That’s the case with a new service mark application from NameMedia, the company behind BuyDomains and Afternic. Last week the company filed for “List Once. Sell Everywhere.” After seeing the trademark yet before seeing who filed it I thought “I bet this is NameMedia.” ... read more ...

The Truth About NameMedia, Afternic, and BuyDomains - Here’s why NameMedia sells more of its own domains than clients’ domains. Every once in a while I feel like going on a rant. So here goes.

It also allows other domain owners (i.e., you) to sell domains via its AfternicDLS system, which then syndicates through its ... read more ...
