Tracing Why A Domain Name Expires Can Be Interesting

 Mark As Read    

Tens of thousands of domain names expire every single day. That alone is pretty interesting when you consider the $ involved in simply registering a domain name. Lets say, some 85,000 domain names (which is a pretty accurate estimate) are released from the registries each day. $10 per domain on average, for 1 year registration and that is $850,000!...

Domain Names: Location, Location, Location or Brand?

 Mark As Read    

I have been in the domain name industry since 2005/2006 time frame and I often hear people compare domain names to physical real estate, with an expression of "Location, Location, Location".
