October 27, 2019 By John Colascione 6 Comments

PALM BEACH, FL – “.NYC”, it’s called “The Official Web Address for New Yorkers”, and a top level domain name which is restricted to being registered only by “lawful” residents and/or businesses within the New York City area (the five boroughs). The slogan of being the “Official” web address of the City its named after isn’t just fluff marketing material either; it actually is, The Official URL, according to NYC.gov.

CVS Pharmacy Files WIPO Against “CVS.inc” Domain; Reg Fees Headed Towards Earth

October 26, 2019 By John Colascione 1 Comment

PALM BEACH, FL – It looks like CVS Pharmacy, Inc. isn’t too thrilled with the recent registration of the nGTLD domain name “CVS.inc” which looks to have been registered in May, 2019. The pharmacy company has filed a WIPO dispute (WIPO D2019-2615) which will likely result in a TRANSFER as the majority of their complaints follow that trend. The “CVS.inc” domain name is listed on the get.inc website under “Who's Buying” in the ”recent registrations section” for companies … [Read more...]

If Google Removes URLs From Search Results, Who Exactly Stands to Benefit?

October 22, 2019 By John Colascione 4 Comments

PALM BEACH, FL – Last week I ran a story about Google’s obvious intent to remove URL’s from search. The story was titled “Google Determined to Remove URLs from Search Results; Replace with Breadcrumbs” and published on October 18, 2019. It was a follow up to “EVIL: Will Google Do Away with Domain Name and Extension Entirely Anyway?” There has been wide reaction from both the SEO and Domain community on the coming change and it warrants added thought and hopefully, added … [Read more...]

Google Determined to Remove URLs from Search Results; Replace with Breadcrumbs

October 18, 2019 By John Colascione 9 Comments

PALM BEACH, FL – It seems that Google, the world’s most popular search engine, is determined to do away entirely with URLs in its search engine, no doubt further increasing its position in, and not to mention, the value itself of “alternative URLs” by completely removing a person’s ability to subconsciously decide whether a site is trustworthy based on the URL itself. I touched on this topic back in September 2018 when I wrote “EVIL: Will Google Do Away with Domain Name … [Read more...]

Investor Land Grab Opportunity Arises from Donuts Registry with Reduced Price gTLDs

October 8, 2019 By John Colascione 1 Comment

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). Although I am less than a huge fan of new gTLDs, there are industry veterans who do in fact use them in certain scenarios of ‘super premiums’, and you’ll have an opportunity to filter through a list of over 1.1 million names (previously on hold) now being released in a price-drop by the … [Read more...]

The Birth of ICANN: “The Green Paper”

April 12, 2018 By John Colascione 1 Comment

This resulted in a document which has become known as "The Green Paper" originally named "A Proposal to Improve the Technical Management of Internet Names and … [Read more...]

February 18, 2018 By John Colascione 2 Comments

NEW YORK, NY - This morning I wanted to look at the live auction results for NamesCon over the last three years, what's on record at NameBio, which is here.

It also showed that the percentage of transactions for .com domains grew over the period with 56% being .com in 2016, 63% in 2017, … [Read more...]
