analysis GTLDs spotted ! Exposure brings value

[Alessandro Couteau]

I was watching TV the other day, and to my surprise, I saw a new .extension GTLD being marketed on television : and not just low traffic local channels, I am talking about universal exposure ... The premiere trailer for the release of the new marvel film,

Morbius

Honestly, I cannot say I know anything about Morbius

But I like the fact that a GTLD was used to market and advertise the release

Morbius.movie

~

which brings me to this - I’d like to create this “newsworthy thread” to allow others (wether you are a .com investor or new .extension investor) to post GTLDs they see publicly advertised or out in the open - pics are great too !

Sure, I see these pretty frequently nowadays in the US.

The other day I saw a .solutions name on a work truck for some local company. I forget the specific URL, but it was an exact match of their company name.

.church seems to be somewhat popular

The ngtlds really open up the possibilities of finding an affordable domain. Fact is, .com is less important than ever. Nice to have in some cases, but totally unnecessary nowadays. (And this is coming from a guy who has had a portfolio made up mostly of .com's for nearly 20 years now)

Pssst. Sssssshhhhhhh...just seen one in the wild.

There's a very cheesy yet successful advertising campaign that has maybe stretched for 10 years for a UK based insurance comparison website, namely - GoCompare .com

Now, they have pivoted to a new GTLD - Go.Compare

They are becoming more mainstream IMHO and I know they're notdotcom but I for one like them. They're different and they are used by people WhoAreThinkingOutsideThe.Box

Rgrds,

Redd

Going to self-quote a post I made for another thread for this. Same deal, watching TV and..

A few nights ago we put on a Netflix film, believe it was "The Protege". In the introductory portion where the studios responsible make their appearance, there was

Millenium.
Media

and displayed exactly like that (in their logo and colouring). Notice the placement of the dot? Of course first thing I thought was, dam that's their DN! The line break between the name and extension was interesting, but quite a clever way to brand because while being a domain name, it didn't necessarily display that way.

They currently have the name forwarded to the .ca match.

I actually have an entire bookmark folder filled with examples that I used to diligently "favorite". Here's another, using .buzz and they have it prominently displayed on their trucks:

Mosquito.Buzz

Great pairing, attuned to the business service.

The whole Crypto & NFT Industry uses primarily non .com's
Opensea.io does over a billion USD a month as the top market for NFTS
ETH uses a .org worth hundreds of billions
Tron used .network and is mega billions

So most new mega billion companies have sprouted without .com

I've seen Cadillac TV commercials where they tell you to visit Cadillac.live

I see it takes you to a page where you can talk to a Cadillac sales rep.

The reason .com:s are so popular is for two reasons.

1. They make up the vast majority of the popular web, and is therefore thought of as the standard (it's often assumed that a company uses the .com extension).
2. Their register- and renewal prices are heavily regulated.

Every new attempt to launch a new gTLD has had its controversies. It's often not in order to provide end-users with new opportunities, but to make as much money as possible from those gullible enough to invest in these extensions.

It also doesn't help that a lot of malware sites tend to use the alternatives due to their accessibility, which have hurt the reputation of non-.com:s.

Nobody takes seriously all these new extensions. Only dreaming domainers reg and buy them for resale or for collection. And large IT corporations register them for fun. Example: abc.xyz etc.
Even startups, if they finally succeed, run to look for .com
A good .com domain is prestigious.

 

[Fancy.domains]

I see it rather often nowadays.

.SHOP seems kind of popular. Two examples I have seen this week is: www.one.shop (Mixed Martial Arts) and www.robertos.shop (Italian food in Sweden).

@Alessandro Couteau and everyone else, can you please put some context behind the post? I would have liked to track this thread but getting spammy with just inputting a domain link. I have thousands of new gTLD websites I could just put here in that case.

For example, where did you see the domain advertised or out in the open; media ad, building, truck, billboard, fair, theatre, shirt etc.

Impossible to predict market with only 37 years of history ^ we may not even have domain .extensions 10 years from now

Gotta think ahead

Technology-wise, 37 years old is impressive and there's a lot to glean from it! To use for thinking ahead.

I saw this advert on mainstream TV yesterday, their domain is bip.credit.

I'm pretty sure the version of the advert that they had on TV included their domain name.

 

[bamboozle]

Saw a video ad for a food composting product. Domain was pela.earth!

.com has the best resale value however and likely always will

[poweredbyme]

I saw a few TV ads like that. nTLD's are slowly being popular. Not only on TV, I also noticed some local businesses in my city using nTLD's.

Dot OOOOOOOOOO
Saw an ad on tv or somewhere few months back.. and I still remember the URL. Maybe that worked, or maybe I was a bit into domain game so the weirdness remained in my head this long.

 

[Name Trader]

Cadillac.live redirects to http://live.cadillaccanada.ca/ I don't think Cadillac are a Canadian company, and it doesn't resolve.

 

[Start]

Oh it works for me.

I guess you're not in Canada?

It looks like they set it up so that it only works for people who are in Canada. I'm sure they must have a Canadian corporation under the US parent, because many/most GM dealerships here sell Cadillacs too.

I see two everyday.
