Serious question, is it even possible for the so-called "little guy" or "mom and pop" to acquire one of the new domains coming out?
If so, how? during the last group of .tech, etc, the land-grab was incredibly quick.
Say there is a new .petstore domain, how can mom and pop buy theirs before Acme Inc mass purchases them all. (Pick any major city.bike, for example, and it has already been snatched up by places like Domainsales.com)
- alexkehr 12y agoYea, it's pretty easy to get a good new domain. You can use pre-registration on sites like name.com and they basically compete with bigger companies on your behalf. The second a new domain name becomes available, they do everything in their power to be the winning registrar and get you the domain name you pre-registered. A place like Domainsales.com is probably putting in pre-registrations on a lot of registrars, which increases their chance of winning the name because they then have multiple registrars trying to acquire the same domain name for them.
