NEW YORK, NY – If you have been waiting to get your hands on a new .inc domain name, you might as well just keep waiting; that is, until the price comes down somewhere between ‘reason-ability’ and ‘reality’. I’ve been interested in one of these domain names for quite some time now, however, checking the availability of a specific name, I’ve noticed that it will cost a whopping $3,500.00 to secure it during the early registration period. When the name becomes available for … [Read more...]
ICA Lays Ground for Compelling Argument Even the Most Bias of Opinion Cannot Deny
NEW YORK, NY – Two things happened on November 1, 2018, when the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) announced it would renew its Cooperative Agreement with Verisign while removing price caps on fees it charges registries: Verisign’s stock (VRSN) shot up $25 per share in a single day (then levelling off at still a healthy gain), Verisign came out blasting domain industry participants, calling them “Domain Scalpers” near suggesting that … [Read more...]

NEW YORK, NY - Last year about this time (June) I compared the highest valued .com sales of 2015 to 2016 which were publicly available at that time via NameBio.com (the list changed slightly today effectively creating a $2M difference and 30% decline rather than 35% indicated at that time[provided that 2015 remained unchanged]).

A Look at the Top 100 “.IO” Domain Names Sold in During Past 12 Months (2017-2018)
NEW YORK - Today I purchased two domain names in the '.io' extension - which continues to do well (and I only have a few; less than 10). I registered Heaters.io and Injured.io and I will see what happens with those. They seem like great domains and for Reg fee, there is little to loose. I'm not too sure why the IO tld has done so well recently (it's been around since 1997), but I don't fully understand cryptocurrency either, and that continues to dominate much of the … [Read more...]

Winners and Losers; A Look at 3 Letter (LLL) Domain Investments Over Last 10 Years
NEW YORK – Three letter .com domain names are pretty solid investments. They are often referred to as “liquid domains” – those which can be converted into cash quickly.

Although there are some losses on record here, the majority, 68% (194) of all 286 … [Read more...]
