Domain Investment - Series of New Evolutions and Developments


New Development in Domain Industry

Awareness of internet is becoming wider and broader almost on daily basis, and high population of people are turning to internet, because they are now seen internet as a borderless market, where they could take their business to the near and afar foreign nations, for known and unknown customers for broad expansion and easier patronage. And many of the web marketers have extended and effective home services for their customers.

Domain Industry has being in existence for some few decades now, those who are interested in domain business are getting more keenly interested, and series of revolutions have happened time without numbers. 

In line with all of the above concepts in place; and because the generic domain names are no longer available for millions of startups, who are eagerly willing to go online; but could not find any good domain names for their online presence; is one of the major reasons among others that compelled the ICANN to look for the means of widening the online space, and thus the emergence of New Generics Top Levels Domain (NewGTLDs), in order to accommodate thousands of the new startups’ web shops presence online. 

And In 2014 ICANN began the release of thousands of NGTLDs into the market; but before then, applications were collected from hundreds of applicants, who applied for the new extensions as registrars; including the renowned online giants – Google, Amazon, and many others as such.

At first, when the ICANN initiated the idea of NewGTLDs; there were lots of mixed fillings among domain investors, to the extents that, many were saying the new innovation was not likely to work out; that the internet market may become saturated for too many new TLDs/ extensions, and that, such is likely to cause confusion as there will be too many related names availabilities in the market. For example: abc.com, abc.nyc, abc.xyz, abc.xxx, abc.club, abc.onl, etc. etc.

Honestly, in my own views, too many extensions are been released at the same time into the market and looks ridiculous. However, this innovation is the major reason behind many online giant companies, including Google to have registered many domains and it seems; is also giving them sleepless night and could be reason why they are working on both days and nights for fear of domain hacking, as it could cause problem for them. In my own view; I belief it is the main reason why they have bought and registered many new domains within 2015 alone; they have established abc.xyz and alphabet.xyz as their major Urls and possibly for security. 

Recently, you are aware they have acquired some series of names, like abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz.com etc. You may also agree with me that many new NGTLDs released at almost the same time are too many for the online market; compared with the numbers of people on internet and many more are still coming in this year. Something like .auto, .bank, ..barcelona etc. Please visit here to see the new extensions coming in this year 2016 alone.

Chinese Domain Investors on NewGTLDs

The Chinese investors on their own way are seriously working hard on short domains on .coms TLD and .cc, .cn, and .wang. But I have not seen much interest in them for NGTLDs as such, but they have soft spot for .top extension 

These scenarios have started around 2014 and many people thought it was a bubble and domainers are because of that selling their virtual properties cheap and as quickly as possible. But just of recent, we are seen more and more networks of domain investors who are ready to invest their last cents on the business to make more wealth; different strategies are adopted to make money and so also every western domainers are making money.

What I have seen new, in the domain industry is the different type of business orientation which is now in place; many are now working together with experienced investors and with quite wealthy set of investors. Though, there are still solo types of working scenario like before, but in the recent time, networking of some big time investors are really improving their portfolios. They have seen the possibilities of working together as a joint team to combine experience with wealthy investors with huge sum of money in order to be able to buy something like 4,3,2 and 1, Letters or Numbers; such liquid domains within five and six figures upwards.

As a backup to my writing, just this last week, Ifound an interview conducted by James Iles on a 19 years old boy who is another namepros member with ID @ErwanKina narrated how he and his team had presently starts acquiring some big time domain names with some set of wealthy domain investors. 

Secondly, another investor is Alli Zandi who  also is a new but great domain investor who is also working with some set of wealthy people as a team.

I believe that with networking of wealthy and people of great interest in domain business could soon lead domain investors to rank on forbes list of billionaires in the nearest future.

Cheers.
