ICANN approves Egypt for the next domain conference
ICANN has been accused in the past for selecting “Club Med” type destinations for its domain conferences around the globe.

The domain industry is so small still, that a game of “Six degrees of Frank Schilling” would be pointless: everyone is usually no more one or two hops away from Frankie.

To fully understand the craving of Chinese domainers for numeric domains, one must possess a good grasp of the Chinese culture and language.

As domainers, we get those all the time: emails about buying a domain for an insignificant amount of money. That’s called lowballing and there’s already a certificate for it.

If you have the patience to scroll through your spam mailbox these days, you will soon discover an obvious pattern.
