WEST PALM BEACH, FL – The hyphenated domain name “TN-I.com” sold at $61,990 this past week according to the latest SEDO.com weekly domain sales report. The web address is currently parked. I've always avoided hyphenated domains unless the words being used are ordinarily hyphenated or it separates two extremely popular words mostly used together. There are some instances where this works well, but with TN-I, let's just say I'm not a fan of this one. Also … [Read more...]

Expired Auction for “AllStar.com” Cancelled; Bidding Moved Quickly Before Renewed
PALM BEACH, FL – The premium sports domain name “AllStar.com”, originally registered in 1994, recently expired and was automatically sent to GoDaddy’s auction platform where bidding reached $40,000 within two days. The auction was apparently cancelled on October 14, 2019 when its owner re-registered the name within the time period aloud by Enom.com, the registry where the name is held. Such a name would certainly have been a big score for one of the many bidders if … [Read more...]

PALM BEACH, FL –An interesting opportunity has arisen from new domain name registry company Donuts Inc., which operates roughly 240 new generic top-level domains (gTLDs).

Savvy Business Owners Know That Great Domain Names Can Grow Your Business
PALM BEACH, FL – I enjoy seeing great use-cases for domain name acquisitions where an end user recognizes the power of a great domain name and how they can help you grow your business. There has never been as much noise and competition to break-through on the Internet than there is right now, and a great domain name can be the ‘differentiator’ in how you stand out in a sea of consumer choice. For example, in reviewing the DNJournal.com year-to-date sales list, you’ll find … [Read more...]

Why I Shipped a Car with “Ship.Cars”
PALM BEACH – My son’s car arrived this morning and delivery has been confirmed via email. We had an agreement that I was sending the car as a gift from South Florida to Georgia, but mom was taking care of the transport fee and choosing the shipper and scheduling it; she chose Ship.Cars, a vehicle transport “marketplace” which is using a new and different domain name ending, likely to improve the chances of being found online. Ship.Cars is what would be considered a … [Read more...]

Single Word nGTLD Domain Names That Have Expired Within Last 24 Hours
NEW YORK, NY - Here is a list of single word English dictionary nGTLD domain names that have dropped (expired) within the last 24 hours (according to ExpiredDomains.net). One thing I do not understand is why a new domain registry would charge premium fees on domains that someone has already decided to let expire. For instance, love.xyz is $1,299.00 at Godaddy. If registries want to off-set their registry losses as much as possible, they would allow buyers to register these … [Read more...]
