information Epik and your plan

How many names I have at Epik is 'my business'. :xf.cool: My plan for now and the future? Simple, carry on as before, I shall keep those domains at Epik and will continue to register domains at Epik if it makes financial sense to do so. I have an inbuilt resistance to being threatened or...

domain Well a few months ago I didn't think I would post this as a thread!

For the few people on here that know me this might come as a bit of a shock. As I am sitting here my belly hurts like hell, I guess that nothing else can be expected from stage 4 cancer. This thread though is about a podcast I have done with the gracious help of Helmuts who runs hostmaria.com...

Are dashed domains undervalued by domainers?

In my 10+ years of domaining I have often been mystified by the 'perceived wisdoms' within the domaining community, some had partial truths behind them whilst others obviously were almost totally without foundation and relied solely on repeating it often enough (usually by one or more of the big...

An Epik Statement on Racism and Injustice

Do we in the democracies not elect those who make our laws? Do we not elect replacements for those we think have not done a good job making our laws? Do those elected not have a chance, and indeed often do, change laws? Do we not have a system where laws either existing or proposed are openly...

We are the idiots ...

That's right 'we are the idiots'. Why is it that the vast majority of us do not develop our domains into websites. - Is it cost? - Is it time? - Is it lack of knowledge on the domain subject? - Is it not knowing where to start building a website? - Or is it because of laziness and...

question I joined this forum 12 years ago but I wasn't ready to invest then. I'm ready now!!

If you have no experience at all in developing a domain into a website I would suggest the following steps: Register a throw away domain name in as cheap a suffix as you can find (you will need this to use as your website - it really doesn't matter what the domain is, it is simply one you can...

opinion What Does The Domain World Need? (That we don't have now)

Personally I think the one aspect we need is something we as domainers cannot directly achieve by ourselves - getting advertising and marketing firms to actually look at domains as part of the cornerstone of the campaigns for their clients. Now if we could get those advertising and marketing...

alert Epik Had A Major Breach

Calm down everybody. At the moment we have some idiot/s posting that they have hacked Epik - but absolutely no proof of such. It might well be that an attempt was made and might well be an ongoing attempt (happens all the time in the world we live in). However, has anyone actually seen ANY...

information Brent Oxley Loses Access to Create.com, Plus Millions of Dollars Worth of His Domains

At this point in time and having read the sparse replies actually made by GoDaddy (none of which seemed to actually either deal with the rational of why Create.com was locked or implied GoDaddy's willingness to expedite and achieve the domain being unlocked) I find that I now have absolutely no...

Matias from England

Hi Matias, Welcome to Namepros from another Brit. :xf.smile: I didn't expect to say this - but they are not bad domain names at all, and especially for a 'newbie'. (y) I see you list some of the areas that domaining encounters, glad to see you included 'psychology' and 'linguistics', two...

opinion I have a domain name making 2 dollars daily

@liftkid - Firstly congratulations. You have what every domainer hopes of doing, getting a domain with real traffic that converts. Secondly, if the previous owner was a business then see if they are still in business, it might be that they lost the domain because someone who was supposed to...

showcase Your Purchase or Snap of the Day (No Handregs)

Yesterday I managed to win in auction here on NP the domain: Txxt.net (Yes, that is a double 'x' with no 'e' in the domain.) It is definitely a niche domain, but the domain appealed to me because it actually reads as 'text' (try pronouncing it - the only way to do so is as 'text') and the...

Mistakes you made as a newbie

Yes, there should always be room for movement. BUT...... ….. When a potential buyer asks the price and you give it you should never move if the potential buyer has not given a counter offer number. To move your price by just one penny or one cent without a counter offer having been made is...

What is an "Average" domainer?

I guess the 'average domainer' consists of mainly those who come into domaining and last about 2 - 3 years as owners of domains. In the first year they have entered domaining and registered a wide variety of domains 'because' they seemed to make sense at the time. In the second year the first...

discuss Most important quality that differentiate successful domainers among other common domainers?

Something not on the list is: 'Ability to walk away' By this I mean all good domainers know when to stop investing money, time, effort, etc. into an attempted purchase, an attempted sale, or indeed a potential development with a third party. When it is obvious that things will not work out a...

Ethics of staying quiet when newbies reg rubbish?

"Ethics of staying quiet when newbies reg rubbish?" The title of this thread assumes many things, firstly of course is that everyone understands and agrees the definition of the word 'ethics'. The term 'ethics' is usually described and defined as involving some form of 'morality', and that...
