There has been a huge boom in short domain sales for premier extensions. We see this trend percolating even up to previously less noticed extensions like .biz .mobi .xyz etc.
This trend still seems to be in big howl.
Can we speculate towards demand for LL dot ccTLDs?
Most of them have gone already. Very few remaining in .hn extension. Chinese premium LLs have been bought out in most other extensions.
ccTLDs differ from new gTLDs in some aspects:
1. Most of new gTLDs have premium renewal prices for LL domains which makes them costly
2. Length matters. Why not even on rightside? ccTLDs are shortest extensions known so far.
3. ccTLDs in increasing numbers are being recognized worldwide. .co, .io, .me, .ly have already made impressions. .gg, .in, .cn, .cc are continuing the trend. If domain is ultra-short (say L/N or LL/NN), there can be scope for lesser known ccTLDs also.
4. Chinese govt keeping eye on gTLDs should be seen with caution. ccTLDs can make use of smaller registries to turn away from hawks.
Views are personal. Other opinions are welcome.
