Where's the rest of the good .me domains?

Many .me domains being sold currently at the .me domain auctions are not necessarily the cream of the crop even though some are fetching thousands of dollars. The real deal of the .me domains are still held back for the premium .me domain auctions supposedly will be held on a later date. Premium .me domains like my list below will definitely be one big battle for domainers and those who have enough dough to dish out for them.



fly.me
sell.me
eat.me
hack.me
use.me
buy.me
sex.me ( ehem...)
rent.me
reserve.me

There's over 2, 576 premium .me domains up for grabs in the coming auctions. Some say the auction will start somewhere in September 2008 but domain.me has not released any official date as far as I know. Just for the heck of it, here's a list of dot me domains you won't get your greedy hands on because they are reserved.

resell.me
bobparsons.me ( obviously...)
buydotme.me ( a little redundant I should say. My dot com domain sounds better... )
cocksucker.me (???... Who on earth would have this reserved? LOL)
directory.me
fondzrz.me ( I don't get how this should be reserved )
email.me ( In my dreams... I registered this dandy. LOL )

Check back here often to find out how you can participate on the premium .me domains auctions to be held soon. My best guess is that same rules will apply with the current .me domain auctions. You still need to apply for a premium .me domain through an accredited registrar like www.GoDaddy.com then participate later on the premium .me domain auctions.

Notable .Me Domains Sold In The Auction

Been monitoring the auctions for the past 9 days or so and I've seen .me domains come and go since. Some .me domains have been tightly contested but a lot have already been sold recently to the auction winner. About 500 premium .me domains have found new owners and there's a few notable ones that I'm expecting to get some attention in the near future. Not surprising they also fetched a hefty price in the auctions. Here's my list of sold .me domains in the auctions:

sky.me - $2005
optimize.me -$605
lock.me - $535
supersize.me - $510
awaken.me $410
fuel.me - $285
switch.me -$240
foto.me - $95

Here's the top 10 .me domains sold so far although I don't necessarily believe they're really worth as much as they were sold:
why.me - $6,600
ass.me - $4,015
bangor.me - $3,782
lastminute.me - $3,605
finger.me - $3,055
social.me - $2,215
thats.me - $2,105
kuwait.me - $2,100
sky.me - $2,005
wellness.me - $1,855

If you're looking to get you're own dot me domain, www.GoDaddy.com is still the way to go.

Why should you get your dot me domain?

Recent published numbers in press releases show that over the course of a single week, 55,000 .me domains have already been registered and counting. This does not include the .me domains that were put in auctions or considered reserved because of its perceived high value which will be sold at the right price. Everybody is catching on with this domain phenomenon! Well... almost everybody. Some are still refusing to acknowledge the fact that owning their own dot me domain has any value.

But why should you get your own .me domain if you're very happy with your .com domain already? We'll because of the simple fact that somebody else just might register it and possibly sell it to you at a higher price! It's nothing new. Cybersquatting is everywhere and rampant. Cybersquatters are people registering different extensions of other people's domains in the hope that one day they will be approached by somebody, sell it and make a profit out of it.

Let me give you a sample case from the 3 top bloggers I've been following ever since: Shoe, John Chow and Problogger. Shoemoney.com was able to protect his domain name by purchasing shoemoney.me. No matter how absurb buying this .me domain looks for other people, at least he protected his domain name and nobody can take advantage of that in the future. However, Johnchow.com and Problogger.net were not able to do the same thing, as it looks obvious from the whois information of Johnchow.me and Problogger.me that both ae registered under different registrants from themselves. Both got beat to the punch. No big deal for now but I can bet you that one day they will want that .me domain name. It may be worth mentioning that problogger.net remained problogger.net all these years because Darren Rowse could not strike a deal with the owner of problogger.com. It took years for Darren to acquire it hence the unnecesary hassle.

Remember, when buying a dot com domain name, you need to consider if it will be worth your effort to buy the rest of the domain extensions available: .net, .org, .tv, .info, .us so you can protect yourself from other people wanting to take advantage of you or your work. More importantly, you need to register your .me domain name now before somebody else gets an idea.

