GoDaddy has been buying up companies for years. Some of the acquisitions happened fairly quietly and without fanfare, while others have been fairly seismic in their impact on a particular market segment. When they bought NeuStar, for example, they went from having no registry services to having a big chunk of that pie. In the… Continue reading GoDaddy Acquires Dan.com

Bido To Relaunch Next Week
Domain auction site Bido.com, which was forced to close last year due to technical issues, is relaunching next week.

Image via Wikipedia Stephane mentioned the sales of auto.fr and voitures.fr, which are two premium names, being dictionary terms. What’s interesting about these sales is that both names were supposedly bought by the same buyer and that they have set a new record for .fr sales. While porn.fr may have sold for €30k, auto.fr went… Continue reading Record Sales In .FR Aftermarket

While it is… Continue reading Deleted Domains Lists – Get Inspiration!
