Solar is the future of the world. Equinox isn't just a term used in association with the sun .. but it also quite simply sounds really cool and makes a perfect brand for the niche!

Really nice call to action domain here for a media company in production. It's a fact that video sells more effectively than any other form of media .. which makes this domain name perfect!
GoldGanja // dot // com
Really nice canna-industry alliteration domain here! So good it's golden!
Grrrrrrr .. I had that one marked as a big buy .. but I was at work the moment it passed on auction. Unfortunately I have to hate you now! lol .. seriously though .. Very very nice domain! Congrats!
Ohasa[dot]com - I've been looking here and there for 5L pronounceables to add to my portfolio. I've been quite picky, but I really liked the sound of this one. Added bonus is that it is an acronym for some existing organizations, and also for Occupational Health and Safety Act (or Administration).
Always good to have multiple options on potential buyers. Another nice one. I like specific 5L's as well .. and I have a feeling more or less judged by similar "pronounceability" and phonetic standards. Almost impossible to explain to others what that actually means. But good, strong, clear, phonetically pleasing made up words that also pass the radio test .. many 5L appear like that .. but very few actually are.
A few closeout domains I've picked up during the last few weeks:
ProteinBusiness [dot] com
CigarMaking [dot] com
Philippines [dot] cc
Costumes [dot] cc
CarGames [dot] me
I had the 2 .cc's on my
daily lists of domains on auction to watch ... so obviously I didn't grab them .. I've had a couple of .cc .. just really tough actually finding buyers. I do like country .cc's though, you have to think it will interest someone eventually. I used to have a little over a dozen .. but I've let more than half drop and sold a few in portfolios. Kept a few though .. so I still have hope .. but only the strongest keywords .. I would consider a country name as a strong one.
Yes is almost too generic for a realty name .. lol .. but just "almost" .. as it's still good. I'm sure someone will find a clever acronym for Y.E.S. to go with .. one of those few names where the plurar actually would have been the better one. Definitely report back if you find a buyer .. and good luck with it!
Callisto / co
Many enduser possibilities, the problem is Godaddy and their stupid high .co renewal price ($35) - not to mention I had to pay 27% VAT.
I'd probably invest in a lot more .co names if not for this. They seem to be selling well, but that renewal price hurts a lot.
.co's are actually what got me to take the step from domain collector to actual beginner domainer in late 2016. I paid a bit too much for some as everyone does at least one stupid "plan" when they start .. lol. But I indeed did grab some great ones .. and I have since dropped the weaker ones. Many I bought as "hand drop catches" at $1.99 when they were released after their drop cycle. They then went up to $7.99 .. and now $11.99 .. so I've pretty much stopped unless they are fantastic domains. These day I renew about 5% of the ones I originally bought .. so I certainly do still believe in .co .. but my standards have changed pretty much directly in proportion to pricing and holding costs .. which actually is exactly what should be done now that I think about it! lol
Callisto is a good name .. on the fence for me ..
it was on my daily list as well ... it already had a bid, certainly not high enough to get into a bidding war over. I possibly could have grabbed it on the drop with a coupon though .. $35 + $12 + tax would have been a little too steep for me. But it is exactly the type of .co name that does have a good chance of end user sale. If you have a lot of .co names then definitely get the GD Domain Discount Club .. with a coupon it costs about $80/year I think .. and you'll save $10 per .co ($25/yr).
NET // ONICS // dot // com - I'm thinking about establishing this as a brand for my domain selling business instead of what I am currently preparing NameDawn -> namedawn.com if you wanna see the current logo
Thoughts?
From a branding perspective I like NameDawn infinitely more than net // onics .. by a very very large margin. To the point where I actually don't like one and truly REALLY like the other! I'm about to rebrand my marketplace (just keeping
Ategy as a master umbrella brand because I still love it as a short compact 5L derivative of Str
ategy). Still trying to figure out if I should go with a domain that includes "name(s)", Domain(s) or Brand(s) .. I actually have too many to choose from! so it's a tough choice!