.Me Domain Auctions Update

The premium .me domain auctions continue to drag on as top item insure.me continues to grab the limelight and has gone beyond $26,000 in the bidding. Auction rules states that the bidding is constantly extended for almost 24 hours after the last higher bid is established. The bidding for Insure.me has going on for a week now and will be reaching my predicted 30K mark in the next few days.
On the other hand, several premium .me domains have been making headlines of their own for different reasons. The lovable hug.me domain which has also gotten attention due to the fact that there were reports of several people registering this domain erroneously at the start of the open registration period, has now sprung into second place of the auctions getting a top bid of over $13,000. I like this nice sounding domain but I really doubt the value of this domain merits the bid price. Secure.me also gets high bids topping $7500. previous favorites like brand.me has not been making a good showing in terms of bids. After coming in second most sought after .me domain at the start of the auctions, it has been quietly relegated down to low 20 with bids capping at $1,725 and 20 hours in bidding left.

Watch out for these .me domains in the auctions that will probably be some of the favorites once they open for auctions.

1. gadget.me
2. socialize.me
3. hype.me
4. customize.me
5. testdrive.me

Why Insure.Me Costs $25,000

Four days after the official .me domain auction opened, it has been an amazing run for the only legitimate dot me domain to reach bidding in the 5 figures. Insure.me has garnered 114 bids and present top bid surpassing $25,000.

In today's world and for almost everybody, nothing is certain but uncertainty itself. That's why the insurance industry is a multi-billion dollar industry worldwide. Marketing insurance, however, is a big competition among major players and some minor leaguers so every bit of marketing edge helps in their quest to get ahead. Certainly a catchy phrase and better online exposure because of it would definitely be a desirable edge. Another factor that will drive this unique domain is the fact that there are already ready buyers that will definitely make a move on the auction winner once the auction is concluded.

Unlike the rest of the .me domains in the top 10 list below, Insure.me looks the most desirable since it may have the biggest commercial value.

Free Godaddy Domains - For Real!

Got a Google email alert today about a nice IndyCar promo from Godaddy that offers a FREE domain (.com, .net, .org, or .biz) for a simple newsletter subscription about the IndyCar races. I already have a GoDaddy account so subscribing to their newsletter was no problem. The great thing about this promo was I'm getting a free domain PLUS I get to send the same rewards to 5 of my friends so they can also get 1 free domain each for doing nothing!

After completing the subscription, you're given a promo code to input before you check out of your Godaddy shopping cart. Once you apply the code, everything is taken off even including the ICANN-fee. Check out my screenshot of my shopping cart earlier.
I had the option to send 5 other free domains to friends but guess what I did? I sent it to 5 of my other email addresses! Ha! I know... I'm a cheat. I haven't tried to register the 5 other free domains though. I'll save those for later when a cool domain idea comes up.

If you'd like to do the same, get a free domain and give 5 others free domains as well. Here's the IndyCar Godaddy link. Remember, makes sure you ain't paying nothing before you check out by following the instructions on the link and makes sure the total cost is $0.00 before you check out. You don't even have to input financial information. You can use the "gift card" option and then input the promo code. That should make the shopping cart amount to $0.00. I used my Paypal account on my Godaddy records so it wasn't a problem. Check out the details of the promo below:
And check out my receipt confirmation for the FREE Godaddy domain:
You won't find these dirt cheap domains promo very often so sign-up now!

Too Many People Trying To Cash In With .ME

I'd have to admit that even without any reasonable credentials to back up any .me domain, they still have this enigma surrounding them that they may one cost many times over the amount shell out by the initial owner. I believe it is the first time in history that any TLD has met this much publicity and demand. Domaining is part speculation and part predictive. The popularity of social media nowadays gives some .me domains the oomph that may just fetch it a hefty price one day.

However, I'd have to say that cashing in this early maybe a little too early. Upon a heads-up by one of the commenter here in this blog, I checked out .me domains being auctioned at a popular domain after-market TDNAM and found some ridiculously priced .me domains. I'm listing some and can somebody tell me why these domains should cost $50,000 each?

