Perhaps I have high expectations from people; I treat my communications with a polite, friendly tone. When someone makes several attempts to get in touch, I assume they are looking for a dialogue.

Here's the summary for the impatient: The domains jis.com, Leading.net, Southeast.net and Jaxnet.com are currently in the hands of a person who took control of a managing domain's account and impersonated its owner. I'm sure you want the juicy details, so please bear with me for a while, as I take a trip down memory
Judging by the email offers I've received on some pretty good, keyword domains I've received this week, I can confidently state that the sob story season is now upon us.
I've received no less than three offers on domains this week and every one of them provides a reason why the potential buyer can't pay the

Quinstreet is clear about what it acquired when it bought Insurance.com. It wasn't just a domain name. I just finished listening to Quinstreet's investor conference call from last night, in which the company reported it paid $35.6 million in total consideration for Insurance.com. Now the big question, as others are debating right now: How much...
Shunned by UDRP, former domain owner takes his case to court. After losing a UDRP case for the domain name ChicagoRestaurant.com, Chicago Restaurant & Entertainment Guide, Inc., has filed an in rem lawsuit against the domain name alleging cybersquatting. Before you yell "that's a generic!", you should know that this domain name was allegedly s...
New topical online domain stores try a different tact to sell domain names. Most online domain name marketplaces are generic in nature, letting customers search or navigate to the category of their choosing. Does it make sense to have online marketplaces specific to a particular category, too? A handful of entrepreneurs and domainers think so....
Domain broker has another big week. Domain name brokerage Sedo has completed the sale of Showtimes.com for a quarter million dollars to lead its sales list for the week. The domain name appears to have been sold by Hollywood.com, which previously forwarded the domain name to its web site. The new buyer is using a

If you were to visit LiveDomainAuction.net at 9:30 AM this morning, it would have been just another quick click out of a domain name sitting parked. Well, since I said I was going to slowly start developing my domain names that are sitting parked, this is one that I worked on this morning.
I didn't just
Here is a story from the other side of the coin! Normally, we always here about TV shows and businesses filing lawsuits against a domain owner because of name or domain name that matches or is considered similar to a company name or show but this time a business owner that owns the matching name
Sedo.com has just brokered the domain name sale of Car-Insurance.co for $1,200 USD. Was this the first reported hyphen .co domain name? (I typed .com twice already instead of .co)
It appears that this is the first reported hyphenated .co (third time) domain name that I have seen sell since the public launch of the .co
I read an "Open Letter to .CO Registrants" posted on the .CO Registry website by Eduardo Santoyo, Vice President & ccTLD Manager for the Registry. I think any domain owner who bought .CO domain names should have a look at the letter to know where the Registry stands when it comes to trademark infringement.

WordPress is a thing of beauty. An open-source blogging platform that gives you complete freedom to quickly and easily create, update, and manage your website.

The domain disabled.com will be sold to the highest bidder at T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Dublin Domain Conference and Expo on August 25th.

As most readers know, and all non-Americans know, lifts are what the world calls the American "elevators". Of course there's also the option of doing a site about Breast Lifts.

We often criticize the drop services for allowing bidding on well know famous trademarked domain names. Today's I found that NameJet.com is taking backorders on a domain which is pretty amazing, and kind of amusing. NameJet.com is allowing people to backorder, the soon to be dropped domain, NameJet.Me. If Namejet.com is successful in acquiring the...
There are of course a lot of ways of making money in the domain industry,? but here's a new one that may have never been tried before. Lets say you decided you really want to bid on a .CO domain that's in the land rush auction that you didn't place a land rush application on.
