Yesterday's .ca domain drop featured a total of 155 domains that were caught, which is above the normal weekly average. The NamesCon domain conference in Las Vegas took place this past week, and I'm sure there will be a lot more news in the domain blogs shortly on how the conference went. From everything I've seen and heard so far, it was another success. The domain auction at NamesCon that sold almost $1 Million in domains was nice to see, and the extended auction activity may take that number still higher. The new gtld .World came out this week, and the early numbers (over 5,000 registrations) are a very good start. I picked up a few myself on the first day of general availability, because I think there are a lot of good "Keyword World" type domains.
In the past week there was at least one .ca domain sale reported at Sedo:
BTA.ca - $7,500 - sold at Sedo
This was a domain sale with an obvious end user, the buyer being Building Trades of Alberta, who currently operate on the web domain BuildingTradesAlberta.ca. I don't know if they will be moving to the shorter BTA.ca for their website, but the shorter domain is already forwarding to the main site. Anyone who works there will also appreciate having a shorter work email that ends in @bta.ca.
Some of the better names that fell and were caught in yesterday's drop include:
Autistic.ca
AAO.ca
LND.ca
DiaperBags.ca
PulledPork.ca (try the pulled pork poutine at BC Place stadium if you ever get there!)
Crawl.ca
Stacks.ca
HomeKit.ca
BloodyMary.ca
GreenCloud.ca
The full list of domains caught in the drop is below. I've bolded some of the better quality and more interesting names on the list. Thanks to Sibername for providing the data.

I am dropping all my ca's other than 3l and one worders, there is not much of an end user market, 2012 was good, 2013 was ok, 2014 1 sale only
ReplyDeleteAutistic.can went up to $600+ in drop auction. I bailed after that. Hopefully the buyer puts it to good use. Keeping all my premium .CA's. They work great for Canadian business sites.
ReplyDeleteI think every time a domain you own comes up for renewal, whether it's a .ca or not, you have to assess whether it's worth keeping or not.
