    Do you read ccTLD rules before buying?

    Recent discussion around .IN reminded me that ccTLDs are not always as straightforward as .com. Some country-code extensions have their own expectations around local use, large portfolios, or resale activity. For those who invest in ccTLDs, do you read registry policies before buying, or only...

    The current batch of gTLD's is overwhelming in breadth and scope. The pricing structure for some of the current gTLD's is blatant price gouging. Are the new 2026 gTLD's for end user buyers or domain investors? If the general consensus is .COM is king and .AI is legitimate what would drive an...

    Father's Day thought: would you pass your best domain to your kids?

    Father's Day is coming up, and I had a domain-related thought. A lot of domain investors treat good domains as long-term assets. But I wonder how many people would actually pass their best names to their kids or family one day. The value is one part. The harder part is whether the next person...

    Maybe this topic is a little late, but I still wanted to open a separate thread and see what others think. .si is getting attention, but I do not think sales alone tell the full story yet. For me, the more interesting part would be seeing more real websites using .si as the main domain. I...

    After ICANN86, is price still the main factor when choosing a domain registrar?

    After following ICANN86 in Seville, I have been thinking about how much the role of a domain registrar has changed. For many years, a lot of people chose a registrar mainly by price, especially the first-year registration price. Price still matters, of course. For domain investors, agencies...

    Do Premium Domain Auctions Measure Demand or Liquidity?

    I'm not always sure premium domain auction prices are a clean signal of end-user demand. Sometimes a high price means real buyer demand. Sometimes it is just two bidders chasing the same name.

    Do You Clear Old DNS Records When Buying a Used Domain?

    For Resellers Managing Many Client Domains, Is "Client Owns Everything" Always Practical?

    This looks simple on paper, but in real client projects it often gets more complicated. If every client keeps the domain in their own registrar account, ownership is clean, but DNS changes, renewals, email records, and urgent fixes can become slower. If the reseller keeps all client domains in...

    Does the Domain Control Panel Matter More Than the Search Box?

    Many people compare registrars by price, domain search, and checkout. That is important, but I think the control panel matters more after the domain is actually in use. Once a website goes live, customers need to renew domains, update nameservers, manage DNS records, change contact details, set...

    Has WHOIS Privacy Quietly Reduced More Buyer Discovery Than Domainers Expected?

    It seems odd to me that these big registers just say it renews at the normal rate after a year.

    I'm curious how much the buying process affects end-user domain sales. A domain investor may see the deal as simple: agree on price, pay, transfer the name. But many end users do not fully understand the steps. They may worry about escrow, EPP codes, transfer locks, registrar accounts, DNS...
