discuss China's domain name industry

[GuoYongan]

I have to say that china's domain name industry is very important. Because of the difference of lingustic, some valueless domain name that in a english speaking man may have great value in china's domain name market. so english speaking investors should put eyes in china's market.

 

[JayT]

Are traditional Chinese speakers more likely to know more pinyin than mainland?

 

[ctmixing]

Eh, it's dangerous to be Chinese on Namepros - you are going to be swamped by "please apprise xxxx" and "what does xxxx mean" posts and PMs

Of course. It's better to ask questions to someone who speaks chinese than some investor who dont!

 

[NameAgency]

In my opinion, it would be better to post all questions publicly in the thread rather than PM, even the silly ones . We all can learn from each others.

Very very well said. :D:D:D I learned this lesson and found a solution by charging a fee for private consulting. Some people don't want to reveal their domain names even though I don't include domain extension in my answers, so as a result I get some pocket money.

You guys are like women. You don't know what you want. You just want to have it.

Chinese domaining is NOT new, so westerners trying to get the 'jump' on the locals in the Chinese name space is hilarious.

I'm seeing a lot of people hand regging total rubbish and others who are going to get eaten alive on the aftermarket.

Aren't you the same guy that's selling and probably hand reg'd ( please correct me if I'm wrong)
Best-Drain-Cleaning.com? "I see a lot of people hand regging total rubbish" I think was your quote above. Have a nice day.

 

[Meyada]

Caifu88.com is reg'd in China already so you're correct! We have 8spx.com ( "spx" is the worldwide symbol for the S@P 500 )

How about gdsczzdotcom? Do you deal in such?

Hi not sure what you mean? Unless you mean the gold index?

 

[Rick Ace]

If China has about 1.380 billion people, the rest of the world has about 5.745 billion people. While China is important, let's not forget about the bigger picture here. :D

Hi and thank you for sharing your expertise.

I have a friend who visited China and noticed that some of the internet users are using an interface of some kind. Something that converts non-accented PINYIN lettering into PINYIN words with some kind of drop down menu that lets you choose the right accents since words like "Ma" can mean different things (mother, horse, etc.).

Can you explain this further?

BACKGROUND:
- I know its still early but I registered Chinese PINYIN IDN domains (single words) like Wáng (surname) and Ài.

Im glad you mentioned 2345.ch I dont think a lot of westerners know that and we own names like Caifu.ch (wealthy) FangChan.ch (real estate) 88x.ch A Chinese broker thought that .ch "has future potential in China" ( his words)

 

[LucidDomains]

How about this one?

8x8x8x8x8.com

 

[jagathks]

Is .host domains are valuable?

Among your LLNN names, I particularly like WG37.com because WG is very versatile. It can represent many Chinese characters, such as 万购 (ten thousands of purchase), 外国 (foreign country), 武功 (Kung Fu), 王冠 (imperial crown), 王国 (kingdom), 玩够 (I have enough in this game), 网购 (Internet buying), and many more. This name can be used in many industries.

MF97.com is also attractive, because it can mean 美房 (beautiful home), a great name for those in the real estate business.

I know LLNNs are not worth much, but I believe they have great potential because LL matches Chinese companies' preference for 2-character names. Even foreign companies such as Microsoft and Google use 2-character Chinese names. So LLN and LLNN good second choice when LL is too expensive.

I'll stick to .com for end user purpose.

I don't think these are valuable in any language.

Thanks a lot for devoting time and replying. Honestly, these were random buying to test the water. If I can get any good return on them would be great.

I think the time for LLNN has not come yet. It's a long term investment.

 

[WhoaDomain.com]

VN99.com
PKR888.com

whenever I think of LLNN.com's I always refer back to finding these 2 websites using similar combos.

Also what about the IDN.IDN market?

.在线 = .Online
.中文网 = .Website
.中国 = .China

When I think about thee extensions above I always reference this interview back in 2014

http://www.domainsherpa.com/simon-cousins-tldregistry-interview/

I've spoken to Chinese domain brokers from one of the domain marketplaces in China. He said that these domains weren't worth anything no matter what was to the LEFT of the dot.

Then of course I end up referencing this article.

http://onlinedomain.com/2014/12/22/...n-name-sales-in-2014-baltic-cruises-eat-club/

The Top 10 list of highest IDN New gTLDs (includes prices that are related to domain packages including the keyword in different variations):
游戏.在线 25,388 US-Dollar games.online
赌场.在线 25,000 US-Dollar casino.online
房地产.在线 16,000 US-Dollar realestate.online
租赁.在线 15,500 US-Dollar rent.online
比特币.在线 14,388 US-Dollar bitcoin.online
房地产.中文网 10,000 US-Dollar realestate.website
俱乐部.在线 7,100 US-Dollar club.online
名表.在线 6,400 US-Dollar look.online
销售.在线 5,588 US-Dollar sell.online
优惠.在线 4,100 US-Dollar offer.online

it's all just confusing. One person says one thing and another says another thing.

have things changed? I recall Kassey Lee mentioned that IDN.IDN is a definite competitor for Chinese numerics.

Still waiting for the 411 Kassey! lol Thanks!

Guo Yongan? your opinion and advice and knowledge would be greatly appreciated to explain all of this.

discuss?

Thanks!

 

[Aspiring Billionaire]

if you domainers have questions about chinese or china's domain name market , please send emails to me

Hi GuoYongan.

In your opinion, would you say that there is a market in China for VR dot-coms? For example, VRabc.com or VR123.com? I ask specifically relating to the letters VR in the Chinese domains, because VR is an abbreviation for English words?

Thank you for your time.

Regards
Clint.

China is officially the new wild wild west. anything goes pretty much.
so don't let it stress you.

just reference that VN99.com sale of $10,000
The V stands for the Venetian in Macau. a casino.

Hi and thank you for sharing your expertise.

I have a friend who visited China and noticed that some of the internet users are using an interface of some kind. Something that converts non-accented PINYIN lettering into PINYIN words with some kind of drop down menu that lets you choose the right accents since words like "Ma" can mean different things (mother, horse, etc.).

Can you explain this further?

BACKGROUND:
- I know its still early but I registered Chinese PINYIN IDN domains (single words) like Wáng (surname) and Ài.

ok, in chinese language, there are four tones. which makes that one "ma" can corresponding to many chinese worlds. and that chinese is a kind of hieroglyph, one chinese word have one meaning. the same "ma" (mathor) and "ma"(horse) look samilar in chinese,"妈" "马"，but their meaning are very different.
