The way WHOIS information is presented these days, differs from a year ago. Queries now display information that places emphasis and priority on the Registrar of the domain, including their contact email address for abuse. While this change appears to be subtle, it can have an impact on your privacy and business. When someone uses […]
Domain Incite and TheDomains have reported on the retrieval of some new gTLD domain names that were sold by registrars and in the accounts of domain owners.

Celebrities give Name.com a high five. Name.com did a rather clever marketing gimmick during SXSW Interactive in Austin. It sent one of its customer service reps to the city as "High Five Guy". For every high five he got (10,000) the company donated 5 cents to an Austin charity. It's difficult to attract attention during […]

Donuts has clawed back a couple dozen premium domain names from their erstwhile owners after accidentally selling names that were supposed to be restricted.

As an investor, being open minded enough to change your opinion whenever the arguments overwhelmingly point in that direction is a huge advantage. Most people don't do this, primarily for ego-related reasons.
Since I own DomainingTips, I've obviously asked myself this question quite often, especially over the past couple of months: will domainers c...

The tech sector in San Francisco is booming, and two thirds of all the office space is used by technology corporations. That constant growth has led to a less obvious revelation: all the good company names are long gone. With more than 112 million dot .com domains in active registrations, it is clear that the […]
Donuts' new gTLD .exposed goes into sunrise today, but will it put the fear into trademark owners? It's arguably the first "ransom" TLD to go live in the current round and the first since .xxx, which scared mark holders into blocking over 80,000 domains back in late 2011. Most new gTLD sunrise periods to date […]

Trademark counsel should pay attention to the latest TLD to enter sunrise.

My tolerance for unsavory commentary is relatively high – unless it involves unfounded accusations that are borderline libelous.