1. sidneycrosby.me? ( Is this somebody famous I don't know?)
2. videoforfree.me?
3. dinnertheater.me?
4. lubrication.me?

Same things here in the lower 5 figures a pop:
1. wretch.me $45,000?
2. douche.me $30,000?
3. hurtcall.me $35,000?
4. hamid.me $10,000?
5. lady-boy.me $10,000? ( very funny)

I only found one .me domain interesting but I doubt it is fairly priced.
1. prepay.me $49,995? (very good for pre-paid business)

Where To Get Your .Me Domains

In a previous post, I blogged about where else to register .me domains aside from www.GoDaddy.com. It's all cool and dandy if you live in the U.S. or if you already have an account with them. Godaddy offers the cheapest .me domains around based on my price comparison with other domains that offer the same.

But if you've holding out on buying a .me domain because of the buzzed up mess godaddy got involved in at the open registration kick off. Here's a list of alternatives you may wish to register .me domains with.

1. EuroDNS - A .me domain is 48 Euros for the initial reg. Roughly US$76. Although you can use this .me domain promo code GOME08 for a 20% discount which bring you down to $61 to register 1 .me domain. Live in Europe? Try this one.

2. Easyspace.com - probably gives the next cheapest .me domain after Godaddy at 32 Euros a pop. Roughly US$51. Not bad if you consider Godaddy's charge totals $39.98 for the same. Easyspace.com is a local domain hosting company based in the U.K. The English may be better off registering through easyspace.com.

3. Netfirms Web Hosting - is a domain and web hosting company based in the U.S. They offer .me domains for $59.90 total for 2 years reg. Your .me domain purchase with Netfirms comes with free basic hosting and 1 free email address. A nice alternative to those who've been burned by GD.

Auction For Insure.Me Hits The Roof!

I just can't stop writing about this .me domain! LOL. Maybe I was a fool thinking I landed insure.me in the first hour of the open registration period. I remember at that time my hands went cold after receiving confirmation thinking of the moolah I can make out of selling insure.me. But low and behold, it was unfortunately reserved for the .me domain auctions.

I really can't tell how many people have been bidding on this .me domain because it is kept restricted to auction participants only. Nevertheless, we can still see what's going on and it looks like them bidders are driving the bids for this .me domain out the roof!
Check it! In just 6 hours into the auction opening, insure.me has received 68 bids with the highest at $10,005 at the moment. Ok Godaddy... I changed my mind. You can take the refund back. I've got the receipt for insure.me and I want it back! LOL.

I'm seeing this battle goes to $30,000. I got $10 that says it does! :D

Insure.Me Hot Item In .ME Domains Auctions

Dang! I knew it! I thought of this .me domain, insure.me, was an awesome one that's why it was the one and only .me domain I even dared to register in the open registration period. True enough it is the first .me domain in the auction to receive multiple bids so far.

Here's the list of .me domains in the auctions receiving bids at the moment. The .me domain auctions had just opened minutes ago and these domains have 1 bid each save insure.me which has 8 bids and brand.me with 7.

ride.me, invent.me, insure.me, perfu.me, trainer.me, brand.me, ticket4.me, replay.me, vacations.me, fruit.me, usedcars.me, tempt.me, jerusalem.me, brand.me

Bidding Update only after 3 hours:
insure.me - highest bid $2,000 in 40 bids
brand.me - highest bid $360 in 18 bids
ride.me - highest bid $240 in 12 bids
enroll.me - highest bid $120 in 9 bids
lock.me - highest bid $105 in 5 bids

Godaddy Says .Me Domains Are Aweso.me!

Today's Godaddy.com press release will probably get a lot of haters frown but the godaddy's numbers have shown clearly that .me domains is the most successful new domain launch in history. First day of registration netted 20,000 .me domain names through Godaddy alone.

The demand way so huge that it caused Godaddy servers to slow down for the first couple of hours of the open registration. This eventually led to multiple registrations of .me domains. Godaddy says they have rectified the situation and have processed refunds accordingly. On a personal note, I was one of the people who registered insure.me through Godaddy and received the email saying it cannot be processed. On July 19, I was refunded.

