"Who's got a .co"

Hi,

I'm just interested in the take-up of the new .co

Who here has ordered theirs? Why did you decide to get one (or more)?

Neil

Freeola could donate www.hmmm.co to me - it is nearly a Freeola tribute site after all!

This could be part of the 'VIP/Affiliate' package I've been waiting a few years for ;¬)

Aye it is. I'm happy to continue taking that bait as long as I still work here ;) Passes the day, and keeps us on our toes.

I think it will be bigger than those particular domains, just for the hype this time round. But you never really can tell.

Hi Warhunt - I'm always joshing! :¬) Freeola baiting


You should see the budget I'm having to work with!

Having the .com/co.uk 'set' has normally been ok for what I do.
I'll see how .co pans out I think.
.eu and .info didn't really take off (in my eyes) even though I do have a couple so I'll wait to see if .co does the same.

I can recommend ip3.co.uk to everyone :¬)

EDIT: I see freeola.co is now working.

I assume the larger community would probably agree with you Hmmm.... but the facts are in the figures. This .co launch has been very popular.

Luke was meaning that freeola.co specifically is just another domain I think, rather than otherwise. But still I think you are just joshing so I'll leave the point there ;) (Phrase, dog/bone applies I think)

I got to admit though, I thought you would have got a couple of your own key ones. Just because.....

It's probably the number one reason for people registering new .co....to stop others getting them first.

A co.uk with Freeola is £8.99 + VAT for two years against £37.99 + VAT for a .co - quite a difference!

I do appreciate it's not just Freeola who are charging high rates for .co :¬)

...what hype? - as LukeM told me "it's just another domain" ;¬)


I have 130 domains with Freeola at the moment. Most of my clients stick with co.uk and .com - it will be interesting to see what they make of .co :¬)

[s]Hmmm...[/s]

They're not that bad! .net's were expensive when they launched, (.com don't really count, as they were first). I suspect the registry may reduce the prices as time passes. Can't blame them for profiteering on the back of all the hype!

Why are they so expensive?

I always think .info is over priced - .co is even worse :¬(










[s]Hmmm...[/s]

It'll be interesting to see where .co goes. At the moment it's proving popular and the registry is reporting that the number of .co's registered after launch has already exceeded the number of pre-orders. 250000 registered so far! I'd recommend trying to secure you .co's if the domains are vaguely popular.

Thanks for your advice Hmmm ^__^

@LukeM

Too late!
I've gone with your "it's just another domain" reply and will be sticking with the traditional co.uk and .com TLDs :¬P


NB. I can recommend using a 301 redirect which can be setup with a couple of clicks within MyFreeola.
