I've done some bone-headed things in my time but this one might have taken the cake. Only time will tell. Here's the skinny. .Com.mx domains have never been popular, In fact, you could, even today, hand-register almost any name you wanted. Besides the fact that they are just cctld domains there is a risk that [...]

The cat below was on Germany.com for years. The owner refused to talk to domainers. Anyway, I've secured a management agreement with the owner so it is now my responsibility. The site you see live on www.germany.com now is a site that my team built. I'm looking for a sales person in Germany to help [...]

This cat has been on the web for 12 years now but for the last 6 months or so I can't find him. Have any of you seen him? Anyone who answers the question correctly gets 2 points that are worth absolutely nothing.

A year or so ago I picked up the domain Iran.com. The name gets 2000-5000 unique visitors a day. Revenue can be as low as 50 dollars but often spikes above 250 dollars a day, depending on how much the country is in the news. It's in the news a lot. That however, wasn't my [...]

I'm having a hard time thinking of a way to trump my skinning of Name Pros. If anyone has any suggestions, please email them to rick AT ricklatona.com. I want to "keep the pedal to the metal" as they would say. I have no problem continuing to up my ad budget but I don't want [...]

The 1% interest for the first month is now permanent. It’s a promotion that has been running throughout April and due to the positive response we are going to keep it running. In addition, I’m making an announcement that DigiPawn, Inc will finance up to 70% of any purchase made through the Daily Domains newsletter [...]

Seriously folks, don’t do it. I get asked by people all the time if I want to fund a business “idea” of theirs. It usually turns out that they have a good domain so they’ve developed a business plan to work with that domain. They never wanted to be in that business of course, and [...]

You might be surprised to find out that I don’t think a great domain name is important to a business to have a successful web presence. I completely disagree with people like Rick Shwartz who think that Hershey’s Corporation is stupid for not buying candy.com or Marriott needs to do some soul searching to find [...]

Why do they have to make life so difficult? I'm trying to transfer out two names that were registered there only four months ago. Both the names are unlocked. I called their support department and they told me they had to open a trouble ticket to their engineering group. Then after that, I get this [...]

As if this site wasn't self-promoting enough.... Most of you know that I'm the owner of DigiPawn, Inc which loans money on domains. Throughout the month of April we are offering 1% interest on your first month. That means that the cash is cheap if you can pay it back quickly. Keep this in mind [...]
