Deep dives
Diversifying Domain Investments
Nicol Sangvi discusses his strategic shift in domain investing, moving from a heavy reliance on .co domains to diversifying his portfolio with other extensions like .io and .so. He highlights that while .co previously comprised around 90% of his investments, this has now dropped to roughly half. This transition reflects a broader trend in the domain market, where Sangvi has begun focusing on repurposed country-code top-level domains (ccTLDs), which he believes offer strong potential for growth. His focus on higher-quality .com domains has also increased, though they still represent only about 5% of his overall portfolio.
