Tyler Mason, Senior Director of Strategy and Advisory at GoDaddy Corporate Domains (GCD) put together a list of domain extensions used by the “Top 100 NFT projects” ranked by volume, and he shared it on his LinkedIn page last week.

With Tyler’s permission, I embedded his post with the graph and his commentary:

Tyler used CryptoSlam as the source of his ranking data and Icy.Tools for the website information. It should be noted that there are more than 16,000 NFT projects (and growing), so this is just the tip of the iceberg.

I case you can’t see the graphic, the top 5 most used extensions are:

According to a tweet posted by Alex Verdea this afternoon, GoDaddy is now allowing customers to use Klarna to purchase GoDaddy products and services. Klarna is buy now pay later (BNPL) financing service that has become very popular and more mainstream over the past couple of years.

You can see a screenshot of the BNPL offering in Alex’s tweet:

Alex asked Paul Nicks, President of the Domains division at GoDaddy, if this option will be expanded to the aftermarket. Paul replied, and said it would happen “soon:”

There are various types of financing and payment plan options available to aftermarket domain name buyers right now. If (or when) GoDaddy begins allowing customers to finance their purchase over time, it will likely be significant for customers who utilize the GoDaddy / Afternic network to sell domain names.

I am sure GoDaddy will share more details with customers when aftermarket domain name buyers can purchase domain names via Klarna BNPL or other financing options.

How Quickly I Respond to an Offer

Domain investors take varying amounts of time when responding to a purchase inquiry or offer. Some people feel that responding quickly can yield better results and others believe waiting to respond to an offer for a certain amount of time can yield better results. I’m not a sales expert, so I’ve sort of done what feels right to me.

When I receive an offer to buy one of my domain names, I tend to respond quickly. I have felt that when a person submits an offer or inquires about a domain name, they are either ready to buy or on a recognizance mission to get pricing data. I don’t really like the idea of waiting to reply for the purpose of waiting.
