sex.cam -- .cam registry is live

[Barry-xlovecam]

Just a placeholder index for now ... This name is "reserved" for future development.

Premium names will be available at selected registrars soon.
Open registration should be available at most registrars within 90 days.

Awesome guys!

[trevesty]

Very nice.

[AllAboutCams]

Nice whats the price going to be

[CurrentlySober]

is poo.cam a reserved premium name?

[Nicky]

premium names are probably gonna cost too much as usual

[Barry-xlovecam]

I cannot say what the auction prices or registrars' prices will be.
For open registration availability in the range of $30 per year?

We are a registry, we wholesale the names to registrars -- registrars sell directly to the public.

sex.cam is not for sale -- we are keeping that domain -- tentatively. porn.cam is for sale -- let's see what premium names like that will actually sell for.

Also, of interest to us are more mainstream uses for the .cam gTLD

Cityname.cam $30K to $500 depending on the market area?
1,2 & 3 number and letter.cam as much as? $x,xxx low $10,xxx?

Some name combinations with .cam are just comical
poop.cam is available soon CS :OP

@Nicky: There will be lots of creative names available for open registration. Good dictionary and number/letter names are expensive in any TLD. Some generic names will have cross branding issues with so many gTLDs ... So, z4see.cam (not a premium name) may be a good way to go to as that spelling could also be registered in the .com gTLD also then redirecting the type-ins to the .cam. We are hoping for the .cam TLD string to have a branding effect with the consumer.

.com means nothing really other than 'commercial' -- time will tell ...

I will for sure be regging some in open registration, might also see what price range some of the 1 and 2 worders go for.

Atleast it's an auction and not like .xxx that have insane fixed prices on their premium names?

Are you sure? I'm sure there will be 1000's of "premium" domains that you will have to pay xxx or xxxx per year just to renew.

that is the horrible thing about these new domains, all privately owned so they can do whatever they want.

I'm sure .cam will do ok, better than .webcam anyways. they aren't doing so well.

Nothing personal against Barry, I just really dislike how these new gtlds are being sold. I don't agree with premium renewals especially and the hoarding under shell companies.

I agree, personally I think they all should be run like .com
