.com will remain the Top Level Domain
Domain name extensions
We recently wrote all about .this and .that extensions for expanding the available amount of domain names and lately there is yet another extension coming online that has been announced for release in 2009 the .yourcompany expected to sale for the largest amounts of money for new release domain names.
What is a Domain Name
When we write about any subject we start with providing and educational description of the topic so that new visitors that arrive at our blog will be able to follow the post we are making. A domain name is formally known as a (URL) Uniform Resource Locator. The domain name is the beginning to developing any online presence.

Option to owning your own domain name
Today you can actually build a site presence under a number of free services but ultimately you will need a domain name of your own to truly be in control.
These services allow you to build number of site types and it would look like this example myspace.com/palmspringslogic but doing this puts some of your control into the hands of the main sites owner in our case here it would be myspace.com. The most positive plus about utilizing these site building services is their very easy to build and easy to maintain.
When you select a domain name you will learn that there is a type of domain name known as a (TLD) Top Level Domain and these are referred to because there are so many endings actually there are hundreds of them and only one .com (stands for commercial) is a TLD and two others come in close to being TLD’s they are .net (stands for network) and .org (stands for organization).
Within this blog we write a lot of posts related to the world of domain names from understanding how the decision you make when selecting the name and the extension will effect the overall outcome of your site project in the years to come.
DN Journal shares some news on .mobi
First let us share what is a .mobi domain name stands for it is commonly referred to as dotmobi and the mobi stands for mobile and was to be the greatest domain name for the mobile devise world since sliced bread. Logic was talked (hyped) into the need to buy some for our portfolio of domain names and bought eight .mobi extension names.
Now we read and you can to on the DN Journal here Domain name industry news that there is a chance the organizers will be getting rid of the .mobi extension. We at Viper Logic under our domain name portfolio here Domain Name Buyers were wondering why anyone really needed a .mobi domain name when they came out and were made available but at a premium of over 50.00 dollars and not at the .com price of around 9.95 dollars.
Logic Talk is operated by Viper Logic a software engineering company and we clearly understand that any web server (where a site is hosted) can can be programmed in the back-end coding to support WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) that allows the devise to pull a reduced content version also known as a stripped version of any site that operating and utilizing any extension to that portable or hand held devise for the site visitor to access.
.mobi or .marketing hype?
The thought might have originally been that having a .mobi extension would have allowed the visitor to clearly know that the site would support being a WAP version of the regular site. It is not like just because the site is developed utilizing a .mobi extension domain name would automatically convert the regular site into a WAP version.
Why ViperNames.com thinks that there is a buzz about non .com extensions
We have been buying domain names for our future projects for over 11+ years and over the years the available .com domain names which are the most popular and the largest selling extensions are really (though not impossible) very hard to come by.
We ourselves hold and are developing nearly 3000 .com’s so when we search the domain name groups that we are members of, we see that there are a vast number of very large holders of personal portfolios that no doubt adds to the shortage of available domain names.
This is why we believe that people are willing to justify buying all other types of the extensions out on the market and hope that their decision which as we discussed earlier in this post is the first decision a person makes when they decide to build a site for the Internet.
We think that this will make the site owners opportunities to prevail more difficult though not impossible. Where we truly believe the difficultly will be is in two areas pertaining to the domain name being one the ability to have potential visitors remember the unusual extension and the selling of the web site at a future date.
Note of upcoming ViperMailer.com post

Domain Name Extensions TLD’s and the past Hype History
Changes in the .com world are coming as sort of predicted
Back in time on this blog we went through the history or domain names then offered some in our opinion future predictions about how domain names would end up and what companies like our own Viper Logic would remove the extension. To recap the extension is the ending after the name in any domain name.
Example:
We would in the future be known as ViperLogic and not ViperLogic.com. We used large companies in our prediction like IBM and COCA COLA. Because they advertise their brands on a daily or rather hourly bases. We believed that these large companies would remove all extensions that by the way are always a .com TLD (Top Level Domain).
How close did we predict the future of domain names
We are impressed actually we came in real close.
Click here to read what we posted on My 02, 2008 domain names with no extension
The way that ICANN the organization that manages domain names located right here in California Marina Del Rey and you can visit their web site here Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers voted and set pricing and in 2009 will allow these new domain names to be purchased.
Here it is in case you missed reading about it in the newspapers or domain name online groups.
Lets say we are Apple and we own Apple.com.
