Single Dictionary Word (.ASIA)

    Hi,

    What would be worth of any .asia domain having just one dictionary word? Today I was searching some domains and found out that some very good generic single word .asia domains are available.
    Any idea of their worth or they are worthless that's why available for registration.

    Thanks

    depends on the word..the problem is it is unclear how .asia will go it might be a flop like .eu but if its not a flop then it may be worth buying those domains.

    Here are some words as an example:

    song.asia
    songs.asia

    Both are available. Now what's your opinion.

    actually, not all registrars are showing accurate results as to what is available or not for .asia. One reason is some of the top words have yet to be auctioned, so nobody actually owns it yet. To be sure, do a whois first on the domain.

    I doubt they are avalible to be honest, I found a good word it said that it was avalible on moniker.com I bought it but I still have not recieved confimation. Also .asia seems to be a bit of a scam to be honest anyway...

    you can try and buy those two domains they will for sure increase in value or any other domain like that, however I don't think you will be able to get them.

    Yes I am also a bit skeptical as to how come these words are still available. But I did whois and they were available. Also some of the names were "Community Reserved Name" and they were not available for registration.

    OK turns out the domains are actually not available. I mean WTF! :mad:
    When I checked WHOIS from http://www.registry.asia/cgi-bin/whois.cgi it said the domains are available but when I went to GoDaddy for registration none of the single words I was looking for are available. And they do not show WHOIS information!! I mean they say no WHOIS is available! :|
    Also checked from DynaDot, domains not available and they also show a blank page when checking whois.

    They're most likely domains that will go to auction. The .asia company hasn't handled this too well, all registrars are reporting bad info. So far I've gotten the best results from Moniker though.

    Other than the top 50-100 searched keywords, health, news, sports, etc.... I would not gamble on these.
