Where do you see domains 100 years from now?

Postby ApeXX on Sun Apr 06, 2008 11:43 am

What do you think the domain market will be like 100 years from now? How many new extensions will there be? Will all of us who invested in domains now be rich?

Personally I hope all of us who jumped on the bandwagon now (or even years ago) will be wealthy in 2108... If we're even alive then! :D

Most of us will be dead by then so who cares about being rich at 100+? :o :shock:

I honestly think it only takes about 10 years for domainers to get rich if they're doing it right...unfortunately, only a handful of domainers live on (most people give up trying after one or two years). I'm going to keep my good domains for as long as I can, and hopefully it does me a favour some day.

HAHA in 100 years, if our heirs continue registering our names, they'll be rich on domain age alone.

My hope is that they soon cut off the extensions. As much as I love the sound of a .web, I hope they don't come out with it because I think it will lower the .com. It's too good of an extension. That said, if there's a landrush, we'll all get the bite of a pretty sweet apple.

Expect a huge surge of registerations in the next 5 years as more and more people catch on to domains - If you think about it, there's really not that many domainers. I look around my surroundings in the US and I doubt more than 1 in 500 people actively register domains beyond their own website purposes.

If you have good domain names, don't sell too fast, and continue the renewals even if nobody buys, you're going to have something very special and unique in 10 years and your ROI will be awesome.
