R.I.P. DNForum, 2001-2016 - DNForum has been offline for a week. I’m calling it: DNForum is dead. What was once the industry’s go-to place to discuss domain names has been down for a week.

DNForum used to be the place people went to get deals done, and there was ... read more ...

Adam Dicker’s video blog is value checking out - A great resource for new and old domainers alike. I’m not a big fan of video, especially when the message can be conveyed in writing. It’s why I always read the transcripts at DomainSherpa instead of watching the videos. It’s a lot faster. That said, I think Adam Dicker’s new video blog is worth checking out. Dicker has a long history in the domain industry. He’s best known as the owner of DNForum. But he also worked at iREIT and Go Daddy. Each video covers ... read more ...

The thread started out benign and was simply about the number of .us domain names going through auction at GoDaddy’s TDNAM and the high prices they ... read more ...

You’d think they are happy that the Canadian Dollar, also known as the loonie, has met parity with the U.S. dollar. But that may not be the case. Consider that they generate revenue mostly in depreciated U.S. dollars but have ... read more ...
