Image by vaXzine via Flickr Sedo, which is one of the most popular domain markets, is running a number of “premium” domain auctions in the coming weeks. Some of the domains that are scheduled to come under the hammer include america.com, import.com and cognac.com.

The domain pizza.com went under the hammer on Sedo for US$2.6 million. According to various reports in the media, the domain’s owner originally registered the domain back in 1994 and has been holding onto it for the last 14 years. Not a bad investment! Full story here
Eurid and the failure to promote dotEU
In some ways the failure of .eu to capture hearts and minds makes me sad. I’m European. I’d like to think that a European namespace could be a success, but that seems to be a misplaced desire. As I mentioned some time ago, the only way to grow a namespace or TLD is through usage.… Continue reading Eurid and the failure to promote dotEU

The search function… Continue reading NameJet Launched
Secondary Market Frowned Upon by IE ccTLD
Whenever I meet up with colleagues in the domain industry from outside Ireland they are always amazed at the size of the IE namespace. While it’s not the smallest ccTLD in the world, it is one of the smallest in Europe, especially when compared to its neighbours. Of course one of the many reasons for… Continue reading Secondary Market Frowned Upon by IE ccTLD

I mentioned DNZoom a few weeks ago and was hoping to be able to try it out. I’ve been invited to take part in the private beta with a handful of others. I’ve been playing around with the interface and the various functions while chatting to Dan Kimball, one of the driving forces behind the… Continue reading DNZoom Closed Beta
The Dead Auction – Moniker Auction at Affiliate Summit
I’ve listened in to several domain auctions over the last year or so. Even if you didn’t have the list of domains it could be a lively and entertaining experience. Last night’s auction, however, was terrible. It wasn’t the Adam and
