Tips for preventing domain theft

I've been thinking about steps to take to prevent domain theft and thought it might be worthwhile to start a thread where we can share ideas on how to best secure our domain assets. I'll start the ball rolling with some ideas of my own ( some of them might be overly paranoid :) ) and hopefully...

S*m*i*l*e*C*a*r*d, purchased for $80 in Oct as a namejet pre-release and sold for $2500 via a negotiated sale on an Afternic network listing. I think there was a lot more upside potential for this domain, but a bird in the hand... P*l*a*y*A*t purchased for $69 via a Snapnames pre-release in Feb...

My sixth sense is worthless and If I had to rely on it, I'd be broke. :) I try for the most part to make purchases based on research because that's where my strength lies. I wrote a script that does a lot of my research for me and emails me a daily spreadsheet listing all the domains that meet...

Yes, I know. The only person we can trust is the coup-plotting serial adulterer and sexual abuser who's cheated his creditors, cheated his contractors,operated a business that's been convicted of criminal tax fraud, run a scam charity,run a scam university, has hired more felons than the average...

question Would you counter a 6 figures offer from a big company?

The problem with saying no is that you risk never hearing from these people again. The problem with saying yes too quickly is that they might then wonder if they might not have been able to get it for less. When you get an offer that you're willing to accept your goal should be to a) feel them...

discuss Your HAND REGD & DROPPED DOMAINS success stories!

To be perfectly honest, I totally bungled my way into a sale with respect to that cloud domain. When I first found it, I saw $ signs because the domain was a perfect match for offerings by some big players ( eg Unisys ). So I sent out a mailing to a dozen large corporations and waited for the...

Warning against a member...

You're confusing 2 issues. Whether the domain seller breached your terms is separate from the question of whether or not you handled the situation well and the fact that you're being criticized for posting here does not imply that anyone is sympathizing with him. It just means that people don't...

I bought c*h*e*v*e*u*x... in July. I found it accidentally while researching the domain greffedecheveux which was an expired domain up for auction on GD that day. I first wanted to see how much people had historically been willing to pay for domains with the word cheveux in it ( french for...

Hand registering domains is a mugs game - Here's why

No offense, but I think that you've misidentified the problem. The real problem isn't hand-regs, it's this attitude: "Eventually you end up registering anything just to feel that the fruits of your labour are worth something right? And hey, it's only $10." Any purchase, regardless of the...

Is Adam Dicker a criminal? You decide.

That's probably true. It turns out you can build websites a lot faster if you skip the building part of the process. :)

Yeah, I somehow keep forgetting that we need to elect Trump because he alone can protect us from… people just like Trump. Be patient with us if we don’t immediately appreciate the genius of your premise. And I promise you that after 8 years we're all quite clear that Trump's supporters are not...
