Hey All,
Just wanted to share something interesting I've noticed this last week while out on the hunt. It seems that Donuts has decided to try their hand at some old fashioned domaining.
I've found several donuts domains that were previously reserved or set at platinum status (you need to contact donuts to negotiate a premium price) that suddenly show as registered via name.com with owner org listed as Donuts. Each of these domains now points to an undeveloped.com splash page offering it for sale.
Not really a big deal to me since the names were way out of my reach anyway. Just seems to be an interesting tactic being tried out by Donuts, going the domainer route to try and sell some names. I've noticed that many similar names are still reserved or set at platinum status, so it seems to be a light dabble so far.
I remember Uniregistry tried this awhile back with some of their extensions. I'm not sure how it went for them as I have boycotted all of their extensions and pay no attention to them. I will be paying close attention to this new Donuts tactic though, as I love me some Donuts.
A couple examples:
Spin.Studio
Data.Center
