Of course, financing domain names is nothing new under the sun. Domain leasing and financing certainly happens each and every week, if not on a daily basis. It’s not news to read about a person or company leveraging varying financing options to hopefully stake their claim to highly-valued virtual real estate. The question I pose is whether or not financing of new gTLDs is likely the chasm that … [Read more...]

Should you auction your new gtld at a live auction?
There were 135 lots in the NamesCon live auction. Of those 135 lots, 20 were new gtlds. 15 out of the 20 sold. The top sale was Business.Loans at $10,000. Tax.help sold for $6,000 and Porn.Club sold for $5,000. A lot of $300 and $500 sales that with a healthy commission probably add up to little profit. It makes one think if they should place their new gtld into auction. It's great exposure and maybe … [Read more...]

Cisco and Intel roll out websites built on a .tech
Radix who is a sponsor here on TLDinvestors is seeing some big companies develop on their .tech extension. .Tech has been one of the new gtld's that I have liked and felt stood a good chance for success.

I had try to pick up a few names, and did pick up Chameleon.tech which I liked for myself, not to resell … [Read more...]

New Gtlds, the series – Chapter 1 ICANN
Many try to talk about the new gtlds in very simplistic terms, naysayers just want to group them altogether and say they suck, failed, are dead. Proponents want to say they are the future, give them time, .com is AM radio. I would argue the new gtlds are a much more complicated animal. There are many things to look at in both the short and long term. This is the first chapter of a new series looking at … [Read more...]
Uncertainty is a killer for domain sales
