First congrats
As I saw you bought it because it's belong to your name. Nickname or surname, so it's perfect
But a 15k$ for croc, why u saw it your dream domain at the dotio extension and what is your real plans for it.
My name is basil, and I paid 200$ for (basil.me), renewing it every year for 15$ bucks, still no any problem for me.
We are more domainers than developers and still we found ourself love some of our domain names very much.
I would pay 15k$+ for basil.com and I'm very happy, its my name, product, green, and can be used for many different ideas. And resell it too
the real meaning of Dream domain and to be honest you can find it at namepros.com in a title of a thread with hundreds of reposts
Ex. Of the members answers below:
Love.com, business.com sex.com design.com job.com Top.com travel.com x.com etc.
So a Dream domain: should be a very valuable domain name and 99.9% dotcom
in your situation with croc.io you can say I just finally got the domain I really want and I'm thrilled , it's can be a dream domain too, but for only u.
What I mean in (for only you), that if you paid the 15k$ in this domain, only to resell it, so I hope that your dream not go through a nightmares day by day.
in Domain trading even if you are with a very big budget plus you have the experience you need to think 100 times before you put a 15k$ in a non-dotcom domain.
*** Again I can be right, I can be wrong ***
So from the deep heart congrats to you
