    For those unsure about TLD's (top level domains) they're the bit that comes at the end of a website or email.
    Such as .com, .ie or .org
    So personalised TLD's have recently come onto the market and a rush of blood caused me to buy
    www.cycle.bike
    Now I'm not one of those tout guys who aims to make a living from these things. Just somebody who enjoys cycling. I already regret the purchase.
    This cost me a few quid and I'd like to get it back.
    Can somebody suggest a practical use for this or somebody who might be interested in buying it?
    I currently have it pointed at my own website because I don't know what else to do with it.

    There are different registrars that charge differently, but Blacknight want €23.20/yr for .bike, though if the domain you're looking for popular it may already be registered or charged at a premium. Both onyour.bike and onyer.bike are already taken, and cycling.club costs €8,500 for example :eek:

    The list of new TLDs is a bit silly extensive: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Internet_top-level_domains#English

    Thanks lads. I've put it up for auction with a very high buy-it-now price. If I got half that I'd be happy.
