.ASIA domains??

[holographicka]

Hi All,

just wondering people's opinions on .asia domains? I have some that are pretty good, single word domains.

Thanks!

Junk, probably only the very best of any worth at all.

.asia has been a disaster for domainers just like every other new extension. Early on is typically peak prices. Don't look at the weird stuff where a couple of of corporates have bidded high to protect their trademarks, that is one time event. cars.asia, $3350, that told the story back then (still not good even at the peak), and the story now is far worse than that. I don't think anything of substance has been reported in several years.

Would be early-mid 2008. Right on the start of the domain market bust.

Not worth spending money on unless it's reg fee for a super premium term. See my response in this thread:

They're very hard to sell, my advice is don't bother.

Agree with snoopy and Demonoid, best to avoid if you can.

not a particularly good extension, up there with .me

In fairness to .asia they never set out to target domainers, they have a strategy targeting end users.
