As early as July 18, the dudo blog published an article on domain name investment: .co domain names will be open for registration soon, and there are many good ways to choose domain names. Later, a separate article introduced more detailed methods and special precautions in .co domain name application notes. (To register a .co domain name, I first need GoDaddy.com. Of course, I am good at name.com, Yahoo domain names, etc., but I never recommend using domestic domain name registrars to register). If you have a good .co domain name in your hand, take it well, it will appreciate in value at an accelerated rate.
1. The .co domain name is growing at an alarming rate
On November 9, 2010, the BBC published an article Colombian domain challenges .com. The article stated that the number of .co domain name registrations would be 600,000 by November 2010, and could reach 3 to 5 million registrations in the next 3 to 5 years. Will become the biggest challenger to the .com domain name.
Recently, DN Journal, a well-known domain name industry news magazine, published an article titled The Juan Diego Calle Story: How the .CO CEO is Turning a Seldom Used ccTLD Into a Booming Global Brand. The article introduced the operation of .co domain names. and current development status.
2. The .co domain name has been widely used
The Chinese people's love for the .cn domain name can be described as fanaticism, but you may not know that it took more than two years for the .co domain name to create 600,000 registrations in 6 months. If we look at the top 1 million websites in the world, there are currently 497 .co domain names, while the .cc domain name, which has a history of 13 years and is widely used in China, has only 1911 among the top 1 million domain names. indivual. According to this growth rate, I believe that the proportion of the .co domain name may exceed that of other domain names other than .com and .net.
3. 3-digit domain names were looted
Yes, so far you have found any three-digit or three-letter domain name. This may not mean anything, everyone likes short domain names, especially domain names that are recognized by many people. However, its rapid growth momentum cannot help but force you to cover your pockets, hold on to the .co domain name in your hand, and do not sell it prematurely.
4. The .co domain name has huge potential for appreciation.
On June 21, 2010, the well-known domain name trading agency Sedo.com and the .co registration agency completed the auction of e.co. The auction price was US$81,000, approximately RMB 550,000. Later, 0.co was auctioned for a high price of US$350,000. For more .co domain name performance prices, please refer here.
The transaction situation of domestic .co domain names is also quite optimistic. On November 8, 2010, the domain name ha0123.co was sold for 110,000 yuan. Since hao123.co and ha0123.com look very similar, this alone can bring a lot of traffic to it. According to observations, hao123.co has indeed become a copycat website.
5. Undercurrents in the acquisition of .co domain names
Since registering several three-digit .co domain names, I have recently received emails from foreign countries asking for acquisitions. However, these emails are relatively vague. They never mention acquisitions, only about their own domain name collections. In fact, I also like to collect domain names, especially short or one-word ones.
For example:
Good morning
Please can you let me know if this domain is for sale and what the
asking PRice is?
BOF.co
I am just looking for fixed-price domains so I won't me making an offer. I am not paying top dollar as there are plenty of short .co names out there for very low prices.
If you have any other .CO names for sale, please send me the list and prices.
Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you
Regards
To be honest I really want to sell, I'm short of money. However, I can also use it to dock domain names on Sedo.com and still earn income.
In short, hold on to the .co domain name in your hand, it really has huge potential for appreciation. It has only been 6 months since registration began, and we have already seen its charm. When .com becomes saturated, most people will be optimistic about finding a successor to .com. For a long time, people thought that the .cm domain name could do it. However, the disadvantage of the .cm domain name is that it has no specific meaning, while .co can. While it’s still early, register a few more .co domain names.
