Back in 2011, a so-called “insider” shared a guide on how to acquire domains “on the cheap,” pitching a step-by-step strategy built around lowball offers, feigned scarcity, and playing the role of a budget-strapped buyer.

GoDaddy’s Afternic platform introduced a self-brokerage option yesterday, seeking to engage domain investors that would like to handle inbound inquiries themselves.

The recent brokered listing of the domain AI.com has ended speculation about its status since the last known sale in 2021.

It’s Tuesday and it’s the proper time this week to ask a crucial question: What did you do last week? It’s a trap question, specifically for those who work 9-5 or any other shift of employment. Elon Musk asked that question last week by sending an email to a bunch of federal employees. It’s like […]
Copyright © 2025 DomainGang.com · All Rights Reserved.December, the month of domain discounting!
Domain investors work hard, almost 12 months a year. I say “almost” because December seems to be the least productive month of the year and the most expensive one. Full of holiday joy, December is almost fully spent with family and friends, leading to plenty of money spent on outings, trips, and presents. With that […]
