Pricing on “Premium” domain names, releases reserved — .Co.com drops

Firm will slash prices on premium domains and offer many reserved domains at regular prices.

.Co.com, a fresh third level domain name option, is dropping prices on premium domain names and has removed tens of thousands of domain names from its reserved names list.

The firm released a list of the previously reserved domain names that are now available for registration in a blog post.

The list includes some metrics, but not the actual traffic the domains receive. Many third level .co.com domains receive traffic since some ccTLDs end in co.(ccTLD). When the registry drops the prices on premium domains, it states that some will be cashflow positive with just one year of domain parking.

I imagine that means it’s making steep pricecuts. Here are some of the premium domains and their prices today:

Baseball.co.com $12,999
Poker.co.com $49,999
Mortgage.co.com $29,999

Some people have paid fairly strong prices by now. Two public sales include CouponCodes.co.com for $2,500 and Istanbul.co.com for $3,750.

The firm states it will release actual traffic data on some of its premium domain names in the future.

The previously reserved domains are available today in landrush. Retail landrush pricing is regarding $75-$100. If you wait until general availability on July 8 you might be able to scoop the domain names up for regarding $40.
