June 9, 2016 by Alvin Brown 4 Comments

This company recently upgraded its domain name — but from one difficult name to another one, in my opinion. 易 房网 (Yi Fang Wang) is an online real estate service operated by a Qingdao-based company founded in 2009.

A price war is going on in China

June 7, 2016 by Alvin Brown 3 Comments

We just witnessed .xyz overtaking .info to become the 4th largest generic domain extension in the world, thanks to the 2.5m new registrations racked up within just two days when .xyz was selling at as low as $0.01 USD per domain name. When I look at China, I see a race going on and it’s […]

June 4, 2016 by Alvin Brown 8 Comments

承泰 (Cheng Tai) does not need Mana.com for its operation. Nevertheless, the company spent almost a year and also close to 7 figures CNY to acquire this name from its overseas seller, and then let it sit quietly in the corner.
