It's early Valentine‘s here at DomainGang, as a very thoughtful Domain Queen sent us a sweet and whimsical gift. Taking a break from her busy day, Charlotte Gilbert mailed us an official "royal bobblehead" figure of herself, along with a heart full of chocolates, and a card filled with nice words. This clearly made our […]

I've been running a business in one form or another since 1991. Since I've been an adult I have not had a boss. I've had partners and investors that I have to answer to, but none of them has been as tough to compete against as myself. My own personal drive to do better. After all these years there is one thing that has haunted, driven, and dist...
I noticed that Enom gave a special offer to buy .Rocks domain names in support of the team my New England Patriots are playing in the Super Bowl on Sunday. I replied to them and jokingly asked about a offer code for Pats fans, too. Enom obliged and you can get a .Rocks domain name for $5.00 using the coupon code: GOPATS. That Twitter exchange got m...
Bruce Marler was visibly excited about the biggest gathering of domainers, that was about to put TRAFFIC to shame. "Tiffany, get your luggage ready, we're going to NamesCon." Tiffany put her beer down, another empty bottle in a row of four, next to an empty box of Kobayashi sushi. It was getting chilly in Missouri, […]

The Complainant, MySQL AB, challenged the Respondent's registration of the domain MySQL.email. The MySQL trademark has been registered since 2003 and it's […]

Joseph Peterson looks back at the past week in expired domain name sales at NameJet. NameJet's top expired domain sale during the past week was Lucie.com at only $5.6k. Last week, that same domain would have been #7 – far behind the $29.1k leader. That isn't to say that Lucie.com was NameJet's biggest auction; actually I […]
The story about how Bruce Marler got Credit.Club is interesting, and it has been covered in a variety of news outlets, blogs, and forums. Marler already built a website on the domain name, and it appears to be doing well in Google already. According to a tweet from .Club Registry CEO Colin Campbell, the Credit.Club website "hits first page of Googl...
Amazon is one of the biggest portfolio applicants for new gTLDs, but to date we haven't heard much from the e-commerce giant about how it intends to use its new assets. That could change soon, however. The company is currently looking to bulk up its registry services staff, according to two job ads posted to […]

I am one of the few people that is making good money on the new gTLDs. I've made a few thousand just in the last few days on many of the new Gs as they are called. I realize it can change but this week has been great and I hope that the good luck continues. My secret? Buy Rightside when it dropped into the 6s. Here are today's names. GiftMugs.c...
Welcome to another round of domain movers in a series where I search tens of thousands of domains that secretly move around and unless somebody is digging, likely wouldn't notice them. Some of these domains have been sold (to a large company or by a large company) some are just moving for a reason or unknown reason. I try to find sales prices if I ...
Appfield.net is a German technology services provider that is rolling out a new product, Discard.email. The product is a disposable email service that will let users use their own domain name if they wish. Of course it is hard business out there competing with the likes of Gmail and Yahoo. The service claims to be […]
The screenshots below are examples of buyers of domains from the last few months that have either developed their sites, or purchased an upgrade domain and have redirected their acquisition to an existing website. FullGear.com sold for $10,000 at Sedo. It's a smart upgrade from GoFullGear.com. A maker of custom sportswear, based in Utah. "Create am...
The owner of the domain name airlineonline.com just got hit with a UDRP by the owner of the domain name Airlineonline.aero It doesn't look like the ownership of the .com has changed since at least January 2013. Obviously in my opinion as generic a domain as you can get The Complainant was […]
A Very Important Person that was instrumental for putting NamesCon 2015 together, is missing from a NamePros video making the rounds.

Someone is having fun with GoDaddy's withdrawn commercial…and doing it with GoDaddy services. GoDaddy won't run its controversial Journey Home commercial during the Super Bowl on Sunday. The ad featured a site called Gabby's Goldens that sold dogs online. It drew the ire of pet lovers and advocates everywhere. Yet someone is having some fun [...
A few days ago we indicated the roots of the word "Oreos" to be a phonetic representation of the Greek word for "handsome" or "beautiful", ??????. The domain Oreos.com was auctioned off yesterday, and the winner paid $1,650 to acquire the domain, which – depending on use – might have some issues with the famous […]

It's often a good idea to refresh one's business, and Domaining.com, the active project of French domain entrepreneur Francois Carrillo, is not an exception.

Sedo reports of domain sales have been averaging $2,000 to $3,000 over the course of more than a year; the domain venue generates its sizable revenue by selling vast quantities of domains.

Verisign is giving away $100,000 in cash prizes in the next three months for contestants that: * Register the most descriptive, memorable and original .COM domain name(s) * Submit your newly registered .COM name(s) HERE with a description of why it's so awesome * Promote the new domain on your social […]
A weekly run-down of end user domain name sales at Sedo. Sedo's top reported sale last week was SuperSeats.com, which Michael Berkens sold for a staggering $48,888. With Sedo still in possession of the domain, I can't confirm my hunch that SuperSeats.net was the buyer. Some other large sales are in the same boat, including RBU.com ($27,500) and 200...

Tech Cocktail published an extensive article about the 8.CO domain name that is now up for auction via Heritage Auctions. You'll notice that Tech Cocktail uses Tech.CO for its website, so it isn't a surprise that the author wrote that 8.CO "may just be the luckiest domain on the Web." I think the auction is going to do well, and the article cites q...

GoDaddy, once again, is getting a lot of press for its Super Bowl ad. How much of it was planned? If you pay for a Super Bowl commercial and no one talks about it before or after the big game, you got ripped off. GoDaddy discovered this many years ago and has mastered the art […]
.Space tops in registrations with about 1,700 on first day. When it comes to most registrations, .space appears to have topped the list of this week's new top level domain name launches.

Five new gTLD's had their first day of general availability yesterday. Here the total number of domain registrations after the first day.

Looking through Ron's weekly sales list it's hard not to get excited about the state of domains. Sure there are tons of classes of domains who's values have dropped to almost nothing. New gTLDs don't have an aftermarket yet but the top quality names are flying. Numbers, short, and dictionary words are just starting to take off. Just starting to t...

Just like statements of impending suicide, death threats should always be taken very seriously.
