The domain name aftermarket worldwide may be down, but for the careful
investor there is a way off to safeguard investments despite the
challenging environment. Customers can still continue to invest at a
reasonable cost, for example investing in .com.mx domains at a price of
$35 dollars per year domain registration. Investing in .com.mx either
to park or to sell has several advantages.
First of all, as of December 2008, based on nic.mx statistics, the
total of .com.mx registered domains was of 278,402 domains which means
there are still a lot of good .com.mx domains available for
registration. Secondly, Internet usage in Mexico has been rapidly
increasing in the last few years; in 2000 the penetration rate was 2.7%
and in May 2007, it was estimated in 21.6% which is approximately
23,700,000 people, and this number is expected to keep growing in the
years to come. Thirdly, a study conducted by IAB (Interactive
Advertising Bureau) shows that investment in online advertisement in
Mexico in 2006 was around 50 million dollars, which represents an
enormous growth of 62% compared to 2005. In 2007 this figure went up to
96%, reaching the billion dollar mark, and this growing pace is not
projected to decrease for the subsequent 5 years.To read the rest of this article, Luisa Fernanda Villa y Battenberg from Sedo Latinoamerica, see:
