.domains TLD

[Brassneck]

Anybody going to register anything on .domains TLD?

I've seen at least one member here using one to redirect to their main site.

I think what devalues a name is the amount of permutations of the domain message that can be registered.
So obviously the longer the word or the more ambiguous the message the more variations of that name can be registered. ( hence why one word exacts can be expensive )

With the new circa 1000 extensions it increases the permutations to such an extent that they will rarely be resalable. This of course is something that has not dawned on the uninitiated yet, but will do in the years to come.

In the future quality co.uk/uk and .com domains will rise in value as a result of the zillions of other names with unrecognised extensions which will become worthless in the reseller market.

.net is a great example.

So no not for me.

Having a domain extension than refers to domains sounds odd to me. Reminds me of a Douglas Adams quote: "I think a nerd is a person who uses the telephone to talk to other people about telephones. And a computer nerd therefore is somebody who uses a computer in order to use a computer."

I don't think everything has to be put in terms of whether something is resaleable. Most businesses won't consider their domain as something that is likely to be something of so much value.

I'm not going to register any but I can see why if your business is call 'acme domains' then you might be interested in using acme.domains.
