    question Are compatibility issues still holding back new gTLDs in 2026?

    ICANN published new Universal Acceptance guidelines this week, which brought back an old new-gTLD issue. When longer extensions first launched, valid names using TLDs like .photography or .technology were sometimes rejected by websites that only expected short endings such as .com or .org. For...

    discuss Trade.io sold for $88K in 2021 and $75K in 2026. What changed?

    Trade.io sold for $75,000 recently. The interesting part is that the same domain sold for $88,000 back in 2021. That's $13K less five years later. Different .io market today, or just two very different sales? What do you think?

    One Domain Is Confirmed Phishing. Should the Other 299 Be Checked?

    ICANN is currently seeking comment on “Associated Domain Checks”: when a registrar has actionable evidence of DNS abuse on one domain, it may have to investigate related domains. Say a portfolio account has 300 domains and one is confirmed as part of a phishing campaign. Checking the other 299...

    discuss Not in love with any parking service - anyone building their own system?

    Exactly what the title says. I'd like to know who has built their own and if they in the end regret it or are happier. With the advancement in agentic coding, inventory / landers dashboards is something that can be robust yet up quickly and reduce brokerage spending.

    Would weak renewals make you avoid a hot TLD?

    Global domain registrations reached 401.6 million in Q2 2026, according to Verisign. Fast growth can look impressive, but low first-year prices may hide weak long-term demand. For investors, has weak renewal performance ever stopped you from buying into a growing extension?
