If there is restrictions of getting .my, means it is monopolize and there is no demand!

I still prefer .com

Wait till the iphone goes international.

Yes, I have 200+ hot catchy domains and all are geared towards US market, making $ in domain parking.

one of the making money sites is SportyGears.com - Latest Sport Videos | Best Sport Products | Hottest Sport Auction Items

PPC for msian site is only 3cent while for the sites for US , I get as high as $3USD per click.....follow the money

Man, look at alibaba.com..........what a biggie!!

This is not true, a few other 2LD domain exists from the ancient days of Internet availability in Malaysia. UTM for example has Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. 2LD ceased to be available after some time and now is available to be registered again.

I agree Chris. I just sold another .com for 5-digit, yay!

.my... well, I've registered two domains, pending approval sometime before March, before the SLD gets opened to public. I must say however that mynic has done a poor job so far in hyping up its value, unlike promoters for .info, .biz, and .mobi or even .ws, .cc, .tv, .cn, .md and .in etc.

Good for you---make as much money as you can!!!if they want it bad, they will pay !
I have offers to sell my domains but am keeping then. Domains are the cheapest real estate on the planet. ($7 per yr-how can you beat that!)

I always tell those people--- you can have the best websites but if your domain names su-cks, who is going to find? and you will have to spend 10x times on marketing $$$

And msian/asian countries(except for taiwan, and a few) will never be domain controller because average msians cannot afford to spend buying 100+ domains.

chris
Wine in Washington Wine in Oregon Wine in California,Wine Business Opportunities, Wine in Australia Wine in New Zealand Wine of Germany
350+ domains!!!

extremely short domain name, sensitive domain name (related to state or goverment, or company) sometimes requires approval from mynic.

All I know is why need approval?

It is an open market.

I am waiting for my asia domains too but who knows!!!

All I can tell you is ...it is damn expensive and a rip off process.
They take your money first and then tell you later on whether you get it or not and for the time being, they get to use the free interest$$$


Damn rip off!!!
and how do the first come first serve basis work?

ChrisGoh, why do i feel like you are *shouting* everytime you type those words on your keyboard?

chrisgoh, if you have 200+ or 200000+ domains but if they ain't making money for you, it still means nothing.

And owning a sucking domain name with good website/content on it doesn't make you spend 10x of effort for advertising if you know the NICHE well and know your target visitors. To me the key is always knowing your "niche". I have bought some bad domain names on my early year of 'joining' this industry, but i've built up pretty good websites on them and get decent amount of traffics+pr and sold them for decent price. I haven't paid a cent advertising.

Anyway, as far as i know .my needs approval from MIMOS first. If you ask what for, ask them. I do think owning a .my is kinda cool at first, but after knowing about the price AND the approval thingy, the interest's gone.
