I want to donate a domain name to a homeless charity or a foodbank

[super-whois]

I've just spent my whole life paying for every single god damn one of them.

You're shopping at the wrong supermarket if they charge you to park.

Ah... yes. Supermarket car parks. I avoid them like the plague.

 

[ukbackorder]

The guy is a complete troll pointless replying anymore

Well it gives us something to do in our final few days

 

[platey]

Free car parks!

Have I been missing something here?
I've just spent my whole life paying for every single god damn one of them.

Can someone please... just tell me where the free ones are. FFS

I have the tech concept for free car parks which is why I bought the free car car parks .com website address but I can't be bothered etc I prefer watching people pay to park knowing if I made my concept a reality they wouldn't need to

 

[ukbackorder]

And this is why you have failed, and will continue to fail, in the domain industry. 'Can't be bothered' Keep telling yourself thats why you have to go to work.

Oh no... If only there were a .co.uk website that allowed us to find paid/free car parks!

well I hope he is.

I think he is deadly serious IMO.

I think is somewhat amusing that if .co.uk and .UK domains are the only domains etc investors that only buy .co.uk and .UK domains can't buy .crypto or .wallet .coin .nft .888 domains because they are Blockchain domains which are n gtlds eg Blockchain gtlds etc which obviously most .co.uk .UK domain name investors won't understand or refuse to acknowledge the existence of etc? most domain name investors couldn't name 10 new gtlds I could probably name 50 fairly easily - people forget that domain name investing is purely about buying domains for investment and not selling

If a gtld can't be named, is it a worthwhile gtld? Surely part of the value is having something known and desirable to others?

If you don't ever sell, it's not an investment you've just bought something.

If you don't ever sell, it's not an investment you've just bought something.

some of the most premium land in London is owned and most likely will never be sold even though houses are built on it etc people just accept they buy 100 year lease and they can sell the lease but will never own the land because it will never be for sale etc which has proven a great investment for the landowner

Therein lies your problem: your average UK business owner / member of public couldn't name one gtld. Most will have heard of .co.uk....

You realise the landowners make money from the land? You making money from your investments? Your responses are becoming more and more puerile.

So they do sell, albeit temporarily, through a lease.

thats the problem because if the average business owner doesn't know or understand gtlds chance's are a gtld will be infringing their trademark or copyright etc and they would be none the wiser

the property not the land

 

[RB5]

the property not the land

So in this case the website has value and the domain is worthless?

 

[ukbackorder]

What do you do for a living platey? Curious.

 

[platey]

So in this case the website has value and the domain is worthless?

the website cannot exist without the domain the domain is the land the website is the property etc a domain doesn't need a website but a website cannot exist without a domain

 

[RB5]

the website cannot exist without the domain the domain is the land the website is the property etc a domain doesn't need a website but a website cannot exist without a domain

So, how does this analogy of yours show the value of gtlds?

 

[platey]

So, how does this analogy of yours show the value of gtlds?

because I understand new gtlds and have owned many new gtlds and seen the traffic to the gtlds etc when I buy a domain I know before typing a domain in to a domain search engine whether the second keyword of a two keyword domain name is a gtld extension etc so when I see domain name portfolios of investors etc I go down the list and that's a new gtld etc etc but basically a gtld is global same as a .com example my 00.solar new gtld etc not many domain names will rank better organically in google search globally for the search term solar than 00.solar
