.Buzz discovers that a registrants suffer a high life - New TLD .Buzz found a customer base it wasn’t targeting. When Bill Doshier decided to apply for the .buzz top level domain name, he had a vision for how it would be used: entertainment, social media, fashion…you get the idea. Once the domain name went live, he noticed an entirely different customer segment registering domain names. “Early on after our April launch, I noticed some cannabis-themed domain registrations coming out of Colorado, specifically Boulder,” ... read more ...

Igloo acquires Aftermarket.com - Domain broker acquires domain name marketplace. Igloo, a fast growing domain name broker, has acquired domain name marketplace Aftermarket.com from Thought Convergence. The move makes sense for Igloo. While its focus in the past has been on larger, high touch transactions, it is now handling the sale of the old DomainSponsor portfolio that was acquired by Rook Media earlier this year. Aftermarket.com will give it a good platform to sell these domain names (and others). “With ... read more ...

New TLDs find their religion: .Church wins a day - .Church was the top TLD launch yesterday. Going into yesterday, I bet that .guide would be Donuts’ top domain name launch of the week. It’s a fairly generic domain that works with a number of second level domains, similar to .tips (which now has 30,000 registrations). I should have known that word travels fast in the religious community. .Church was the top domain yesterday, gaining 3,409 registrations in the zone file to end with 4,044. .Guide wasn’t too far ... read more ...

How New gTLDs Fare in Search Marketing [Research] - We’re all used to generic top-level domains (gTLD) like .com, .org and .net, but did you know new gTLDs are hitting the market and ICANN states that “over 1,300 new names or ‘strings’ could become available in the next few years”? How this new wave of gTLDs will affect click-through rate and domain trust is anyone’s guess, but the folks at online marketing agency Globe Runner wanted to figure out if the new gTLDs fare better or worse than -- or the same as -- .coms. The agency explored ... read more ...

The gTLD Message is Getting Out - When I was a junior in college, I had a marketing internship at a local business. Had I not decided to attend graduate school right away, I would have considered working for this company because I enjoyed working there, and I got along well with the CEO. Since my internship days 10+ years ago, I have stayed in touch with the CEO, and we exchange emails a couple of times per year give or take. I’ve given him some advice about domain names, and I guided him through the domain name acquisition ... read more ...

.London, Has More Reserved Domains Than Registrations & You Won’t Believe What’s on The List - .London which launched last week has just over 39,00 domain name registration in the zone file as of today, which many regard to be less than impressive. The population of London’s metropolitan area is the largest in the EU with a total of 13,614,409. So out of over 13 Million residents not counting all the businesses and organization in the area, 39,o00 registrations isn’t that terrific in my opinion. Minds + Machines is operating the registry with active cooperation from the city. We got a ... read more ...

Should this UDRP complainant have cold the case? - The response made it clear it would not win its case. The group that owns the the French wine estate Chateau Ausone filed a UDRP against the owner of Ausone.com. On the face of it, I can understand why they filed the complaint. At the time they filed, visitors to Ausone.com saw a parked page that included links to wine. If they looked at the whois for Ausone.com, it didn’t indicate any connection to an “Ausone” brand”, other than the registrant being located ... read more ...

Hey domain registrars, get your sh*t together! - Pre-ordering new TLDs is (still) a complete mess. This morning I tried to give my money to a handful of domain name registrars. I tried really hard. Some of them refused to take it unless I jumped through a bunch of hoops. Mind-numbing, hair-pulling hoops. Someone pass the Propecia, because I’m going to need some to replace all the hair I just pulled out. The simple exercise I was trying to complete: pre-registering .website domain names. Let me tell you, it’s ... read more ...
