Unbeatable Domains News

DropCatch seems to have an ear for domains. Their collection is an interesting one. If you visit their Pre-Release Auctions section and begin digging for gold, you’ll definitely run into some funny gold. Maybe not as easily commercialized as you’d hoped, but plenty consisting of real words, and you’ll find many potential brand names — that sound like your favorite goofy relative thought it up. Some read like –> Read More

It appears that a significant benefit Afternic derives from having so many partner sellers is that the partners can handle the work of providing some search capability to buyers, because Afternic doesn’t have any such thing. Their database cannot really be searched on their site. On the home page, to start with, Afternic has 3 columns: Premium Domains, Trending, and New Listings. Premium has 7 names there, and –> Read More

After checking some ngTLDs the other day, I was a little surprised at certain huge corporations’ not using their .club, .life, .site and other versions of the company name if they owned them. Except Amazon, who has acquired many of their names, and hosted them so they redirect to the main site. For instance, Amazon.tech and Amazon.life are two very nice examples of useful names that could have –> Read More

FakeNews.com sold for $65k at NamesCon in January, but the laws of pseudo-physics say there should be an opposite reaction provoked at the same time. RealNews.com is up and running, for example. So I notice these domains, or similar ones, have attracted interest lately, and are open for offers: TrustedNews.com FairNews.com ImpartialNews.com UncensoredNews.com For anyone looking for some relief from dire-sounding news, there’s an alternate path: RandomGoodNews.com GoodNewsProject.com –> Read More

I thought about simply posting screenshots to show you what you’ll see on the Whois page of various registrars, but this is an evolving situation. I’ve seen changes to Whois within the last 24 hours. What you can do is check a general Whois page, like Whois.com, DomainTools.com, etc. — and if part of the contact info you need isn’t there, check the Whois page of the registrar –> Read More

If you hold a lot of domains, your head is probably spinning, or you’ve discovered what migraines are like. GDPR & EU privacy law is causing registrars and ICANN itself to scramble, trying to create policies to protect privacy for EU domain owners, and simultaneously revamp all privacy policies. It’s a mess. Registrars are doing different things. We domain sellers would’ve liked to continue being able to use –> Read More

Do you like hand-registering domains? If so, you probably spend a lot of time trying to come up with brandables, great phrases, or trendy words that no one’s bothered with yet, at least in some extensions. Sometimes I’ll make lists of different types of words, and awhile back decided to extend my search to phrases. I made a list of phrases with “and” in the middle. It was –> Read More

GigaDomains has been under major reconstruction — but we’re getting very close! The site will soon display our portfolio and be easily searchable if you want a keyword domain, short name, or a particular category. Some of our best categories are: brandables including both keyword & invented words, scientific and robot names, and LLLLs. Mike has been doing the programming for the site. And then he’ll have his –> Read More
