In a pretty unusually worded press release sent out by Artemis Energy Holdings, Inc. (OTC Pink: ARTT) (PINKSHEETS: ARTT) it said it "recently entered into an agreement to purchase the domain name Findit.com. The company has opened escrow and made the initial payment." "The domain Findit.com has been transferred to Escrow.com and Artemis Energy Hold...
NameJet is teaming up with the .Dance Registry to auction 20 premium reserved .Dance domain names. Although I am not into dance or dancing (as my wife can attest), it looks like a few of the best .Dance combos will be up for auction. In my opinion, the three most relevant .Dance domain names in this auction include: Line.Dance (Never done it) Swing...
Microsoft has abandonded its application for the .live new gTLD, leaving the erstwhile dot-brand in the hands of either Donuts or Google. I found this quite surprising initially, as "Live" has been a core, cross-platform brand for the company, covering services such as Windows Live, Xbox Live and Office Live. The company also owns live.com. […...

In the 1990‘s things were definitely simpler; the Internet was something that one "installed" on their home computer. Parents and kids gathered around, to "surf the Internet" and knowledge had an advantage over entertainment. The Internet was touted as a learning tool to improve school grades, and parents used it to follow stocks and pay [...

Just about everyone likes to receive offers for their domain names, and I think there are basically three types of offers: lowball, reasonable, and great. You can probably re-name these categories however you wish, but these are pretty much the only types of offers. From my perspective, the worst kind of offer is the reasonable offer. We've all rec...

If you're like me, you may have been a bit confused when you first heard about what a "domain landrush" is. I have to assume that most people in the general public don't have any idea what a domain landrush is, and I think domain registrars could probably do a better job explaining what the term means. For example, it doesn't seem like registrars a...

In my opinion, there are two possibilities. If development is something you're good at or passionate about then sure, go ahead. If not however, then you're better off letting those who are do it for you. At the end of the day, it's all a matter of crunching some numbers.
For example, a 500-word article costs

Over the past number of months, actually years, people have become suspicious of unusually high prices paid for some names over at Godaddy Auctions. Names that jump quickly or have high prices and low bidders draw the most attention. All the banter in the forums and comments is bashing the system for lack of policing what they deem is fraud. But...
A few days ago we covered the sale of Extinct.com – a premium domain name – by domain investor, Conan Pravasi.

The ever-busy Pravasi contacted us with […]

This is a dangerous approach in my opinion and at least based on my experience, one with relatively poor results. A lot of domainers make the mistake of thinking that an end user who is motivated to buy today will still be interested in the future.
In other words, they end up thinking that since they're
