How Am I Supposed to Find A Good Domain Name When They Are Already All Gone?

April 8, 2020 By John Colascione 1 Comment

PALM BEACH, FL – Finding a good, short, “.com” domain name nowadays is much harder than it was in the past, but it certainly isn’t impossible. What you don’t want to do, is listen to bad advice from someone who tells you to go ahead and register an alternative, such as “.net”, “.biz”, or “.info”. Whatever you do, don’t make that mistake, because you will very likely regret it at some point in the future. Unless your business is an ‘organization” you could get a “.org” … [Read more...]

“Cold Email,” Sold “Democracy.com” To Billionaire Owner of Mavericks, Mark Cuban

November 25, 2019 By John Colascione 3 Comments

PALM BEACH, FL – Not that the name needed it, but when an auction for a web address is featured in the New York Times, you can rest assured that it is a pretty desirable name. That’s what happened last month when “Democracy.com” went up for sale in a “sealed auction” where none of the bidders would see the dollar amount of other participating bidders. The auction was originally to close on Oct. 25, 2019 but was then extended to November 7, 2019 based on what was said to … [Read more...]

Just Some Fake Bids; Nothing to See Here; Move Along Now, Please Disperse…

October 27, 2019 By John Colascione Leave a Comment

PALM BEACH, FL – This is a pretty interesting story all though it has come and gone just like yesterday’s old news – no one cares, no one is all that surprised, figuring it was non-sense to begin with, next story please. I suggest domain market participants not let it be forgotten and swept under the rug so soon, because it isn't at all good for the domain name industry as a whole - and clearly more should be done about it. Platforms that are used for … [Read more...]

Another Cool $25 Million Bet on New gTLDs; The Next Best Thing Since Sliced Bread

May 7, 2017 By John Colascione 6 Comments

LONG ISLAND, NY – Another cool $25 mil was spent on the next best thing to a .com, a dot Art domain. Now that’s a lot of Fishnagles if you ask me. Is it going to pay-off dividends? We'll all have to wait and see; but if you asked Mr Ulvi Kasimov who won the bid to operate the .art domain, I’d bet he would tell you it’s going be worth every single cent. And you want to know something? I think this guy might actually be right on this one. Editors note: A comment below disputes … [Read more...]

Sometimes You Just Cannot Have the .com Name That You Want; Now Move On

February 1, 2017 By John Colascione 6 Comments

It’s aggravating to find frivolous lawsuits such as one I will talk about today where someone fighting for a domain just doesn’t get it. The single thing that takes a negative situation like this and shows some positive light is when you find that there are good - no great people such as David E. Weslow (handling the case pro-bono) and organizations like the Internet Commerce Association (how I found out about this) which help tilt the scale in the other direction. Situations … [Read more...]

Just Another ‘Go-Nowhere’ Transaction at GoDaddy’s Aftermarket for Domains; WTF?

January 8, 2017 By John Colascione 15 Comments

NEW YORK, NY - Let me begin by saying I am a big fan of GoDaddy.com and have been doing business with them since I began working on the Internet. I’m also a Wild West Domains reseller and believe it or not, I may not have even found this fantastic industry if it were not for Godaddy’s “Website Tonight” product which is now called “Website Builder” as it resulted in me building my very first website.  In my opinion, GoDaddy.com is one of the best registrars for domains and I … [Read more...]