What we or you can do in 2009 is to buy dot .Apple as it actually replaces the .com or any other extension and becomes the extension itself by adding a dot in front of the domain name making it your own unique domain name.
How much are .ANYTHING domain names going to cost
As of this new release of extensions by ICANN you can now buy your branded name outright for around 100,000.00 dollars or bid for a generic name like “.EmailMarketing” that will start at about 100,000.00 dollars and might sale for as much as bidding can take these generic names to the 500,000.00 dollars.
What will happen to other extensions
Logic belongs to a lot of domain name online groups. There is a lot of conversation about the addition of new domain name extensions. What we have read about these new endings is showing that yes the major companies like Apple, IBM, and EBay will buy the .THEIRNAME and will use them but we do not and have read that they will more then likely not get rid of their .com extensions knowing that how people look for a company they know is to type it into the address bar as they know it using the .com at the end.
Experts claim that the .com extensions are safe and here to stay
Over the years and being the owners at ViperNames.com here Domain Name Portfolio a portfolio of almost 3000 .com domain names there is reason to have some worry in our thinking about holding on to these domain names as investments.
Moving at Internet speed
Times are changing faster on the Internet faster then in any place or time in the history of man kind. This still should not cause those like you and us in the domain name know to worry about the out come of adding and even higher level of domain name extensions to exist. Here is why.
Domain name extension history
Logic and the ViperNames.com team go back in domain names about 11 years as investors and back a little over 15 years as actual users applying domain names to our products and services.
We have seen a lot of domain name changes since we started and in fact we would like to share the hype that prevails in the domain name investment world as it is very similar to the hype in the Wall Street investment world. We have investments in both of these investment mediums.
Logic has a stock market understanding
When Logic began trading in the stock market in 1983 it was very shortly after starting in stock trading that Logic realized that Wall Street behaved like a five year old child who while walking home from school sees the traffic accident, runs home to tell his mother that there has been a giant car accident down the street and there are people hurt and a car is even on fire. Oh mom it is really a very bad accident. The mother takes her five year old and rushes on foot down the street and arrives at the accident scene and discovers that two car sustained a little damage and the steam from one of the radiators is coming out from under the hood of one of the cars.
You can see the exaggerated child view of the accident and the reality of what really happened at the accident scene. This is how Wall Street and in most part how the Domain Name Investment world react to what is new news.
Domain Name Reality
Over these 11 and 15 years the changes have come and have passed. Here is the way it started with only the .com, .net, and .org. Each had its place. The .com was to be for “commercial”. The .net was for “network”. The .org was for organization. There were others but the public at large could not own them. .nato, .edu, .gov, and .mil to mention a few.
Welcome .int for international treaty.
There was a maximum amount of characters allowed for the length of the domain name and this got extended to what today is 63 characters. This alone allowed for an increase in the available number of domain names.
Then came the addition of extensions that were .biz, .info and others.
Then the flood gates opened after the first country code domain names were released .cc was for Cocos (Keeling) Islands in 1997. Today there is a country code for each country. there are 100’s of extensions.
In 2005 there was .travel followed by the wireless way over hyped even we bought a dozen or so .mobi made available to us all in 2006.
What has happened
It is simple to answer this question. Nothing happened or you might say very little other then the .com is the TLD (Top Level Domain) leader, it has the most in use, it has the largest number of sales and it is utilized by every branded major company name on the planet.
The hype over this will fade away and the .com will continue to connect the searchers of the Internet with the proprietors of businesses around the world.
Why are we so sure
Besides the highest price tag for off of the shelf for the new .ANYTHING domain name releases is that the human types .com from within the subliminal portion of the brain and we do not see a change coming even if you see .Sony, .Volvo, .viper we ca assure investors of domain names that these very same people are going to retain and utilize their .com versions as well.

Meet the Auto Artist
We have a company that is and artist to the finish that ends up on cars. The finish is lacquer paint. It is at least 26 layers usually more that are each applied then sanded along with finishing the entire car. It starts at the frame and works its way through the entire car so when the car is completed it will win the famous car show such as the Concours d Eligance usually at Pebble Beach, California. Viral is the marketing tool this auto artist has stayed so busy since the late 1950’s or early 1960’s. The auto artist clients are the most powerful and influential people on the planet since these paint and car makeovers can begin at 150,000.00 dollars and easily climb from there, minus the car that can run from the mid 100,000.00 to 10,000,000.00 dollar range.
