From Hubspot to Target to Newsmax, here are more end user domain sales. I'm behind on end user sales reports due to HostingCon and some travel. This is the Afternic list I would have published last week, so the sale occurred a couple weeks ago. There are big names on this list, including Hubspot and

Unfortunately her peers didn't. It's quite common for UDRPs to be filed against short domain names that can be acronyms for various businesses and organizations. These UDRP frequently target three and four letter domain names, which are often times valuable domains. A WIPO panel has just handed down a decision in the case of adac.net,...

It's nice to be back after a few days off. I usually feel extra motivated after some time away. I tried something different today and included a lot of extra brandables that usually wouldn't make the list. That's probably a good things since there's an absence of high quality exact match domains in today's inventory.

If I had the design skills of the guys over at LoveLogo I would be doing some amazing stuff.  Or maybe just photoshopping myself into a ton of photos.  There are so many things I wish I did better but I've realized you have to pick your skills because there is not enough time to master them all.  The others you'll just have to hire.  Hopefully your...

The summer months are the  slowest and the Winter months of November- February are the strongest months of the year for parking revenues. In its post DomainIndex.com write: "We have been able to use a database o...

This weekend I wrote about the biggest event in the LA startup world – Silicon Beachfest. What you might not know is that Demand Media is taking center stage at the event as one of the biggest evangelists of the LA startup scene. To start with, they are one of only two premier sponsors which

After moving my entire portfolio away from Sedo in October of last year, I finally stopped receiving those lowball $60 queries via the GoDaddy TDNAM. No hard feelings; Internet Traffic pays more for parked domains, and offers a multitude of tools to maximize your domain sales ROI. There is one thing, however, that is done

Google, already the titan in search engine volume, stores information about trillions of web pages and other private communication, such as email. Gmail was included on the PRISM list, the secret initiative by the NSA that allegedly processes mass amounts of raw data in real time. If you are concerned about your privacy online, particularly

Radix Registry will be the operator of the .Host domain registry, as it is one of the uncontested strings for which the company applied.

There are three applicants for The post .Host P...

Sedo lets some clients send sales leads to different channels than Sedo's marketplace. An alert reader came across a parked page using Sedo that caught his attention. Rather than Sedo's standard message "The domain example.com may be for sale by its owner!" with a link to the listing on Sedo, the message looked like this:...

Every once in a while, I think of a tool I think would be helpful to my business. I don't have any type of computer programming background, so instead of spinning my wheels and throwing money at something I wouldn't be able to adequately tackle, I figured I'd write a blog post about it and The post Domain Auction Prediction Algorithm appeared first...

Nominet has resurrected Direct.uk, its plan to allow people to register domain names directly under .uk. But the proposal, which was killed off in February, has been significantly revised in response to complaints from domain investors and others.

I got into a discussion with someone about keeping available cash.  We both came to the same conclusion.   You always want to keep some cash available but if a great name comes along you have to spend it.   It's then it drives you crazy because the best names come across when you don't have the money.  I never get cashless for long.  I usually wait...

Caution, caution, caution! When you sign up for an affiliate service - regular or adult related – stay away from variations of the provider's name and trademark. Wanting to be close to the source of the revenue stream can be tempting and financially rewarding at first, but can lead to a devastating  loss eventually. That's
