June 10, 2019 by Raymond Hackney 1 Comment

There have been some solid domains that expired lately on GoDaddy. BlueDot.com which closed at $33,100, 3196.com which still has days to go and jumped to $27,500 in the first few hours. I especially liked CloudPay.com which just closed at $31,612. This was a Name.com name, not GoDaddy. Cloud and Pay are two very popular […]

May 21, 2019 by Raymond Hackney 7 Comments

So a gentleman name Kyle Byers published a post and a Reddit thread that took a look at .com vs other tlds.

April 10, 2019 by Raymond Hackney 5 Comments

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 […]
