My Opinion: Donuts Is Not Helping Itself By Attacking .Com - Raymond Hackney just published a story on the Thedomains.com based on a blog post published on Donuts.co corporate site, which you can read here. I have written about Donuts attacking .Com to sell their own new gTLD’s before and even discussed it in our 2014 year recap. I think its a bad move. First of all its false. In 2014 .Com grew by some 3.3 million domains  which is slightly less than the total number of new gTLD registration but is more than the number of paid third party new gTLD registrations. .Com ... read more ...

Why .com had a good entertain (and .net didn’t ) - Thank the Chinese and discount pricing for continued demand for .com domain names.
