How important is a domain name?
The original question conflates domain names and their relevance in search results as a metric of their importance. TL;DR : Google serves relevant information and knowledge sources, regardless of name. Domain names on the other hand, identify resources by mapping host names to numerical IP...- Points: 4

discuss A worldwide shift away from .com
There's one word to explain most if not all of this for .com: Saturation. In my humble, naive point of view, there are only two reasons why it feels like a "shift" is occurring: 1) The .com is taken 2) For large companies with ccTLD footprints in different countries, it is for common sense...- Points: 3

trademark Ethereum trademark leads to cryptocurrency domain loss via UDRP
At this point, it remains to be seen what Stiftung intends for the future, because although this case is a UDRP, it also appears that the motivation behind it is to take out a bad actor that was operating a pyramid scheme, taking advantage of Ethereum's name, popularity and fame to defraud...- Points: 3

question What's the benefit of paying in Bitcoin?
On top of the above benefits, there is also the added advantage of buying with the Bitcoin he already has in the full amount converted from the cost of your domain, without the additional costs of conversion to regular (fiat) currency and other fees associated, such as conversion fees...- Points: 2

discuss Showcase your best email address!
My current personal one is [surname]@gmail.com -- which I lucked into when GMail started with those free emails many eons ago. Thankfully, GMail's spam filters do a good job with the torrent of spam it gets. But one I remember fondly (friends loved it) is: [email protected] This was what I used...- Points: 2

advice How can I conduct racistsociety.com?
You seem to be having fun with it, and for all the perverse ways it's funny, the slogan on the site nails it. To any decent person, it's offensive, and nevermind the sponsors but most people would just have an emotional and mental block towards it, so there goes the broad appeal, down the...- Points: 2

discuss Negotiations via Email vs Phone for Inbound Queries
The key here is to forget what you want and do whatever it takes to make the sale, or help the sale along. This includes (but not limited to) whatever is the preference of the client. Not yours. I've made good work both ways, and noticed that while everyone finds the more impersonal nature of...- Points: 2

discuss VR + AI = ?
Forget VR/AR/MR/3DPrinting/nanomachines/life-extension/everything in this scenario.

domain Zup.io) Thoughts?
It's 3 characters. Even if not a dot-com, as a dot-io, has good potential for startup space (as most .io's tend to be). Normally the 'z' may bring it down, but as it is, it's pronounceable and brandable so there's potential.- Points: 2

GoDaddy Coupon Code Error
Thanks, ulterios. It is indeed too bad that GD chooses to go this route, with all the discounts on new registrations but apparently almost stiffing existing customers (I've been with them for more than a decade and a half) with almost ~$15 renewals.

Pray & Watch Fahrenheit.
Michael Moore exploits the medium and visual influence of video footage to distort facts and make them more compelling by putting things out of context. Then again in all fairness, that's what the Dems are accusing the Republicans of doing all along as well.- Points: 2

Pure PHP or Framework ?
IMHO, this feels like the wrong question because there's a time and place for either one. Pure PHP would be good for specific use cases like for smaller projects or the kind with a very specific feature set, or if you have a project and have yet to familiarize yourself with a framework...- Points: 1
