March 31, 2020 by Raymond Hackney 9 Comments

Epik wins the Namepros 2020 Best registrar As I have stated before this year’s poll was pretty contentious for the first time the poll was public. This allowed for everyone to see who voted in the interest of transparency. Over 28,000 views and over 500 replies. The number of votes this year was almost identical […]

March 29, 2020 by Raymond Hackney 1 Comment

Things got quite spicy in this year’s Namepros best registrar in the business poll. I have run a poll the last three years, this one was started a little earlier because I was just having some fun timing it with March madness. As with most things in domaining it can never just be a smooth […]

Yesterday’s Corona related registrations – Would have been better to have used the cash as toilet paper

March 26, 2020 by Raymond Hackney 8 Comments

Typos of coronavirus domain names. Or names like coronalicious.com. It seems that this money would have been better spent on toilet paper or donations to a food bank. Forget morality, forget your stance on regging these kinds of names. And these names will just be deleted next year, flushing money down the toilet. Just look […]

March 26, 2020 by Raymond Hackney 5 Comments

So a couple days ago I wrote a post about Covid names and how people feel about those who register them. The conversation got a tad nasty on both sides.

Which is worse the name or the shame?

March 19, 2020 by Raymond Hackney 4 Comments

So I have not been reading much within the industry over the last couple weeks. I see headlines on Domaining.com and use that as a point of reference.