This client of ours has a web site with some of their work displayed on it as well as the wait times (usually 6 months to get started waiting and 1.5 to 2.0 years to complete) types of work levels that you might be thinking about prior to hiring them.
Meet the Private Aircraft Interior Designer
This client enjoys his clients as much as we enjoy having the Interior Designer as our client. This is another viral attractor for how they receive and continue to receive their clients. However they have a web site featuring their interior work and if you have ever seen the workmanship that goes into these private aircraft then you can know it is a fun and ever evolving job to get to do.
Why did we share our clients

The world that Viper Logic is involved in is the Advanced Technology Engineering world.
Is big money in your future?
What we will share today can not only launch your fortune, but catapult it to unbelievable heights with some work of course.
A Little Preaching to get Started
Look and Logic is not trying to be a preacher. If you want anything in life you are going to start by getting off of your ass and do something about it. That time is now. We wish that this was January 2008, but it is not, so you will need to work harder to make up for the lost time of getting into the world of money making online today.
Learning from our clients how to make us all money now
We have been around 15 years and we today have a lot of wonderful clients. Because we are a high end (not a 19.95 cheap) service providers we have the luxury of retaining a personal relationship with each client we have.
See this is our niche or specialization and most importantly our comfort zone. It is not that we are rich or wealthy because we really are not however our services are and our talent or skills are as well.
Firing Clients is a Viper Logic Phrase
We allow less new cleints, as we interview each one to match our personalities.
This decision to have a selected group of clients allows us to see what and how these clients do their work, what they do to make their money and how they handle issues that arise. We also see which customers are doing really well and reviewing their products helps.
Building your niche on the Internet
Here is what you are going to be offered to build your road to riches.
There are two avenues and three selections to select from for your very specialized niche.
The first two are from the product side and the last one is from the service side where we will share a few clients that actually provide services globally.
Specialized Product Niche
Create or locate a small maker of unique products, arts, or crafts that are very Made in America. If you see it on the Internet or you see it on an EBay type of web site you are not going to want to invest your time and money in this item.
The item you select is going to really need to be unique so as a rule it really needs to be a first time discovery, it needs to be your discovery.
It could be that the item you locate or discover has one of those business card types of web sites, you know the kind most people have, the kind that yes they just had to have a web site, but no one ever found the product or the web site so you can still go with this one.
How to begin finding your Internet Niche
We are asking you to truly look out in a small town or and arts show or art district meet the builder of the product or artist that makes the product. If this person you find has uniquely created a this item then we are off and running.
You should go to trade shows meet people in and industry you truly understand it could be a lock convention, a boat convention. You name it convention and get yourself down there and meet and greet anyone especially those little table top vendors or even strike up a conversation with other attendees
Things to consider when selecting your product
Are you going to target high end items requiring high end clients? Or are you going to sale your product to the masses?
Selling your product to the masses things to consider
1 Is the item something you can become passionate about?
2 Is the item light enough to ship at a very low cost?
3 Is the item affordable by the masses?
4 Do you clearly understand the market for the item?
5 Do you clearly understand how the product works?
6 Can the item be packaged safely so you reduce your Return Merchandise Authoizations?
Selling your product to the high-end client things to consider
1 Is the item something you can become passionate about?
2 Do you clearly understand the market for the item?
3 Do you clearly understand how the product works?
4 Can the item be packaged safely so you reduce your return merchandise Authoizations?
Great work, we are off to a good start
It is ok to to wonder at this point, wow what is Logic saying to us, because if this product is so unique and so great why is this person not selling it for themselves say on EBay or on their own high profile web site?
This answer is going to floor you like it did to us, and here is the deal.
See a lot of people especially creative types love to build their own this or that, however they do not know how or have interest in being the one to sale it. No I know there really are people that want nothing to do with this selling or marketing stuff at all.
Logic should know Logic is not a sales person and will avoid selling cold at any cost. However if Logic is talking to someone about something Logic understands and happens to offer like our email marketing software service then you would be hard pressed to shut me up.
What Logic does, sense we are not sales people
Welcome to the service side of your niche.
Look we have some very unique clients that are specialists in their services and in fact they are so specialized like Viper Logic that they do not really need to go out and look for work. The word of month or what we call the creative types marketing it is all viral.
In Part 2
Meet a few of Viper Logic clients
One day this week we will begin to show you how our clients work in the services side of the Internet online business.
We will take you through the Internet growth program to get your new found riches web site up and running right away. Then you will be exposed on how to grow your product or service into a giant.
