.xxx pre-registration price is ~$65/year?!?
 

I've just heard from a program owner...
If true --> shameless RIPOFF! :(

You must be new here :D

$65 for a useless domain.... that will be even more useless once .sex, .gay, .porn etc get approved.

thats cheaper than what I thought it was going to be

One would have to be plain crazy to pay that amount for an .XXX tld.......what a useless scam.....:2 cents:

Nothing like being monetarily raped :Oh crap

you'd be better off getting a good .co.uk, at 1/4 the price or less.

the more extenstions there are, the more diluted they become. .com still proves resilient and is what you should aim to have.

.xxx will be blocked on very many places, congrats on the money wasting everyone :thumbsup

Fuck .xxx :thefinger

+1 :2 cents:

I Heart Ya! :) :pimp


As an affiliate its easy to laugh on this, but I know that program owners are somehow motivated to buy at least the most important their domains in .xxx as well. I've heard that 300k domains are pre-regged already.. So no matter if .xxx will be blocked here and there and it makes no sense, the porgram owners will (have to) buy them....

And the question here is not to decide if .xxx is good or bad ofkoz its bad, the q is if the price is really THAT high?

What a waste of money.

Who cares?

What's your problem? Don't register your domains in the born-dead zone :2 cents:

The $65 per year makes it easy to not buy.:thumbsup

Price-gouging at it's finest. Scam.

so will .com or.net with adult.

i feel this story will be more interesting :winkwink:

My first domain cost me 75$. That was Network Solutions.. about 3 months later they started on the 9$ method with all the other companies.

fuck .XXX

I don't care about the $65.00 price. Although - yeah, it is crazy to charge that for a domain. I just hope that it never becomes mandatory to have the .xxx domain. And yes I know - there is always that possibility that it will become mandatory - just saying that I hope it doesn't as it would be a big pain in the ass. :disgust

xxx would be the death of our industry. DO NOT BUY xxx domains!

there is a push for .nyc now as well.

Exactly, unless it's .com - who gives a fuck

It is still being discussed at the first stage but it may very much be that the all 3 major search engines will not index the tld.
It is total speculation at this point of time but if that's the case then "Duh" the .xxx is a totally worthless investment.
I am however buying 2 to experiment on and make my own theory if it can be SEO'd (if the tld gets indexed).

the fuckers deleted my comment from the facebook page... :(
