news ICANN dishonesty documented and slammed in independent report

It's hard for me to hide my frustration, discontent and baffled amazement with ICANN and it's incredibly boundless greed and corruption. Note that they have no authority over Trademarks, but have set themselves up as a Trademark Clearinghouse. Yet, Trademarks were always designed to be...

Best Place To park?

Sedo is good for some things, they monetize domains with international traffic the best. They also do well with Poker Domains, and this can be real important if you have poker domains as there are few good places to park poker/gambling names. I really like GoldKey, but they suck at...

discuss Someone bought a domain from me and Disappeared

Of course not. I originaly bought and later renewed it because I originally had designs on it, but was too busy, and took an offer. I didn't have to renew it, but I still wanted to make something of it. Still, if I did, It could be ripped out from under me. So I didn't build it into...

Your Top Ten Domain Keywords

I've got MDPay and I can't get rid of it for what I think it's worth. But it is no brand. I like tech, hosting, design & studio because these are industries I am in. But, I think the best are financial/finance, law, accounting, vacation, care/healthcare, world/global/planet & tech. I just...

Beginners

Great answers, April & Mr. Hawkes! I am curious though, where do you look up what a number or consonant name means in Chinese? I've never made a big splash in domaining myself. I think I like to develop them more. But that means I have a huge number of websites and minisites. I use them to...

question Do any of you own your Surnames in any TLD?

You got me curious (again) so I checked things out. Since I have a common surname and a common given name, all the gTLDs for either are designated by ICANN or the registry itself as "Premium Domains", demanding a significant sum for registration AND renewals. I do have a hyphenated .com of my...

discuss Do you respond to all inbound inquiries?

I get so much spam from domainers it is ridiculous. Because I own xxxxxx.com do I want xyzxxxxxxx.com? Or they add a hyphen, or I own the .com and they have the misspelled .net. I have the .us and they add sk to the front as a .net? Who cares?!!! I get these all the time and they are coming...

domain gamerszone.com

Interesting name, especially for me. I have 'Video Gamer's Zone' (dot com). Actually, I have the non-plural Gamer version, as well. I always wanted to develop it. I would need to take a few more programming classes, but I have already signed-up for them and bought the books. If I could only...

discuss Someone bought a domain from me and Disappeared

I'm glad this worked out. I once sold a domain at afternic and never got any details from the buyer. I kept trying to find him/her, but couldn't. I only in the last year or two stopped renewing the name and let it expire, having paid at least 3 times in renewals what I had received from the...

registries Verisign to increase .com prices

This is just not good. Not good for Domainers, not good for business, not even good for hosting. Such an increase puts a high strain on small business, entrepreneurs, freelancers, designers and developers. Even if you only have one website, you are covering your ass by registering the main...

discuss Which extension if .com isn't available?

I think it has already ruined the whole nTLD concept. It could've worked if they stuck to the .com model, but the new gTLDs are actually deleting left and right because of ICANN's own corruption. Any ICANN Era gTLD that uses the premium markups model seems to be a complete and utter failure...

domain Which DN holds the most value?

NorthLoan.com is my pick. But, I am from the north country. Still, I think that having "loan" in a name is a little better than "cash". I think of the differences between them like the difference between a mortgage house and a business with a Yellow sign with red letters offering payday...

domain Crust.us - 1 Word .us

I would say it's worth 500 to 600 as a great investment for a bakery selling ready made pie crusts or pizza crusts (or both), but not a whole lot more as a guess (obviously it is worth more if you can get more). But I also expect that it will appreciate over time. In fact, I would bet on...

domain 1952.us / 1954.us / 1956.us - Highest Year.US Avail --- REP!

I was born in 1956. But, I have trouble seeing value, here. These would be a chore to develop, and without development... not a lot of worth. Sorry... Doug

domain HotelGuideUK.com (+rep)

I honestly think that this is a worthful name for development. I don't know how well it would do on PPC, but if it had a developed site that was unique, I think the name is strong and brandable. Certainly this can be a great name for attracting the attention of American Tourists (who are so...
