I don’t care for any of those.The closest to the desired feeling is NameSoldier but I would expect the com. I am sure it was hard because “name” names are mostly taken.Thats why I suggested DN. Surprised not to see any “domain”or “brand”words in this list.
The reason for not using "Brand" as that gets into Trademarks and other civil law risks that are hard to assess and mitigate. So, I chose to stick to the knitting of the more technical product, namely the domain and the risks of using it. We are not going to get into protecting social media handles or reputation repair from bad consumer reviews, etc, simply because it would be hard to underwrite and probably impossible to re-insure. Here were the main risks we had in mind:
Prior Fraudulent Conveyance
Domain Theft post purchase
Negative SEO
UDRP Complaint
Civil Trademark Claims
DDoS attack
Copyright / DMCA complaint
RBL/Spamhaus whitelisting
DNS Hijack protection
It just so happens that Epik does have a lot of the ingredients needed to measure or contact most of the associated risks, e.g.:
- Domain Registrar
- Domain MaxLock
- Domain name owner history data
- Anycast/DNSSEC
- DDoS Mitigation (Bitmitigate.com)
- Email hygiene tools
- Web crawlers
- Trademark data
In theory, a 1% per year insurance premium for the face-value of the insured asset would be a compelling value proposition to someone who does not like surprises. The point of entry product is not insurance, but rather a "CarFax" style risk assessment. This is what
@bhartzer brought me and what inspired the idea.
