    Hello DP community,

    What do you think about this domain name:
    fifa.co

    .co will launch next month so if you want to register such a domain you have to pre-order from now, advise me with your suggestions.


    Thanks ...!!!

    You will lose this domain in less than a week, that is if they will allow you to register it.

    The reason for me saying this is that Fifa is a trademark and they will take this domain from you.

    What Rian said is right.We have to make sure that domains arent of trademarks once we look for a popular word or else, it may be lost in a Nap.

    So the situation comes No money - No domain :D

    Thanks.

    Doing that just means a trademark infringement, and that's never good.

    I'm sure fifa.co has been acquired by FIFA, it just doesn't alert you that it's been reg'd.

    No one answered me till now about this : fifa.me? Does fifa parked it's domain with godaddy?

    Before one year from now I asked about the domain : sitelist.org, here in this DP forum, I was informed that it is cost Reg. Fess, ok guys,BUT just before few days the domain was sold with $750 in sedo, it is not just a matter of a good domain, it is a MATTER for needing for that domain...!!!

    Don't even think of it for two reasons: 1) it's trademark infringement, 2) even if FIFA doesn't get it, some squatter somewhere in the world will.

    Exactly... and you have got to be lucky to find a buyer who badly needs such not-so-fancy names, which 99 % of the time would not happen. :(
    Ideally... one should do investments based on foresight and informed decisions... rather than banking on pure luck! :)

    I think it's worth a TM lawsuit from Fifa.
