Image
  .WTF had a stro ng month!   Identity Digital (formerly Donuts) released its monthly Domain Trends Report, and something will make you say WTF?   The .wtf top level domain made it into the company ' s top 10 list in June, shooting up to #7. nTLDStats shows there are now over 30,000 .wtf names registered, adding a few thousand during the past month.   I don ' t think I ' ve come across a .wtf domain IRL.   The top 10 domains for the month were:   .info .live .life .world .digital .ltd .wtf .agency .email .studio   Five of Identity Digital ' s top 20 premium domain sales were for .global domains, but these names have a high/low model that skews the results. The top sales were:   afs.global gbs.global ce.group jackpot.bet spokane.dentist   I believe the wholesale premiums on these dom...

What are fair commissions for domain transactions? - NiceNIC.NET

Image
  What are fair commissions for domain transactions?   I think it ' s 10%-20% depending on the type of domain sale .   You ' re excited to get an email saying you sold a domain. Then your next thought is about how you ' ll only get 80% of the selling price.  With this in mind, here ' s my take on commissions.  Landing page sales   Domainers think the value-add of sales platforms is minimal when a sale takes place on a landing page. The domainer effectively brought the buyer. With a buy now transaction, all the aftermarket has to do is process a payment.   But there ' s more to it than this. I ' ll give two recent Dan.com transactions as examples.   One was a $1,000 .gg sale. The customer paid immediately but took over a month to transfer the domain , requiring Dan.com to make repeated reminders. The other is one for just $1,500, in which the buyer isn ' t paying. Da...

One of my .xyz domains was suspended. Here's how I fixed it - NiceNIC.NET

Image
  A .XYZ domain name that I bought 6 months ago ended up on a blocklist.   The .xyz registry got a bad rap early on for its domains being used for spam and other malfeasance. It was a by-product of its pricing model: scammers churn through a lot of domains, so they flock to the cheapest options out there.   Since then, the registry has done a lot to weed out bad actors. It has a robust system for automatically suspending domains that land on blocklists.   But … this can have ramifications for legitimate domain owners.   The message states, “ Suspended by the Registry, please contact (XYZ support URL). ”   I acquired this domain at the end of last year and pointed it to a for sale lander.   I had no idea my domain was suspended and wasn ' t resolving. The registry can ' t contact registrants directly, and Namecheap didn ' t contact me to let me know my domain was sus...
