Humans are somehow obsessed with dates and numbers.
Since the early days of cave-dwelling, counting the goods we owned has apparently instilled a certain level of instinctive focus on numbers: how many, how often, when.
When it comes down to domains and domain portfolios, renewal dates are effective timestamps that tell us it's time to fork out...

Whatever happened to the Dotster Dots?
There have been a lot of bad stunts, publicity attempts, and ads put out by domain name registrars. But one of them stands out as perhaps the worst of all time: The Dotster Dots.
Dotster was one of the first discount domain name registrars, but has languished through the last
German entity buys Schmuck.com domain name.
Sedo has sold the domain name Schmuck.com for 49,000 EUR, or roughly $66,000 at today's exchange rates. Before you think it's going to be some site about jerks or idiots, it looks like this may be a brand name in Germany, and it's also a common surname.
Sedo broke the
.Tel travels into "renewal valley". How will it come out on the other side?
The folks at .tel registry Telnic are certainly sweating this week: .tel domain names registered during general availability are hitting their first renewal period.
I call this period — when new top level domain names hit there first renewal period — the...
It was brought to my attention today that a domain name currently at auction on Sedo.com has capitalized letters for keywords that easily allows readers to read the domain name better. This is interesting because Sedo is one of the few domain name marketplaces that does not allow domain names submitted as they were by
I have written several times that there can be a large difference in values of domain names based on if the domain name is singular or plural. Sometimes the plural version of the domain name is more valuable and sometimes the singular version is the likely the highest valued. The value is often higher based
I was going through some of my mini site numbers today, and as I've done occasionally in the past, I figured I would give you an update on their performance. Prior to building these sites, none of the domain names had much traffic (under 1 visitor per day average), and a few of the domain

I sent an email to several officials with the Boston Globe today, as I am considering the sale of a number of Massachusetts city .com domain names. One of the contacts I emailed is a Vice President at the company, and his email address is listed as the Whois contact. For some reason, this particular

In fact, 500 is just the maximum reading on the scale. It doesn't go any higher. Looks like they are going to have to readjust the scale. Read more articles on this topic at Green TaxiHong Kong Smog at ...

According to WIPO, the number of cases filed under the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) in 2009 decreased by 9.5% compared to the previous year.

Those complaints concerned 4,688 domain names, compared to 3,958 in
I was recently asked to assist a client of ParkLogic in a domain sale of com.au domains. Unlike .com domains com.au domains have some very peculiar rules about them that if broken could end you up in hot water via the governing body AUDA.
Many registrars take advantage of these rules to exploit their customers and generate huge fees for little to n...
This may not sound like much of an update, but it's been an annoyance for many customers who upload a large number of domain names using our "Bulk Add Sites" screen.

Hi Everyone !
Let me share with you some domain deals that I purchase in the last couple of weeks.
I saw a lot of good domains going for very low prices because of the economy (I guess).
I decided that right now, this is a great time to expand my portfolio with some good .com domains and
Are domain auctions doomed to fail or will Domain Madness 2 pick up bidding in its last minutes? There's no arguing that the appeal of a good domain name auction is having an inventory of great domains, and Domain Madness 2 certainly has some great names up for auction - HappyBirthday.com, Enlargements.com, Holdings.com, Idol.com, to name a few.

In an effort to retain thousands of .tel domains that expired or will expire during the remainder of the week, TelNic – the Registry known for the biggest and most inventive TLD ever to leave the ICANN uterus – considers offering free renewals.
