People who have invested in the regional TLD, .asia will be disappointed to know that their domains probably aren’t worth much. Recently sold at auction were five generic .asia domains, which did not sell for substantial amounts, considering what they would if they were domains of another TLD or ccTLD (like .com or .fr).
According to HosterStats.com, the .asia TLD has almost 216 thousand domains registered. The fact that Asia is a region, rather than a country may account for the low resale prices. Similarly, .eu (for Europe) hasn’t taken off either, in terms of resale prices. But .eu has
about 3 million domains registered.
Below are the .asia domains that recently sold at Sedo auctions:
RealEstate.asia $6,000
