September 22, 2019 By John Colascione Leave a Comment

PALM BEACH, FL – Over the years, I’ve heard a lot of great domain stories that date back to when domain names were registered only through Network Solutions, and when domains, particularly .com domains, where a lot more expensive than they are today. What I have heard virtually no stories at all about, are those which date back to when domain names were completely free; yep, nothing, first come first serve, no fees. A bundle of interesting stories await domainers in this … [Read more...]

Near $200,000 Missing from “Ordinary” Domain Sales Market, So Far This Year

March 3, 2019 By John Colascione 4 Comments

NEW YORK – There is an old saying “Follow the Money”, popularized by the 1976 drama-documentary motion picture “All the President's Men” which was about the Watergate scandal (I’ve yet to see the movie, but plan to). However, in this case, I prefer not to follow the money, because it looks like it's disappearing into a region of space-time; one exhibiting strong gravitational effects that nothing - not even particles and electromagnetic radiation such as light can escape … [Read more...]

Domain Name Biz Uniregistry Scores on Domain Name “DomainNames.com”

February 13, 2019 By John Colascione 2 Comments

NEW YORK - A few weeks ago at NamesCon Global 2019 one of the industry’s best domain names, in my opinion, was acquired by Uniregistry, the brainchild of founder Frank Schilling, who operates the company from its Cayman Islands headquarters. As many in the domain industry were, Schilling was in attendance and won the highest bid on DomainNames.com for $370,000, one of the largest sales in the live auction.

June 16, 2018 By John Colascione 7 Comments

NEW YORK, NY - .CLUB Chief Marketing Officer Jeff Sass gave a keynote speech at NamesCon Europe 2018 and did what appeared to be a fantastic job of illustrating, through various different examples, just how bad it is when coming up with your own word (one which has no meaning) when choosing your domain name. Sass accomplished this by showing domain names made up of unknown words on screen and had attendees guess, by multiple choice, what they believed the businesses did that … [Read more...]

gTLD Madness: Five Years Later and Where Are We Now? T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Panel Debate

June 8, 2018 By John Colascione 4 Comments

NEW YORK - By the time I started visiting domain conferences in person, unfortunately, what I feel was the greatest domain conference of all time, Howard Neu and Rick Schwartz’s T.R.A.F.F.I.C., had seen its last days. I wish it weren’t so. I think the T.R.A.F.F.I.C. conferences were the best respected domain conferences in history; I can only wish that Howard and Rick, for whatever reason, will team up again and bring it back one day, because everything else, in my opinion, … [Read more...]
