.brand domains: to be or not to be?

November 3, 2019 by Alvin Brown 1 Comment

In 2010, a growing list of well-known brands began to speculate on the future of the internet and its hopeful acceptance of new domain extensions. While .com and other legacy domain extensions have long been accepted, many of the brands couldn’t turn a blind eye to the possibility of .brand domains becoming the next big […]

I’m puzzled by the prices of numeric domains

November 2, 2019 by Alvin Brown 1 Comment

Travis at DSAD provides a good service by reporting domain auction prices daily. By using dotDB and Google search, I can roughly understand why specific domains are sold for the prices.

A bid at GoDaddy Auctions does not prevent the name from being renewed

October 31, 2019 by Raymond Hackney 2 Comments

With all the discussion about Examiner.com and it getting renewed the conversation on Namepros started mentioning a myth about GoDaddy Auctions that is apparently not true and now confirmed by me with Paul Nicks. Some members started mentioning that they were told or heard that once there was a bid, the domain could not be […]

October 29, 2019 by Raymond Hackney 5 Comments

Examiner.com is now up to $126,000 on GoDaddy auctions. While the auction is going on, one Namepros member spotted something. The former domain name that was tied to the email address for examiner.com was registered two days ago. Domains@clarityDG.com was the admin email for examiner.com. After being owned for a year by Huge Domains of […]

Corporate China loves .com

October 28, 2019 by Alvin Brown Leave a Comment

I enjoy studying domains used by Chinese companies. The reason is very simple. As China grows to become the largest economy in the world, corporate demand for domains will increase. Knowing what domains are sought after will be very useful when selling domains to China. Baidu is a valuable tool. It helps me understand domains […]

October 26, 2019 by Alvin Brown 3 Comments

There’s been much talk in the last few weeks about parking revenue and its impact on the domain industry in its entirety. While it’s safe to say that domain parking revenue may not ever return to the “good old days”, I found what Mike Berkens had to say about parking revenue and the role it […]

Recipe4Living.com after having bids removed earlier, still closes at $40,500

October 25, 2019 by Raymond Hackney 2 Comments

So after all that bid removing and rolling back to $7,200 that I mentioned earlier today, Recipe4Living.com still ends up closing at $40,500. If this name does not get paid for at $40,500 then GoDaddy really needs to start looking at how they handle their auctions, especially for auctions that cross the $5,000 threshold. You […]
