Last night I did some more looking at the .gay domains pricing.

I was wrong when I said $6.00. You can get many of them for $6.00 but the premium prices are very strange indeed.

So, yeah, guy probably paid premium prices for those. Bad deal there.

Now I feel bad for coming on as hard as I did, but nobody has ever accused me of not being an asshole.

Thanks for leaving out the typo in the first word. :) There's also another mistake, where it should of course read "do NOT buy anything other than .COM". Not a hard and fast rule, since there are other decent extensions, but it's cheap and everyone knows it.

If my final paragraph below isn't the case, he should probably shell out another $8 for a .com and try your suggestion, which will load faster and allow him to cancel his hosting (if possible), and then just redirect his three names to the .com, until they expire.

Yeah it's normal for these new extensions (or even something like .CO) to have different pricing for any remotely decent keyword, but unusual for the renewal to be the same price.

His names seem to be registered at Porkbun (which AIUI is owned by the company that runs .gay) and are slightly cheaper than Namesilo. But since man.gay is the same price as boy.gay at Namesilo, and at Porkbun it's $700, I estimated his prices that way.

I wouldn't be too quick to judge yourself, it has crossed my mind a few times that this thread is really all about just showing off the domains and hoping to get something back on them. It's not like he mentioned the price or renewal when talking up how great they are.

so you bought some crappy domains, set up a tube and expect people will just start showing up? This isn't 1999 anymore. You are better off just burning your money or give it to me.

You've bought three overpriced domains and you don't even care enough to develop more than one of them, so why do you expect anyone else to care?

Ufortunately I think your names cost you about $700, $250 and $250, if not more, and will renew at those prices in a few months. This means nobody will buy them (unless you fail to mention that small detail), and it means you only have a limited time to try stuff out before you let them expire, which you should.

Ouch, I really hope he didn't spend that much on those domains.

Η Ελλάδα είναι ευλογημένη με μια απαράμιλλη ομορφιά, σπουδαίο φαγητό και αρκετούς εμφανίσιμους
ανθρώπους. Δυστυχώς, ακόμη κι όταν τα πράγματα πάνε καλά στην οικονομία, είναι συχνά δύσκολο
να δουλέψεις και να βγάλεις εκεί χρήματα. Είναι και το ότι εσείς οι Έλληνες μπορεί να είστε πιο
κλειστοί τύποι, κάτι που καθιστά δύσκολη την φωτογράφιση και την παραγωγή βίντεο. Δεν θα βρεις
πολλούς Έλληνες πρόθυμους να δουλέψουν για σένα, εκτός αν φέρεις τον Στίβεν Σπίλμπεργκ ή τον
Τζέι Τζέι Έιμπραμς, με την υπόσχεση να τους κάνεις όλους πλούσιους και διάσημους.

Μπορείς ωστόσο να ξεπεράσεις αυτά τα προβλήματα με τις κατάλληλες γνωριμίες.

Όταν ξέρεις τους σωστούς ανθρώπους, το ταλέντο μπορεί να μην κοστίζει τόσο ακριβά, ενώ οι
τοποθεσίες για λήψη συχνά δεν χρειάζονται αντίτιμο.

Yes, my domains are premium, as are all three letter, dictionary word, domain names in any TLD or gTLD. If you, and most of the surfers, still prefer boyxxxsomething.com instead of boy.gay then OK, maybe I am wrong and I can accept my painful failure.

I guarantee you that she did not get to charge that rate the day she set foot out of medical school, during her internship or during her first few jobs with whatever practices she worked for before she started her own.

You are wanting to charge for your learning curve. If an experienced webmaster can do in minutes what you can do in months then I would only pay the amount that the experienced webmaster would charge me for the task because I should not have to pay for your learning curve.

I am not talking about the learning curve, I am talking about the result. Maybe you can do a full customized website in one day, and maybe it will take me one month, but if the result is the same (and there's no tight deadline) then why should I be paid in pennies? Because you are the "doctor of the adult industry" and I am just a nurse?
How much would you charge for a website anyway? It is so easy for you, you can do it in minutes, how about $10? I will buy your services. But I am sure that you don't charge $10 because you also "sell your experience" (which includes your "learning curve" too). Maybe you charge $1000+, but me, I am worth <$10.
I am not whining here, I am just trying to make a point. Everyone's work is worth something, maybe not to you people in here but maybe to someone that is not a super duper adult webmaster and cannot do everything by himself in minutes.
I remind you again that I am a Greek and my economic standards are lower, I cannot invest much money or time, I am not trying to make thousands of dollars here or at my other mainstream projects, just a few bucks here and there.

It's so cute that you try to speak my language, even if it's automatic translation, thank you / ευχαριστώ for cheering me up.
I haven't tried your suggestion to create original content, yes, it would be a bit difficult to find people to make porn in Greece. Maybe one day I will search in Brazil and Philippines where I have connections...

I didn't use an automatic translation. I have a home in Karterádos but I know my greek could be
a lot better.

That's not even true of the word "boy", let alone all three letter dictionary words:

https://porkbun.com/checkout/search?q=boy&all=1

(I just noticed if you click the ? next to your name it shows exactly how much you have to pay to renew, $710.)

So if you love that word so much, boy.am is a shorter name than yours and would save you $670 per year, boy.army would save you $690 per year, and so on, through the alphabet.

Just look at the top 100,000 sites. How many that aren't country code TLDs (co.uk, .de, .cn, etc) are not .com? A few .orgs, a handful of .nets, and probably zero .gays.

It's your money though, and you can do whatever you want with it, but if you're down over $1k simply after buying three domains on extensions most people haven't even heard of, two of which you aren't even using properly, then yes, you are doing something wrong.

Why do you keep using this argument? You're not offering to make someone a site, the work you put in was for your own site, and it was up to you to pay yourself for it.

Wow, that's amazing! I mean, both your Greek (it's almost perfect, like, too good to be true), and your property on the most touristic greek island! :thumbsup

Because the domains and website are also for sale... (if someone would give more that $10... :upsidedow )
