The login button works for me but I didn't receive the SMS code that they require me to have on my account. That has gone down before though so hopefully it will be fine soon?

question .xyz worth? Any suggestions

That would be funny if it were true but that's not what happened. If you look back a couple of years before you joined Namepros, she was posting here when originally buying the names and people thought she was crazy for investing in .xyz. I think the real secret sauce is how these names end up...

question How to convince the business owner to buy an exact match domain, which I have

For a lot of shops like that, a facebook page and/or instagram page is going to be more valuable. I suppose you could register those and lock them down. But they could probably just do a variation like ScithesSalonNY or ScithesSalonNYC if ScithesSalon is already taken.

Escrow.com will soon become a payment option on Shopify!

$39/mo is steep especially since all of the bells and whistles of the webstore are a la cart. I think I was able to get 12 months @29 paying up front earlier last year. I don't know if that was to soften the blow of the price hike or if they will continue offering a yearly discount.

question Seeking Agressive Lawyer to take on "Big Dog" domain registrar for millions (individual) billions (class) in damages regarding portfolio valuations.

Oh I stumbled onto Dave I think for the first time when I went to laserdisc.com. I was bidding on it for some reason and he had outbid and won it. Now when I stumble onto one of his sites I feel like it's validation for my thought of "oh that would be a good name to grab. Let's see who owns...

domain Recht(.)me ，a Deutschland word ，Right or Law.

meinrecht is taken in 16 TLDs including the .com and .de. I think those were probably the money makers. or just recht/rechts which are also taken in a number of extensions. I am not sure if .me is used very often by German-speaking peoples.

debate Let's be real, most successful domainers are people who registered domains 15-30 years ago

Yep. Success takes luck. Luck happens when preparation meets opportunity.

alert I got scammed while helping

I am a little confused here. AbdulBasit posts to warn us of a scammer named Usman Jamal Then Saeid Nejati posts to warn us of another scammer named TonyDomainer also known as UnknownDomainer. Then UnknownDomainer shows up here to respond to Saeid but also mentions scamming Abdul. So does...

domains Rick Schwartz: 10 Commandments of Domain Investing.

How do you pump and dump a domain? Has anyone suggested another extension is actually better than .com? There's lots of profit to be made elsewhere but better? I'm surprised a guy who posts about making deals involving equity in ventures is against make offers versus strictly BIN pricing...

discuss Let @x be a cautionary tale

I feel like taking threads away from an apparel company was dumb. If anything they should have paid to boost it in Google and Bing search to force Zuck to bid more. Not to mention that Threads apparel company could be someone to litigate against Meta later on. Kicking them off the platform...

auctions GoDaddy Expired Auctions can be tricked

Last minute bidders and the popcorn timers are annoying (I've lost a few dozen domains to them) but those are working as GoDaddy intended. The fake bidders are not. $5/year is a good start but requiring photo IDs for all active accounts ought to solve the problem. I had to share mine with...

Best registrar to move 500 domains to?

I have most of my domains at Dynadot. They do seem to be the most stable. There are definitely some features I wish were different. For instance, it takes too many clicks to approve Sedo/Afternic. Other registrars allow me to accept Sedo or Afternic with a click through e-mail...but those...

advice Afternic negotiation, advice from experienced investors, please

What's your cost on the domain? You don't have to share here but ask yourself what you paid for the domain and how much labor did you put into the acquisition of the domain. If you got the name for $10 then $750 is a great flip though you'll also need to consider how many other names you are...

I agree the chances are rare for the average wantrapreneur but usually they show up anyway. I am surprised that a larger domainer hasn't started something yet. There are plenty of other marketplaces out there as already mentioned like Sav, Dynadot, Namecheap, Namesilo (theirs is broken for me...

analysis No XYZ... .COM is KING! Analyzed the URL patterns of over 2 million Crunchbase listed companies.

There are two ways .com would be toppled from its status. The first is if the management of .com was changed in a way where suddenly, registered .coms could be hit with outrageous renewal fees. The second being, if the technology we used to access domains changed in a way that users might not...