Further more, Godaddy's PR indicated that .me domains are great for individuals or businesses looking to uniquely express themselves online with a podcast, blog, online photo album, or Web site dedicated to their interests. While most aweso.me .me domains have been either reserved, being auctioned or have been grabbed on the first day of open registration, there are still thousands of .me domain ideas to register.

The three biggest ICANN-accredited registrars that accept .me domain registrations are www.GoDaddy.com, EuroDNS and Netfirms Web Hosting. For U.K. residents, I recommend you register .me domains through a local registrar, EasySpace.com. Take your pick and register yours before somebody else does!

The .ME Domain Auctions Open Today

Some of the reserved and premium .me domains restricted in the open registration and held back even in the landrush period will finally be auctioned today. Those people who had enough guts to plop down $99.98 per .me domain in the landrush and found themselves applying for the same .me domains as others will finally get the chance to duke it out against each other and show who's got the money!

A total of 212 .me domains will be auctioned just for today and hundreds more would be in the subsequent days. These are domain names that have either received more than one application in the landrush period or are premium .me domains held back by the official registrar domain.me for auctioning.

.ME Domain Auctions Start In Two Days

Premium .me domains are already displayed at the domain.me auction site open to all prospective buyers. I just paid a visit today and found some pretty good .me domains that on my opinion will definitely fetch a boatload of money. Recently concluded .me domain auctions have shown 3 domains sold for a hefty price; dove.me sold for $805, wellness.me went out for $1,855 and lastminute.me fetched $3,605.

Here are a few I thought would definitely be worth more than its starting bid of $75:
simplify.me
totally.me
exchange.me
handso.me
aweso.me ( about 10 or 12 people are pissed thinking they registered this already )
dine.me
socialize.me
xtre.me
personalize.me
compensate.me

Some trademark domains selling in the .me auctions:
bankofamerica.me
merck.me
mcdonalds.me
chrysler.me
facebook.me
mitsubishi.me

Other notable mentions are the facts that a lot of country names are included in the auction as well as sex-related terms. I guess the later will make a great deal of money. So get ready for August 21 because that's the day the .me domains auction floor opens and expect these 3,000 .me domains for auction to fetch at least a million dollars in total.

Open registration is still ongoing and the top three .me domain registrars where you can sign up are www.GoDaddy.com , EuroDNS and Netfirms Web Hosting.

.ME Registration Alternatives

Hi there guys and girls! If you've been following the news about registering .me domains today, then you would surely know that a lot of people haven't been exactly ecstatic about certain glitches with the popular registrar www.GoDaddy.com. So I've made a little research for those who'd still like to register .me domains with a different registrar this time around.

As I have previously posted, EuroDNS also accepts dot me domain registrations. Ideally, EuroDNS is for those who already have an account with them or are residents of the U.K. and other Euro countries.


Aside from EuroDNS, Netfirms also accepts .me domain registrations. is the premier provider of web hosting, domain name, e-commerce, e-mail, e-marketing services and technology solutions and they offer .com domains for about $5.95. For .me domains, netfirms offers it for $59.90 with bonus Netfirms basic web hosting and 1 email address free. They accept registrations from anywhere around the world.

July 21, 2008 Update:

The U.K. registrar EasySpace.com has also jumped the bandwagon and are now also accepting .me domains registration. U.K. residents are encouraged to register through them.

I'll keep this post updated as I find other trusted .me domain registrars!

July 25, 2008 Update:

Netmotivated is the latest web hosting company to offer a stand alone .me domain to anybody. A .me domain purchase with Netmotivated costs only 12.99 Euros or roughly US$20 only. Not bad compared to Godaddy who sells at the same price. Netmotivated is a U.K. based web and domain hosting company. U.K. residents are best purchasing their .me domains with Netmotivated.co.uk.

Awesome Demand For .ME Domains

Yesterday has finally revealed all the pent up demand for the newest domain extension around, the .me domains. Even as www.GoDaddy.com, the main registrar offering .me domains, encountered a few glitches in their system that left a bad taste in the mouth for early registrants, the demand for .me domains is very high!

