On some rare occasions, I will get someone that sounds interested and wants to learn more.   Where do you point someone like this?   Going forward, one place I will be sending this people is Domaining 101.   While this post is very basic, it does a great job of providing many of the essentials a domainer needs to get started.

If you are a new domainer and are looking at investing in ccTLD’s, there are some things you need to look into. Here are two things I look at before investing in a ccTLD:

  1. How well has the country adopted their country code? – There are a few ccTLD’s that have really gone over well with their country, while many others no one really uses. For example, a lot of people invested in China’s country code when it was released and it didn’t take very well there. India is one that seems to be doing well.
  2. How much does this ccTLD cost to register/renew? I’ve read about some costing as much as $500.00 a year to register/renew, so you’ll want to factor this into your decision on whether to invest or not.

I’ve also thrown together a list of domain suffixes for your reference and the country they are associated with. More ccTLD are becoming available every year (.me due out soon), so I will do my best to keep this list updated:

So, what does this baby do?  This domain allows you to select text anywhere in your web browser, then right-click (or CTRL+SHIFT+D) to search for that phrase on your favorite domain registrar, including sites like Moniker and GoDaddy.   This extension also comes with a preference menu so you can edit out top-level domains that you aren’t interested in.

Here are a few screenshots provided by the author:

Moniker Lookup

I don’t register much anymore off the public registry, but I’ve given this extension a try and think it is pretty useful!   I will definitely be keeping it installed in my browser.

According to the author, this spreadsheet entitles you to the following benefits:

——————–

——————–

- Number of domains in each sale.
- Domain Name(s)
- Price (what i paid for it)
- Sold Price
- Profit ($)
- ROI (%)
- MarketPlace (where i sold it, ex: Sedo, NamePros, etc..)
- MarketPlace Section (ex: Sedo auction, Sedo “counter offer” ,Fixed Price (forum), etc..)
- Type (if available, ex: LLLL.com, Generic Domain, etc..)
- Notes (ex: if renewed, etc..)

——————–
It Also calculate *(Totals for) :
——————–
- Number of sold domains
- Price (what i paid for it)
- Sold Price
- Profit ($)
- ROI (%)

* So you can always know what it’s the total ROI or profit for each extension.

——————–
Averages of
——————–
- Profit per domain.
- Sold Price per domain.

It is free, so check it out!

If you’ve been wanting to know more about what domain registrars there are out there, or even get information such as features, rates, and location, look no further than this post on Ohashi.info.

cjcbentld for $8.49 .name
gdp0119d for $6.20 .net
cjcbentld for $12.74 .mobi
gdp0131pl for 1.99 .info

Here are a few others that I know of:

BLAUGH – 10% off
BTPS7 – 20% any order of $50 or more
BTPS4 – 10% off anything
CHILL1 – 10% off
CHILL2 – $5 off a $30 purchase
