Do you mainly hand reg or buy in the aftermarket?

I though it would be interesting to know if people here mainly look to hand reg brand new names or buy in the aftermarket.

Out of your portfolio, post a rough % as to how many names are hand reg & how many are bought in the aftermarket.

 

100% hand reg

 

mostly hand reg but probably more after market in the future if I do buy more.

 

by volume maybe 10-30%, by dollar value, 1-5%

 

99% buy from market
1% hand register

 

Aftermarket - 98%
Hand reg - 2%

 

For me, I would say:

Around 95% hand reg
Around 5% from the aftermarket

 

90% new names
10% after market

 

80% from market

 

99% hand reg
1% after market

 

Great reminding question on what we do.
We do both hand registration is 50%
The drop clubs is 50%
This is because we have been buyong domian names for over 11 years. So we hand registered names a long time ago. If you like to see what we own even thoiugh there are none for sale we do have a nicely organized web site devoted to our company's future building projects like California Weather Authority a project.

We are proud of our list though they are all .com's they are all not the greatest but we love each of them like they were our children.

 

I'm about 50/50 hand reg versus aftermarket. I got on a mailing list that seems to have a pretty good stream of names for sale daily that I keep buying off of.

 

(Hand reg sounds so dirty).

Used to only hang reg, but lately I have been buying in the aftermarket a lot.

60% Hand
40% Aftermarket

But I am actually looking into hang regging about 5 or so .nets in the near future.
