I was talking with a friend of mine who sold a domain recently for a large 6 figure sum. He told me he sold it on the first phone call he made. That's incredible if you think about it. I've been selling domains for many years and I've never sold a large company a large [...]

South Africa is not only on the world stage hosting the World Cup, but its country code (.co.za) started off 2010 with a bang. Latona's auctioned off fly.co.za in Las Vegas for $65,000 .... which a lot of people have done this month to get to South Africa. Other notable .co.za sales have been: Furniture.co.za [...]

The best part of bringing the show to each corner of the world is meeting the local domainers. We had many domainers from British Colombia [...]

I've decided to take my own advice. Lately I've been doing a lot of reorganizing and repositioning within my organization. I've been basing many of my decisions on the same cliché's I'm always preaching. The thing is, I don't always listen to my own sermons. So I'm writing a new series based on those simple [...]

A few months ago we made a radical switch to move all finance, support and domain transfers to our team in Manila. To say that some of our customers have been frustrated would be an understatement. The time difference has been a major hassle. We'd send an email to them, only to get a question [...]
