After asking for bidder id's on Namepros as far back as 2015 and I kept pushing a bunch of times on Namepros and here at TLDinvestors.com, bidder id's are finally a reality. Now of course you never fully get what you want from GoDaddy. In my opinion that's always what you get from GoDaddy just enough. It reminds me of a quote from Eight Men Out, a story about the 1919 Black Sox scandal in Major … [Read more...]
DomainName.com owner Yinan Wang adds Link.com to his portfolio
My friend Yinan Wang of DomainName.com and DomainNames.com fame, confirmed with me he has purchased Link.com from L3 Technologies, Inc. I noticed a whois change and he confirmed it. The domain name was created in 1989 and was being used by L3T for their services since then. The domain had never been listed for sale in past 30 years. I was told there was a strict NDA signed between L3 Technologies, Yinan … [Read more...]

Domainer who won a UDRP 6 years ago now has a 50,000 Euro payday
The top sale this week on Sedo was AppleGreen.com for 50,000 Euros or $56,005. The domain still points to Sedo parking page but when I checked the whois on DomainIQ all the info is redacted for GDPR except for the country and that shows IE, (Ireland). There is a website at applegreen.ie. Well that leads me to believe that the Irish company that brought a UDRP against the domain owner back in 2013 … [Read more...]

Shill bidding, insider information? Maybe it’s time for those bidder id’s
Back in 2017 I wrote that it was time for GoDaddy to initiate bidder id's. GoDaddy has been against this and Joe Styler has posted on Namepros in the past that they will not do that. We also wrote a post when Paul Nicks stated no plans to add them. Tonight Paul Nicks published a post about employees bidding on names at GoDaddy auctions. From the article: On March 11, a GoDaddy customer contacted us … [Read more...]
NWX.com back with it’s rightful owner
Ron Bearden the owner of NWX.com messaged me to let me know he now has ownership of his stolen domain back. In December it came out that the domain name was stolen, listed on Sedo and moved to NameSilo. Glad to see Ron get his name back and the community help those who have these kinds of problems. Name Silo worked with Ron after all the info we provided on Namepros. So Ron got the name back without … [Read more...]
