Hi

Yeah I stand by what I said - at the end of the day new.net is a gimmick and I doubt it will ever be taken seriously - sure a people who work in the internet industry may get one of those domains but at the end of the day, someone on the street isnt going to be after one, all they want is a .co.uk or a .com, i would be amazed if they knew new.net existed (ill take it back when I see a sole traders van with a url that ends in .shop or whatever within their logo/ branding).

As a rule of thumb we (as in AGCC) steer clear of anything non ICANN such as Net registrar (.uk.co), new.net , gb.com, and usually central nic (.uk.com), for the simple reason that it is either more pricey than an initial .com domain, or you can get burned (for non-uk based hosts, there was alot of contravercy over net registrars collapse after the columbian registry revoked .uk.co meaning alot of peoples domains stopped resolving and alot of customers got "anoyed").
