The .Moe registry predicted that .Moe would get 200 Million domain name registrations in short order, blowing past .Com registration which are at over 113,500,000 registrations. Well after the first day .Moe is well on its way after racking up 1,070 registrations after Sunrise, Landrush and on the 1st day of General Availability (GA). .Moe […...

.Tokyo launched and taking into account the 80+ Sunrise and Landrush application I would say a first day total of less than 10,000 registrations isn't great. The price of a .Tokyo domain name registration was very reasonable priced at around $15, There were no premium registration and renewal priced domains although there were certainly reserved [&...

When Airbnb announced the redesign of their corporate logo to one with combined phallic and vaginal overtones, many could not believe how the designers didn't notice the obvious. Here's a quick explanation. Sometimes, designers get caught up in the concept and attempt to present an abstract image that combines a variety of elements, forming somethi...

DotWeekly.com - DotWeekly Internet Ventures Staples, Inc has purchased the call to action domain name MakeMoreHappen.com on or about 2/4/2014 for an undisclosed amount (I tried). The domain name was under the generic "DnSinations Inc and Matt Serlin" whois data until recently. Prior to that, the domain was under privacy protection prior and registe...

Contrary to what you see on at some domain auctions, there is some strategy/skill behind a listing. I read through the auctions over at Flippa and see countless auctions that have starting bids of $500, $5000, even $10,000. There is absolutely no point to starting an auction for more than a $1. I get it why people may do it at other houses. Namejet...

Leave it up to business journals to ruin the fun for everyone else, as far as domain name investing goes. A new article on the Indian edition of Business Insider attempts to list the top domain sales over $1,000,000 dollars. Citing DNJournal as its primary resource is hardly a surprise, but then the article, written […] Copyright DomainGang

Mike Mann‘s recent sale of the domain name MakeSomeNoise.com for $40,000 dollars made some speculate about the buyer.

Late last week we covered the big slam-dunk by ICANN on serial slammers, Domain Registry of America; their registrar outfit, NameJuice, aka "Brandon Gray Internet Services" was given a 90 day suspension. DROA operates other similar points of contact, such as Domain Registry of Canada, Domain Registry of Europe and Internet Registry of Canada. For [...

.Tokyo launched today and is live for domain registrations which seem to be running around $15 a year. It is by far the largest city to have launched its own new gTLD extension with a population of over 13 million people. I went through the zone file and found Apple who rarely participates in new […]

I'm looking forward to going to NamesCon next year. Although some complain about them, most domain conferences do a pretty good job. I've been to conferences in other industries and

Now that we are well on our way into the new gTLD process I thought it would be a good time to poll the domain community on what pricing seems to be working and what isn't. Without a doubt it is clear that the registration price of a domain name directly impacts the growth of […]

There is a battle brewing between software companies Salesforce.com and Strong View Systems. The battle is over a recently launched product from Salesforce.com called, Social Studio.

Australian start-up Canva received an additional $3.6 million in financing and announced a partnership with Go Daddy. The product does seem cool for those that don't have the skills of a trained graphic artist. Crunch Base – Canva makes graphic design amazingly simple for everyone, by bringing together a drag-and-drop design tool with a libra...

Another week of solid 4 and 5-figure domain sales at Flippa. Some domains that sold Oar.com – $28,500 – Ouch……someone lost some bucks……sold in January 2013 on Flippa for $69,000. The interesting/odd thing is that there were 5 bidders at/above $50k a year ago. AZU.com – $18,000 – This one actually sold...

Some new gTLDs have been criticized for a lack of promotion. Industry giant Sedo plans to turn up the volume for the new G's by organizing a major domain presence at Europe's biggest digital marketing conference, a September event that expects to welcome approximately 30,000 attendees.

These ten domain names strike me as fairly priced for the right buyer. Heritage Auctions holds its next domain name auction on Thursday, July 24. It's getting quit a bit of press around this auction, thanks in part to the Bitcoins.com domain name. There's a $750,000 reserve on that one. It will be interesting to […]

Another weekend has flown right by. I'm still getting adjusted to having the weekend off. It's been a fun adjustment. This past weekend we headed over to Manhattan Beach. It's

When you attempt to roll a generic word or phrase into a trademark, you'd better be using it actively. In a UDRP at the WIPO over the domain name FinancialServicesRoundtable.com the Complainant, Financial Services Roundtable of Washington, DC attempted to indicate the Respondent has no legitimate rights to the domain. The Complainant portrayed them...

I really wanted that domain name, and I typed it in the browser. So it's parked at Frank Schilling's Domain Name Sales platform, which I'm familiar with. Great. So I made an inquiry to get a response and a quote back, as I don't place offers right away; I want to take the pulse of […] Copyright DomainGang

Two Japan-focused domains kick off the week. It's another busy week for new top level domain names, including a big .city domain name hitting registrar's shelves on Tuesday.

This has to be the worst list I've ever done.  I wouldn't even have done a list but I didn't want you to think I skipped a day.  I might as well have.  There is nothing but a lot of junk. Namejet may have had a few better names but for some reason it would never load.  I thought it was my connection but everything else worked fine.  There is going ...
