro in 2000...so what, It still is a phenomenal car. I sold it this Winter, and the new buyer is still just as hyped as I was when I got it. Hype for something HOT as Hell will NEVER change. When the masses get emotional over something, price goes up. remember "tickle me Elmo"? LOL
