Minds + Machines group Ltd 'very pleased' with growth in China
Share
12:56 08 Nov 2016
Top level internet domain registry business Minds + Machines Group Ltd (LON:MMX) has passed a major milestone in its Chinese business. The group said it has now performed more than half a million registrations in the People’s Republic for its .vip domain, which is not bad going, as it only went on sale in May of this year.
Chief executive Toby Hall tells Proactive: ''We've had a good 23% growth since the half-year point there so we're very pleased indeed''. Hall went on to say the milestone was achieved without making use of the “fremium”; sales models, adding ''for us there were many marketing strategies that can be used to launch a domain but for us maintaining the price is key for establishing the long term value. What's particularly reassuring is this significant level of registration has been done without any discount of our standard price''.

Minds + Machines 2016 Outlook Upbeat After Developments In Key Markets
Mon, 7th Nov 2016 09:29
LONDON (Alliance News) - Minds + Machines Group Ltd on Monday said its outlook for 2016 remains "upbeat" after a period of "significant internal heavy lifting".


The top-level domain registry company said in China the number of registrations in .vip have passed the 500,000 mark, which it said was a "major milestone" for the domain it launched in May and which was achieved without the use of freemium sales models in its marketing.

Minds + Machines said it plans to open an office in Xiamen, China, to support its ongoing development in the country.

Meanwhile, in the US, the transfer of .boston has now completed the Internet Corporation For Assigned Names & Numbers registry process and is on track for a 2017 launch, the group said.

Minds + Machines said it was also encouraged by the higher-than-expected renewal rates it was experiencing across its US-facing vertical top level domains as it continues to test market initiatives in various sector niches.

Within Europe, Minds + Machines said it has implemented a long-term co-marketing campaign with its .uk top level domain, and noted that in the first month, the first UK registrar to introduce the initiative saw a three-fold increase in .london registrations. Minds + Machines did not say which company this was.

Minds + Machines said it will closely monitor the implementation of this long-term initiative for its .uk top level domain.

"Progress within the business is continuing at a significant pace and the outlook for 2016 remains upbeat. We are continuing to both rationalise our historic business and invest in our partners and portfolio to ensure we build on this momentum in 2017 across each of our key markets. After a period of significant internal heavy lifting, we are now beginning to see the advantages that our portfolio of top level domains can deliver," said Chief Executive Toby Hall.

Shares in Minds + Machines were up 0.4% at 11.32 pence on Monday morning.

there were big trades above the ask, so why didn't the share price tick up?

[davr0s] 05/11/2016 15:57

Why fishy?

[hjb1] 04/11/2016 11:10

very fishy imo?? things just not what they seem.

[davr0s] 04/11/2016 11:07

And they paid above ask this time

[treble in 1999] 04/11/2016 10:42

Is that a Chinese purchase, me thinks so.

[hjb1] 04/11/2016 10:41

obviously not enough to move the share price though?

[davr0s] 04/11/2016 09:50

That's what we need - a1m buy

[hjb1] 01/11/2016 16:32

not sure how many were auctioned, but it won't be the full number.I expect the vast majority were at a lower figure so we won't know until it's clarified hopefully in an update soon.Either way it's all good news.
Btw, vip added another 1500+ yesterday too...VIP will alone pass the b/e figure of $6m the company needs, so everything else is pure profit....will it be divis that come first or a buyout?? it's all looking good!
Let's not forget the unlaunched names as well....shopping (Chinese version) could also be massive, then Boston..DDS..Budapest...Luxe...etc etc..

[treble in 1999] 01/11/2016 16:13

hjb1

Now if my thinking is correct, those 24000 names relate to auctions.

Some big numbers paid sterling wise, 10k = £1200 and I suppose the average could well be over £100. That could be £2.4m for mmx.

Thoughts anyone??

Is it worth renewing .london domains? They want $54 a year

C/O Norrab ON LSE

Today 14:27Western Digital (west.cn) October 26 news, yesterday we reported, including "Jiangsu", "crayfish" and other .vip domain auction news, where the word domain man.vip also gained a lot of lucky numbers 8888 yuan. Then yesterday afternoon there are two phonetic domain dianying.vip and tianjin.vip respectively 10,000 yuan and 9200 yuan knot beatLarry domain dianying.vip at 11:00 yesterday, after 96 bids, and ultimately to 10,000 yuan knot beat. This domain may correspond to a "movie", "point mapping" and other means, is ideal for building sites or television movie ticketing website. Currently many terminals on the use of the domain name, for example, changed its name to the secondary domain name dianying.taobao.com "Amoy vote" movie on Taobao enabled.

In addition to the "movie" Last night there is also a place name domain tianjin.vip 9200 yuan knot beat. The domain name corresponds to the municipality, "Tianjin", meaning clear, especially suitable place to build portals, city information websites. Domain Names for its simple and easy to remember, itself has a high visibility, it is extremely easy to spread, so the commercial value is relatively high. Names same domain jiangsu.vip also 7200 yuan price.

Also yesterday, more than 4 Digital Western Digital Domain in a price of the transaction, as 2172.vip sold for 1400 yuan, 0128.vip, 0126.vip, 0118.vip price are 1,200 yuan. Recently, .vip domain name transaction volume is large, including some fine phonetic word domain names and domain names in Western Digital and an auction sale price, such domain names like rice friends can pay more attention.

[treble in 1999] 01/11/2016 15:18

wow, 24000 .vip's registered yesterday.

Any ideas???

[davr0s] 20/10/2016 19:18

Suppose it was inevitable that we had to close the gap but blinkin annoying
