A major domain name acquisition took place in recent weeks, and that was Sobeys' acquisition of the Voila.com domain name. Sobeys, a large Canadian food retailer, recently announced plans for a food delivery network called Voila, which would be launching in Toronto in 2020. Upon launching the venture, Sobeys used the Voila.ca domain name but opted to upgrade to Voila.com.
According to DomainIQ's WHOIS history, Sobeys acquired the domain name from Orange S.A, formerly known as France Telecom. With Orange posting revenue of €41.381 billion in 2018, the acquisition may not have been cheap!

Should I Add Installments to Generate More Sales?
Domain leasing and payment plans are becoming commonplace in the domain aftermarket. Platforms such as Epik and DAN allow investors to add payment plans to listed domains, but do these options generate more sales?
The logic is sound. If a potential buyer can't afford your asking price upfront, then spacing payments over a longer period of time could be a way to produce sales that may not have been possible otherwise. Should payment plans be commonplace?

My First Month in Domaining
After one month of being a domain name investor, it’s brave to air your successes and failings publicly, but that’s exactly what this domainer has done.
The successes include selling seven domains, including flipping a couple of four-letter names. The failures, as detailed by the investor, include registering some “embarrassing” names during their first week. As usual, the community has given advice and constructive criticism for the domainer.

Let the Political Games Begin!
This week, the United States Democratic Party held some live TV debates starring their presidential candidates. During the debate, Joe Biden urged viewers to “go to Joe30330”, a gaffe that prompted the registration of Joe30330.com, which reportedly quickly received over 80,000 hits. The domain currently redirects to a parody website.
The report of this domain’s activity, as well as a Trump related domain registration are described in this discussion. It shows that domain names are a vital part of a political campaign, and not controlling the right domains can be costly.
