A lack of creativity in domain name creation?

One does not simply trademark descriptive 'keyword' domains. Trademarks cannot be descriptive. But trademarks are important in corporate warfare. Creates a defensible moat. So you look for catchy, short, trademark-able names. Maybe, made-up. Maybe, portmanteau. Maybe single letters! Short...

advice Keeping a Physical Registry Notebook

Handwritten is cool though. Imagine in 100 years how rare an antique handwritten registry will be. Your great grandchildren could sell it on ebay. Or put it in a museum.

question Is post drop premium reclassification technically forbidden?

Ryan, your whole post was so cogently written I haven't been this impressed since "Suits" came up with the girlfriend's name, Sheila Sazs.

question Is post drop premium reclassification technically forbidden?

What happens if a domain under a lease to own contract is reassessed as a premium domain during the term of the contract? Can that happen? Who is left holding the bag? The company managing the contract i.e. Godaddy? The domain owner? I never see this addressed by Godaddy or Atom or any...

Afternic - Official Thread

I read this thread with great interest. One thing is glaringly clear. GoDaddy has a huge conflict of interest when selling aftermarket domains via Afternic. Their incentive to improve services is nil. Close to nil. Their incentive to keep you unbalanced and out of whack is pretty high...

Thanks. I'm learning. Was one of those names that stuck in my mind from a week prior. If I can remember it that means somebody else might too? Is that a thing?

Domain reclassified as premium. I need advice.

Get ready guys. I see the future of domains as a slow squeeze from the guys at the front (registries and registrars) who have figured out ways to keep more of the value inherent in keywords. Examples are premium tiers and longtail pricing models such as the one used for .art developed by Paul...

poll Best Pricing Strategy

Wait a minute. This means there is no impact for pricing a name valued under 2K anything between $1.99 and $1999? Did I read that right? Meaning I could price all my crap domains at $1999 and the STR would remain the same as if I had priced them at 19.99? How can this be true? Why would...
