Launch and then.. crickets

This post is going to be short and sweet: so after working on dot.bs for almost 2 years (admittely only during nights and weekends), I finally felt it was working well enough to share.
I created a 'show IH' post, which got exactly 0 likes, 0 comments, and probably 0 views as well. This might sound bitter, but in fact I think I should just see this as the starting point.

Time to find some people who might benefit from using dot.bs!

    Whats your plan for monetization? Are you partnering with registrars? I'm working on an aggregator in a different niche.

      Yes, partnering is one option indeed. I could also think about promoting related products. F.ex. a domain name will most likely be coupled to a website -> hosting/website builder/etc
      At the moment just focusing on getting a solid user base, but I'm pretty confident I would be able to monetize once that's there :)

    I regularly buy domains so this is definitely going in my bookmark list. Have been mostly using tldes.com. Btw I can always find cheaper deals sometimes which this sites aren't able to bubble up.

      Glad to hear!
      Can you give some examples of cheaper deals you don't find on dot.bs? Always looking to improve :)

        .md is available for cheaper price at nic.md.
