Are my domain names good? What are they worth? - YourGTA - 17.04.2013
Hello, I'd like to know what you think of the following domain names I own, and how much you think they can potentially go for?
www.Ford.pm
www.Night.pm
www.Messenger.pm
www.Aldi.pm
www.Webdesigns.pm
Thanks!

Not much because of the .pm ending. However, if they were a .com or .net they could go for thousands. Except the Ford domain, Ford (The car company) just has to send an email to ICANN and ICANN will yank that domain from you and give it to Ford at no cost because it is considered "Domain Squatting".

One russian long ago, when ****** came out. They registered a ******.something domain, and ****** was forced to buy it for millions.
That's illegal if they gank it from you.

It's the same thing like picking a unique username on a game, but this 'username' is for the whole internet. Say, if you want to make a ****** domain. It has to be like www.******4123asdaj34k234.com because lots are probably already taken. These are actually unique names, but the .pm can set it back to a few hundred bucks.

.pm is pretty worthless really.
I'd say the bulk of, if not all wealthy names have been taken.

Ah okay. Also bought
www.Night.pm
www.MSN.pm

.pm doesnt seem like a worthy domain choice. not sure if they will have any worth in the eyes of companies.

I think pretty useless to buy .pm domains because it's not a known TLD. Except if you are a Perl developer and want to have a funny domain name like mymodule.pm. There are a lot of domains you can get on less used TLDs. And also, MSN.pm is worth nothing anymore, buy Skype.pm instead haha

I advise you not to buy anymore .pm domains, I don't think anyone would be interested in them really. The domain people actually care about is .com, maybe .net sometimes. .co.uk can also be fairly worthy in the UK, .us I don't believe is popular in America.

Also ICANN can and does have power over all domains at anytime. In theory, they just have to snap their fingers and they can do whatever they want.
