Mike Berkens picked up the best domain imo in the .dating extension. He announced on Twitter that he picked up the name on EAP day 1, so that makes this a five figure pick up.
I registered the one and only category defining term for the new gTLD .Dating today http://t.co/3uK5RntUJ8 on day one of EAP #domains

Wow Mike has some big grapes good luck on that one Mikey.
Will he buy Dating.Online also? 😀
That’s a good point Theo.

The domain dating.online is NA, and if it was available it would be $10K or so per year+++
Much more searches for online.dating than dating.online & outside of the one time cost the renewal fee is low.
Also been in touch with the owner of onlinedating.com if you have interest bring me an offer of $x,xxx,xxx and I can get you a price, otherwise he has no interest
My point is, careful with domains that their keyword can be the TLD and vice versa; there’s enough competition from the matching pair .com.
Solid solid domain name.
What is an annual renewal cost for this premium name?
The renewal is $1,000 per year
Yes, the owner of onlinedating.com must be ranking in the dough with that 1.0 website template that was included with his dotcombuilder membership…
the retail is $1.2K on renewal, but a discount account can reduce this by 15-20%
Nice name, well done Mike
It’s a nice name but pretty much all successful dating sites choose a brand name over a generic exact match these days.
Huge term but I think it is clunky as a domain, it is the style of domain that would have been more likely to get a big price 10 years ago versus today.
