Ask yourself the following question and be honest when answering:
When an end user contacts you or when you’re negotiating with another domainer, do you act based on pretty much nothing more than your intuition/gut feeling or do you use strategies that have efficiency-related research behind them in a consistent manner?

Today, I’d like to refer to what I consider the main advantage/disadvantage of dot coms as well as to the main advantage/disadvantage of new gTLDs. Again, this is just an opinion, nothing more.
The “dot coms vs new gTLDs” comparison is extremely complex and there are a lot of variables involved, I will try to refer to as many of them as possible in the future but for today, I’ll just focus on what I consider the main advantage + disadvantage in each case.
Nothing more, nothing less.

If only I would have invested in domains back in 1996.
If only I would have bought some xyz stocks when they were 50x cheaper.
If only I would have… you get the point.

Think this topic doesn’t belong on a domaining blog?
Think again.
This is something that affects all of you because what most domainers don’t understand is that from a health perspective, what we do for a living is quite dangerous. It may sound weird since, after all, it’s not like we’re involved in extreme sports, activities which involve explosions and so on.

When selling to end users, I agree that psychological pricing makes sense. Lots of studies have proven that if you price something at for example $1.99 as opposed to $2, consumers will perceive the price as being closer to $1 despite the fact that it’s actually just a cent away from the 2 dollar value.

If you’re selling a domain on the reseller market and double your money, you did well. Yet as strange as it may seem, the same thing cannot be said if your business model revolves around passive end user sales.
Why? I’ll try to explain.

I’ll be sharing 5 GoDaddy coupons with you guys today, two of them only work for customers from the US or Canada but the remaining three should work worldwide.
Didn’t use any of them myself, so I can’t make any guarantees unfortunately.

This issue doesn’t receive a lot of exposure despite the fact that especially at the beginning of the Internet’s new gTLD journey, it’s reasonably important/relevant.

In my opinion yes but the same thing can be said about a lower quality dot com.
Let’s assume you want to launch a website about furniture. Furniture.com would obviously be the best possible domain but most companies (the overwhelming majority) definitely can’t afford it.

As a domainer, I firmly believe that new gTLD operators would have a lot to gain by being as transparent as possible when it comes to the renewal fees and predictability is equally important in my opinion.
Let me explain why.
