discuss Defend HeidiPowell.com against a Bullying Celebrity Thief!
Hi domainers, Please take a moment to help defend domain owner rights. The grandmother who owns HeidiPowell.com needs our help. You don't need to spend a penny. Just stand up and say, "This is unacceptable." It will take public pressure outside NamePros. But there are a lot of us; so...- Points: 77

Bidding on your own names at NameJet...?
Garth made an interesting comment: "I think they need to drop third party listings. The brand is getting hammered by them."

Needing selective advice on Sedo broker dept.
The relevant people to talk to are domain owners who have listed domains with Sedo brokerage. Somebody who has sold $125k elsewhere has no experience to draw upon with Sedo. Dave Evanson is a capable broker and a nice guy. Probably their team will give your names a decent try. I can say that...- Points: 14

What's going on with Epik and Rob Monster?
The decision to permit Gab.com to be transferred to Epik was made while I was on vacation. So that's another case where I arrived at work to find a controversy in my lap. In that case, I'm in full agreement with Rob's decision to let the domain be transferred to Epik. Had no registrar...- Points: 12

What's going on with Epik and Rob Monster?
Guys, don't you think it's a bit gross for a registry to be cashing in on this massacre and the scandal? In particular, to use the surname of Epik's CEO in that way? Surely not a coincidence. Of course, you're donating the money. But it is nonetheless a marketing ploy to gain positive...- Points: 10

What's going on with Epik and Rob Monster?
@MS-Domains, Thank you for being willing to forgive a mistake. It wasn't my mistake, but I'm still going to apologize for it because I'm associated with it. And it pains me to see any discrimination – and above all violence – directed toward muslims, jews, or anybody else. Epik does have...- Points: 10

OK. I said that I would re-post my comments from Shane Cultra's blog. Some of what I say only makes sense given the context of other people's remarks there: https://dsad.com/domain-shanes-daily-list-of-domains-at-auction-for-monday-march-18th-2019 There are 2 comments.

registrars Which Registrar Is Most Secure?
Right here, you've got Rob Monster (Epik's CEO) and me (the Director of Operations) listening. Since this thread is about registrar security, let's brainstorm. What security features do you WISH a registrar would offer? I'm open to ideas. In fact, if we implement your suggestion, I will...- Points: 10

What's going on with Epik and Rob Monster?
@Dotword, A web host has a much more direct connection to content than a registrar does. After all, they store and disseminate the actual files of the website. Regulators and the general public often confuse registrars with hosts. You'd be surprised how often Epik or any other registrar is...- Points: 9

What's going on with Epik and Rob Monster?
Rob has been the owner and CEO of Epik for many years. Unlike other CEOs, Rob actively engages with individual customers, answering support tickets, bailing them out with domain-backed loans, even editing their DNS records over the phone. And he's a workaholic (I mean that in a good way) who...- Points: 9

What's going on with Epik and Rob Monster?
I'm Epik's Director of Operations. Prior to taking that position in April 2017, I worked for 6 years as a full time domain investor, wrote approximately 150 articles at DNW, and was one of the most active commentators on every other domain blog: Joseph Peterson, in case my "Slanted" username is...- Points: 9

registrars Which Registrar Is Most Secure?
Usually when you see a promo like $1.99 for 1st-year registrations of .TLD, this isn't a case of the registrar reducing prices on its own. No registrar wants to take a big loss on every domain. Instead, these promo prices are offered only after the registry offers a discount to the registrar...- Points: 9

discuss Defend HeidiPowell.com against a Bullying Celebrity Thief!
@DU, Although you repeat an allegation by the fitness instructor's attorneys that " 'the grandmother' asked for $50K", it's worth noting that Grandma Powell strenuously denies that: https://www.namepros.com/conversations/questions-being-asked.2717134/#message-3629757 Quote: "Her attorney has...- Points: 9

@Fancy.domains You raise good points. Freedom of speech is not absolute. Some limits are recognized in most places, though they vary: Libel and slander are illegal in most places. (In the UK, injunctions are more limiting that anything in the USA.) Terrorist cookbooks are, I presume...- Points: 8

What's going on with Epik and Rob Monster?
Let me make 1 more point. Rob's comment created a scandal for Epik. So I have asked him not to make any more public comments about that issue for awhile. That includes here in NamePros. I'm sure that Rob would rather engage with people and defend himself. That's his personality. Unlike...- Points: 8

Payoneer Escrow to shut down. What are the alternatives?
Epik is a good alternative to escrow agents in general: More secure, since we actually take possession of both funds and domain. Escrow agencies don't really know who owns a domain after GDPR. As a registrar, we do. Regulated by ICANN and TLD registries, unlike escrow agencies. Cheaper than...- Points: 8

registrars Which Registrar Is Most Secure?
That depends. If you're asking whether Emoji domains can be registered at Epik, then the answer is yes. Emoji domains are essentially a subset of IDNs. Not all TLDs have enabled emoji registrations, though I know .WS offers them. These can be registered at Epik. If you're asking about...- Points: 8
