I buy and sell all types of domain names related to various trades and industries.

There are certain standard domain name factors I generally consider when I am trying to place a value on domain names...
Have you noticed that the new gTLD craze has kind of slowed down? It has been fun, but the special element surrounding these new extensions has kind of halted for
Looks like this is going to the first weekend since Mid December that I don't have to work. I'm trying to think what I'm going to do with all my free time. I know I'm going to get in an 18 mile run this morning but I'm either going to update a bunch of my websites or maybe I'll build a new house. Maybe I'll finish reading the rest of WikiPedia. ...
An expired domain list is a fantastic resource to find expiring domain name. These lists contain thousands of domains that are due to expire. So why would anyone go through a list thousands of domains names. The main reason that people will use these lists is that amongst all the rubbish expiring domains there will be some that are ideal for redeve...
The estate of the late Elvis Presley took 20 years to get hold of Graceland.com, a domain registered in 1994; that was at the very dawn of the commercial Internet. The UDRP against Graceland.com was brought at the National Arbitration Forum in January. Graceland.com displays Biblical quotes and content, along with Google ads. Despite requesting [&#...
Torrent Freak reported that Domains By Proxy, the privacy service from Go Daddy, turned over the personal details of one of their customers. The majority of the 83 comments are taking a lot of shots at Go Daddy, as some think its bogus that Go Daddy uses the word potentially and does not have definitive proof by copyright holder.
As one commenter p...

Twitter has started recognizing new gTLDs on its web page and on Tweetdeck. As of some point in the last 48 hours, you can type something like "nic.berlin" or "fire.plumbing" in a tweet and Twitter will automatically turn it into a clickable link. The switcheroo seems to have happened in the last two days, as […]

These days, information is everything; the amount of raw data collected on everyday activities can be astounding. WHOIS information is collected at the time a domain is registered or altered, and while a single domain name can't always reveal much, data analysis across the entire WHOIS database can lead to some interesting conclusions. Donuts, Inc....

The new gTLD registry Dot Strategy included many famous brands on its list of premium .buzz names, including two that could get its partner, Go Daddy-owned Afternic, in hot water.

It's a very good time to live in New Zealand, because if you do, then you're about to get early access to some of the best .KIWI names before anyone else.

Today, I'll be analyzing the "false dilemma" fallacy (logical error) from the perspective of a domainer. As the name suggests, we're dealing with such a fallacy whenever someone tries to make it seem that the two options which are being presented are the only possible solutions despite the fact that there are actually more.
Here's an...
Planet Dot Eco has finally passed its ICANN evaluation, meaning the four-way contention set for one of the oldest public new gTLD ideas, .eco, can move forward a little.

My article yesterday morning about finding a domain owner begs the question, "why don't you contact the hosting company and ask them to put you in touch with the domain owner?" Nobody asked this question, but I'll address it because it covers an interesting topic. When I am trying to buy or sell a domain owner (buy in this case), I don't want an in...

During the last couple of weeks, there have been news reported about several exact match .com domain names and the companies that operate them.
