Reply to: New domains

[vwdan]

I've taken a punt on a handful that somebody may want to buy, but we'll see. I'm not convinced that they'll take off too much.

Not any more! But i do have such fond memories of Bob sending through a barely intelligible query/statement and then a followup 30 minutes later demanding 'please revert soonest'.

Would 'Please pervert soonest' have suited you better ??

Are you a technical author at Lloyds by any chance ????

But amazon.com/co.uk is hardly difficult to remember or type. Aren't people going to find the new domains MORE confusing?

Exactly, just because you can do something, doesn't mean it's a good idea.

I expect it'll just create a massive opportunity for phishing sites to set up pretending to be something legimate. How long before the wail is full of grannies who fell for;

'please be inputting your account details at www.barclays.bank/logon for soonest updates'.

What's £200k in comparison to Amazons marketing budget?!

It's £180k application fees and estimated total costs of around $1 mln over few years of running apparently ... and it's yours!

I wonder if they will. It just seems a waste to buy not a domain but a whole set of them!

Some will keep to their own, like say .amazon and a few others - for them it's very cheap price to get their own gTLD.

Can anyone who buys a gTld domain then sell hosting on it?

Aye.

If they can be any length, I'm grabbing a .floccipaucinihilipilification one before all the snappiest all go!
