A domain registrar that mainly caters to Danish customers has been accused of scamming people out of large amounts of money. The company is called BuyDomains.dk, but as far as I know it has absolutely no connection to the leading U.S. company BuyDomains.com founded by industry legend Michael Mann. However, the owner of BuyDomains.dk, Christina [...]

The domain name slots.com has been sold for $5.5 million, easily making it the biggest sale of 2010 so far and one of the largest ever. Although the transaction still has to be concluded, domain company and marketplace Moniker has confirmed that buyer and seller has agreed to the price. The domain was auctioned off [...]

Domain auction site Bido.com has announced it is closing its doors immediately. This is really quite a shame. Although the marketplace struggled to secure a satisfactory amount of quality names for sale, it was quite liquid. And I think it has introduced many new people to the world of domaining. I actually bought quite a [...]

The company behind the world’s tallest building, Burj Khalifa in Dubai, has managed to get possession of the domain name burjkhalifa.com following a ruling by the National Arbitration Forum. Developer Emaar Properties failed to register the domain name when the 828 meter tall building suddenly changed name from Burj Dubai to Burj Khalifa (in honor [...]

In the domain world, most resellers want to get hold of generic names such as hotel.com or fight.com. The reasoning is that these kind of domains are what web surfers often try to type in, and that – if developed and optimized – they will secure high search engine rankings. While this is certainly true, [...]

I am auctioning off the domain name lono.com (LONO.com) over at Sedo. This is a really nice pronounceable so-called CVCV (consonant/vowel/consonant/vowel) domain that often attracts very high prices. The reserve price has been met with an initial bid of $2,500. Please feel free to join the bidding

Sedo’s premium .tv auction is now underway, and already there is some hectic bidding going on. After less than 24 hours of the auction, japan.tv has attracted 33 bids and stands at $9,999. Also jobs.tv, business.tv, germany.tv. and re.tv have all received bids of over $5,000. Only four domains have yet to receive bids – [...]

There are quite a few domains that can be misunderstood. I stumpled upon another rather funny one that was about to expire and be auctioned off at NameJet (it seems to have been renewed by now though). Eurosexchange.com was apparently meant to be a site with information about exchange rates for the European currency – [...]

There are many ways to find available domain names out there, but I have come across one that I think is pretty cool. At url2domain.com, you can enter any URL and see if any words there are available as .com domain names. For example, if you enter techcrunch.com, it will extract available domain names from [...]

I am auctioning off a great premium domain at Sedo. The name I am letting go is lmd.com, and since it is a no reserve auction, the domain is guaranteed to sell to the highest bidder. This is a really nice one, and I am only selling it in order to get funds for another [...]
