Default How much would you pay for...

From January there would be new domains available .rs

My question is: how much would you pay for, let's say webmaste.rs ?
Or code.rs or write.rs ???

You have to keep in mind that most internet surfers are used to com/net and regional TLD's. The url may look good but will it bring me any real benefits???

I agree with Skinner, whilst the domain name may look very good and yes I agree it does, tempting too

I don't think the domain name is worth much any way, due to the extension, but it sounds good and is quite easy to remember, though.

Good point, lol. I still don't like their domain name, either, mainly due to the weird structure, and many users have issues remembering the dots, unless they bookmark the site.

None, unless you magically get ranked high for some search terms...

wouldn't wasted my time with such domain. Why try to build a business, invest and not do it properly!

.rs - i don't think so so not a single penny. I say penny because it is worth twice as much as the cent!!!
