It seems that GoDaddy has stopped including "premiums" in the .BIZ zone on its auction, but I hope that this doesn't mean an increase in prices by the owner of the zone. The real question is whether or not the bonuses will be withdrawn from current owners.

Upon closer examination, the situation isn't all doom and gloom - there will no longer be inexpensive drops for "premiums" in this zone. This change may also apply to the .info and .us zones, which could explain the sudden surge in keyword purchases for the latter.

It looks like those who were hoping to snag LLL domains from the overbought market won't be able to do so through drops anymore!

Additionally, discount registrars like LCN and Freenom are stopping the transfer of premium domains from this zone to regular ones like dynadot, giving the impression that everything is business as usual.

I've noticed a slight increase in requests for my LLL.biz domain, which is pretty exciting news! Interestingly enough, it seems that Germans are the ones who are particularly fond of this domain zone.

It'll be interesting to see how things develop from here, but for now, it seems like everything is looking up. I also found out that some LLL.biz domains that were previously reserved after being dropped are now being offered for free registration as bonuses, at a price point of around 800-1000 dollars.

As for the extension itself, I used porkbun to check it out and it looks like BIZ-LLL is extended at its usual price. All things considered, things seem to be going just fine so far.

The halt on including "premiums" in the auction could indeed signal a shift in the market dynamics. While it's unfortunate for those looking for good deals in that specific zone, there's still some optimism to be found.

I think we need to consider whether or not the existing premiums will be affected for current owners. This could really determine how stable the value of those domains remains in the market. If they aren't being withdrawn from current owners, it might create a more competitive landscape since the supply wouldn't increase. Without the drops, the chance to grab valuable LLL domains becomes extremely slim, especially with the market already being so compressed.

Also, it's interesting to note the potential ripple effect on the .info and .us zones, as you mentioned. The spike in keyword purchases in those areas could be a direct response to the limited availability of premiums in .BIZ. It suggests to me that investors are actively looking for alternatives, which could cause those prices to rise as demand increases.

Regarding discount registrars like LCN and Freenom, their decision to stop transfers of premium domains is interesting and does create an impression that there's stability in the market. However, it also complicates the strategy for many domainers who might rely on transferring premium names to capitalize on potential sales. It's like a game of chess - you have to think several moves ahead.
While the future might seem a little uncertain for the .BIZ zone, it opens up various opportunities in other domains. As domainers, we need to stay adaptable and watch market trends closely. The coming months will certainly be crucial for understanding how these changes will unfold and affect our strategies moving forward. Keep an eye on those keyword purchases; they might just be a key indicator of what's to come.
