    advice Better to add payment installments to generate more sales?

    Just came across this thread and bumping it to share my experience. So far in 2019 I've made 6 sales via monthly payment plans, all at DAN. I've made 24 sales this year, so far, so that is 1/4 of my sales. Of these, 3 have completed, 1 did not complete, and the other 2 are still making...

    This seems to be the real story: "Tuvalu has also launched an ambitious project to become the world’s first digital nation."

    registrars GNAME.COM is from now the second most powerfull registrar after Dropcatch.com in backorder domain names

    @Armageddon is there any indication they accredited more registrars? They cleaned house today, catching 8 of 17 names on my backorder list. That's almost 50%.

    registrars GNAME.COM is from now the second most powerfull registrar after Dropcatch.com in backorder domain names

    This is why I have not used Gname yet to backorder, on the assumption that if I was the sole bidder on a name caught by any of the other services, than I would actually be creating a second bidder and thereby sending the domain to auction instead of catching it uncontested. However now that a...

    registrars What Registrar Besides GoDaddy Gives Best Aftermarket Coverage?

    FYI, not long ago I had a buyer try to purchase a domain through a partner registrar of Afternic, but the they must have abandoned the cart or there was a problem at checkout, so they then went and searched the domain at another registrar which was a Sedo partner and bought it there. However...

    question Highest SquadHelp Sales

    What are the highest reported SquadHelp sales you know of? I see that BuyK.com sold for $50k and SellPlus.com for $42,999. Does anyone know of any others in the high 5-figures? Have there been any 6-figure sales? Please share what you know.

    What are the odds of this happening?

    Okay, this is so utterly bizarre I had to share it. Really I can't even imagine the odds of this happening. I just signed up to NameLiquidate to test it out. I decided to try out a single domain. Here is the domain I picked: SanDiegoCleaningServices.com Once I added the domain from the...

    discuss .GG Showcase and Discussion

    Hi all, While doing my due diligence on .gg and the esports niche, I came across this article which is a very interesting read, and highly recommend others check it out before getting too carried away on registering .gg domains. Shady Numbers and Bad Business: Inside the Esports Bubble...

    discuss So what's your calling? And what do domain names have to do with it?

    Not sure entirely but I suspect you mistook the point of my post. On the other hand, forgive me if it came off as somewhat cryptic in nature, but if you notice it was carefully worded so as to omit any reference to "I" or "my", thus there is no one at the center of it all to attack (nor praise)...

    Industry-wide Need For Domainer Portfolio Management Service

    As I laid out in a recent tweet: I believe there is a need in the domain industry for a domainer focused portfolio management service. It's a service I'd definitely be willing to pay for, so I suspect others would as well. I'm not talking about corporate domain portfolio management, like a...

    I didn't know him personally, but remember watching his talk virtually at a recent NamesCon and it making a positive impression on me. My sincere condolences and sympathies to his family, friends and colleagues.

    Screw DAN.com (Wtf these demands??)

    KYC is disgusting. Terrorists be like, "we tryin' to fight terrorism!" Bitcoin was invented because government bureaucrats willfully destroy the economic welfare of their citizens through rampant money printing/inflation, taxation, confiscation, and corporate bailouts (cronyism). They get away...

    .tv State of the Dot TV (.tv) Market

    I should also mention, fwiw, i think the Nambio chart showed it was declining since even prior to 2012, however in 2011 there was a huge spike on one of the months (maybe Sedo had a .tv auction?) that made the scale of the chart too hard to read when zoomed out further.

    .tv State of the Dot TV (.tv) Market

    Also valid points. Marketing cannot hurt though, but could certainly help. In the case of .xyz, I believe the extension was greatly assisted by Google's adoption of Alphabet and ABC using .xyz. If tomorrow Apple or Google launched a major brand on .tv, that alone would likely reverse the...

    Domainers Against MFA NOW (DAMN)

    If this is the standard, surely 99% of sites are not in compliance including the largest. Do you MFA into Amazon or Ebay? I don't. And is it a problem? In any case, if you know which companies make up the council, and if you have an accurate worldview, it's not too hard to figure out where all...

    Domainers Against MFA NOW (DAMN)

    Thanks for the reply. In the case of DropCatch I don't see what the risk is ... Someone's going to hack into my account to place backorders on my behalf? Or someone will use my account to bid on an auction, and then win the name and it goes into my NameBright account which they would also then...

    Domainers Against MFA NOW (DAMN)

    Still, I would like us to do more, and feel that the best solution is to enable individual account control from within the user dashboard to enable/disable MFA at will.

    registrars What Registrar Besides GoDaddy Gives Best Aftermarket Coverage?

    Just transferred a swath of 20 recently acquired domains to Sav, first time not consolidating to GoDaddy in many years. It's a big step, but feels like a big relief, like an inner shift and sense of freedom that I no longer need to accept being chained to something that makes me miserable...
