With a name like Kim Dotcom, you’d think he’d be a .com only kind of guy. He does, ... read more ...

Interesting: Nokta Domains’ 18 leased domains from May - Nokta’s typical lease is about $100 a month.

Girl.me gets $30,000 bid during Sedo - An eye-popping price tag, but many .me domains have sold in this price range.

Besides, $30,000 for Girl.me isn’t an outlier. True, most ... read more ...
