Will people selling covid/coronavirus names affect your opinion of them?

March 23, 2020 by Raymond Hackney 31 Comments

So with everything going on in the world with the Covid-19 pandemic, it seems some want to dabble in pandemic related names. I woke up this morning to an email asking me if I had a list of namepros members selling covid names? When I replied I don’t, why? The person said they were looking […]

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. I really don’t have interest in discussing the coronavirus with people who have no background in infectious disease, science or medicine so I have not been involved […]

Will Booking.com case potentially change the web as we know it?

March 11, 2020 by Raymond Hackney Leave a Comment

I wrote a couple weeks back about the ICA and Booking.com. Today Quartz came out with a very sensationalist headline, “A .com trademark case at the US Supreme Court could change the web as we know it.” Ephrat Livni wrote a very detailed piece on the upcoming case going before the Supereme Court. From the […]

March 11, 2020 by Raymond Hackney 2 Comments

Monsters, Trolls, Spam police, new forum seekers – Just another week in domaining

March 8, 2020 by Raymond Hackney 20 Comments

Another wild week in the online drama that is Namepros. The constant pro Epik members battling anti Epik members continues to drag on. From the poll I have run the last 3 years on best or favorite registrar, with some saying employees should not be allowed to vote. That gets complicated because Epik has several […]

Domainer or Domain Investor or Basement Dweller?

March 6, 2020 by Raymond Hackney 1 Comment

There is a thread on Namepros where a member wanted opinions on Domainer vs Domain Investor. Was their a difference? Should there be a difference. Brad Mugford gave a good answer in my opinion. I think most people tend to use the terms interchangeably, but I would consider a “domain investor” to be a slightly […]

Domainer Trap – when bad domain names sell

January 24, 2020 by Raymond Hackney 2 Comments

Bad Names Do bad names selling for good money trap a lot of domain investors? I think it does, that along with not everyone having the proper perspective on a sale. Domain investors that don’t know the whole story on a name like Gambling-law-us.com selling for $57,000, see it as a joke. Domainers who don’t […]
