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...

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 ...

Yet another milestone was achieved moments ago, for the talented, melancholic Lana Del Rey. After two back to back Rolling Stone magazine covers, it's time to take over Facebook. Domain investor Rob Grant‘s daughter's rise to stratospheric levels can now be proven by 10,000,000 Likes on Facebook, on top of millions of album sales. We […...

Last week I wrote this article about new gTLD's and how they could increase their profits. If you haven't read it yet, go here now. Although it was a very niche article (only a handful of my readers are Registries), the number of page views rocketed past 100+ in a short period of time. Some people ...

DotWeekly.com - DotWeekly Internet Ventures In today's DotWeekly Discoveries, I only included newly registered domain names.

 I'm halfway through today.  Today I turn 45.  I normally don't like to make a big deal about my birthday.  I even changed it on Facebook to the wrong date because I really don't want people to make a big deal about it or feel forced to say Happy Birthday.  But today is a big deal for me because I really do feel like I've hit middle age. The best t...

I had three names end yesterday at Flippa and none of them met reserve.  It's always a little disappointing when your names don't hit the number you hoped but  have to admit I love being on the selling side and watching the final moments of the auctions.  It's addicting.  You know what you need out of it to make money.  Some times it doesn't get th...

In my opinion, this is a feature all registrars should have and as a domainer, I consider it quite desirable. Several companies already offer this and not having to wait that much for a transfer to finalize is a very nice perk. For those that don't know what expediting a transfer means, it's quite simple to

ICANN has sent a letter of suspension to the domain registrar behind the notorious Domain Registry of America (DROA), a company that is allegedly one of the biggest domain slammers on the Internet.
