Locked out of GoDaddy account - Stolen
Access to a company's domain registered at GoDaddy is disabled, due to the credentials being set by a former employee. The domain was acquired before the employee was even hired but GoDaddy requires a lot of proof before giving access to it. What can the company do?

Say goodbye to Dan, Dan is the best domain trading platform in my mind
Dan.com is shutting down as GoDaddy prefers its Afternic brand. A lot of domain investors who used the platform are not happy; it was a great company that won't exist past October 15th. Join in and share your ...condolences.

Personal Gmail or Professional domain email?
Gmail is a popular, free email that has strong spam filtration in place. A domain investor eager to sell domains is wondering if Gmail should be preferred over a "professional" domain-based email account that conveys their own brand. Share your opinion in this interesting exchange.

20 years old domain with no use
A domain that was registered 20 years ago hasn't been used for anything other than redirecting to another brand. How useful would it be to a domain investor and what type of use should they pursue for it? Short answer: It depends! Discuss and share what you'd do with it in this type of situation.

Trying to buy a name for a friend that's expiring
HugeDomains is the registrant of a domain that expired not too long ago. The asking price is quite substantial and that poses a quandary to a domain investor who'd like to acquire this domain for a friend's business. Should he wait, or pay the full price even though the domain expired a month ago?
