Another Example of The Random Nature of Domain Sales

June 3, 2016 by Raymond Hackney 7 Comments

There was a sale on the Sedo sales report that caught my eye this week, it was not a blockbuster sale by any means. I always look at the other tld sales section and focus on the random .net and .org sales. Every domain investor owns several similar names that are basically reg fee names […]

A look at some BrandBucket type sales on Sedo this week

June 1, 2016 by Raymond Hackney 8 Comments

This week was a good example of why you can’t put all your brandable eggs in one basket. While the brandable boutiques specialize in selling brandable names you can be found on Sedo as well. I would say the advantages of Sedo are 10% commission if you want to use their nameservers and list as […]

Is your domain name in their upgrade path?

May 30, 2016 by Alvin Brown 7 Comments

It’s common to see companies in China upgrade their domain names. There can be many reasons, such as better name, prestige, publicity, expanded business line, and going global. .com is king in China’s corporate world.

A Hand Reg Home Run and Why You Need Patience

May 29, 2016 by Raymond Hackney 12 Comments
