Buyer beware, as for new Top-Level Domains, they are stuffed with $1 registrations. It’s interesting how Epik and Dynadot, also NamePros sponsors are stacked heavy with .TOP and .XYZ domains particularly too.
NameSilo Registrations:
xyz: 405k 32%
top: 193k 15%
buzz: 153k 12%
monster: 124k 10%
icu: 65k 5%
—
TOTAL = 74% of all their nTLDs
vs. industry averages:
xyz: 10%
top 9%
buzz 2%
monster 0.5%
icu 16%
—
TOTAL = 27%
Something’s a miss. They’ll say they promoted these extensions, perhaps why they are lopsided compared to every other (non namepros) registrar? Well, if they promoted them to get this suspicious registrations, how did that work out? And how honest are these ‘assets’ in the first place?
Tell me savvy domainer investors whom they target with promotions bought all these particular $1 domains?
