Another reason you need to pay attention to the new top level domain process at ICANN. I think it’s time to start a “Threatdown” for domain owners, a la Stephen Colbert. The threats to domain name owners in the new top level domain process at ICANN are far scarier than ColbertR...

I saw a nice domain name up for auction at Snapnames today: FBS.com. At the moment, there are 5 hours remaining to bid. I can’t really suggest a use for the name, which is why I am not bidding, but there’s something about the name I like. Related posts:Perfect Domain Auction Email Mark...

I just created a new page on my blog called “Name Deals.” All names listed on that page are priced at under $50, and the list will be rotated and changed daily. I love researching and buying domain names, but I don’t have the time to develop everything I buy. As with all of my doma...

Following up my first “Domainer Essentials” post on Registrant Alert by DomainTools, I thought I would continue to share another simple application that I keep handy in my domainer toolbox. Here it is… DNCleaner.com, a free web based application by SecondVersion that allows you to ...

A new forum for both .tel haters & followers has been launched. TelSucks.com is open for discussions on the new .tel TLD, which is rather controversial in its function and usability. There are areas for discussion and for sales listings, link exchange etc. From a domainer’s standpoint, .te...

I’ll begin this post by saying that I’m not yet convinced that .tel is the wave of the future. That being said, I have bought *some* .tel domains but these still represent less than 1% of my portfolio. There has been a lot of buzz about .tel and plenty of articles written both in the Dom...