Here are a few interesting numbers I collated today from this blog's traffic and sales stats to show how much people have bought into this .me domain frenzy:

Number of Unique Clicks from Search Engine Traffic: 499
Total Cost of .me domains sold through this blog for today only: $6,975.45
Total number of .me domains sold: 174
Biggest number of dot me domains sold in 1 transaction: 44 .me domains

If you're looking to catch up on some pretty awesome sounding domains, www.GoDaddy.com is still the way to go because they offer the cheapest .me domains around. However, if you're looking to find an alternative, EuroDNS is also selling .me domains.

Search Numbers Increase As .ME Open Registration Starts

Today, this blog saw a huge surge of search engine traffic as the .me domain open registration nears. As of writing, the gates open in less than two hours. You can check Godaddy's official countdown for the dot me domains open registration to see how much time is left. This search engine traffic is a hint to a huge interest building up for dot me domains.
PR releases left and right, domaining blogs are raving, domain registrars are already offering discounted dot me domains. All signs point to this cool new top level domain to be a huge hit in a matter of a few days.

Here are a few tidbits about .me domains you'll probably be interested in:

1. 1,582 formal requests had been submitted during the sunrise period requesting .me domain addresses formatted as “nameofthecompany.me.” 245 requests came from Montenegrin, while 1,337 came from foreign companies.

2. With an 'average educated person' having a vocabulary of approximately 20,000 words it's fair to say that the really memorable verbs are long gone BUT there's still some very interesting hacks and adjective-related .me domains up for grabs.

3. .ME domains, with their universal appeal, are expected to be in high demand. So some “premium” names – including verb-oriented domains, such as “Contact.ME,” “Drive.ME” or “Fly.ME,” – will be held back for auction after Open Registration.

4. Domain authorities expect a huge interest from bloggers who look to personalize their domain names with a .me extension.

If you're looking to register .me domains yourself, the 2 best domain registrars for dot me domains are www.GoDaddy.com and EuroDNS. Both offer discount .me domain prices.

One Week To Go For .ME Open Registration

Wow! When they said it is now the Quiet Period, they weren't kidding. I really haven't heard any relevant news about the dot me domains registration except the ho-hum snippet indicating there where 30,000 different .me domain applications so far.

Right now, I'm just waiting for the "smoke to clear" from the .me domain auctions and wait for the .me open registration. With 30,000 domains already reserved in the auctions plus hundreds of restricted premium .me domains, it is going to be a tough task to scour through all of it but there are still some cool .me domains to be had out there. So here's a tip, check this list of reserved .me domains from encirca and find out if you're dot me domain is restricted. If you can't find it on the list then there's a big possibility it is still up for grabs. Then you need to reserve it through www.GoDaddy.com because they godaddy can reserve it is faster for you since the have been tasked to handle these along with affilias. Don't believe the rest of the wannabes who also accept dot me registration because only godaddy and affilias are the only ones allowed by the Montenegro authorities to do so.
Go Daddy $6.95 .com sale 200x200
Estimated price of dot me domains on the open registration is $19.98 with a two-year minimum registration requirement. We should see more people registering dot me domains in the open registration since the prices will be slashed dramatically.

.ME Domains Auctions Now In Progress

Check out this screenshot of what I've come across today. It's a sneak peek at the currently .me domain auctions being held right now during the quiet period. Dot me domains that previously received multiple applications during the past periods will be auctioned off privately among applicants. Check out the present bids of some .me domains below.
The .me domains listed up here ain't that interesting though. Recently sold domains like plug.me and reminyl.me are not really attention grabbers hence only one bid until the auctions closed. Another domain, dove.me, is getting a few bids with seven and the current bid price at $805. I'm not too sure about dove.me. LastMinute.me is something of a brawl in the auctions right now. For this domain, there had been 13 bids and the price has gone way up to over 36 hundred dollars. I guess there are really some people hoping to make something out of this domain.

Wellness.me is the current tops of the .me domain auctions with 24 bids while the bid price has gone up to 18 hundred dollars. Still I have yet to come across personally interesting .me domains yet.
