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 […]

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
