I hate DST : Daylight Saving Time affects #domain investing

Posted by DomainGang on March 14, 2021, at 8:46 pm

Daylight Saving Time (DST) sprang us forward last night, moving the clocks from 2:00am to 3:00am in the US. Losing an hour of sleep is not the biggest problem, as is the fact that the US does so two weeks ahead of most other countries, including Europe. Summer time arrives when it’s not exactly spring, […]

#Clubhouse domainers : Time to get your 10 dollar domain name?

Posted by DomainGang on January 25, 2021, at 3:27 pm

Call me stupid, but I just had to join Clubhouse. It’s an iOS app, so for us Android plebes it’s a no-go. My fingers typed in www dot apple dot com and minutes later I was ordering a spanking new Apple iPhone 12. Seven hundred dollars lighter—I wanted to keep my Samsung S20 and didn’t […]

Presidential debate #domains : Some fun exact match registrations!

Posted by DomainGang on September 30, 2020, at 10:33 am

Like millions of others, watching the 1st presidential debate yesterday I was hoping for an open dialog between two – very old – adults. Alas, it was a Shitstorm.com. You can buy that domain on Afternic, as it’s been waiting for 20 years. Tantrums and interruptions ensued, leading to a show unworthy of a ticket […]

PIR-o-mania : And now get ready for unlimited price increases for dot .ORG #domains

Posted by DomainGang on May 2, 2020, at 2:40 pm

The acquisition of the PIR Registry by Ethos Capital might have been cockblocked for now, as ICANN put the brakes on the transaction.

Relinquishing their non-profit status […]

Your #domain names are safe and secure at #Uniregistry

Posted by DomainGang on April 6, 2020, at 8:22 pm

A lot of ignorant commentary in blog posts today suggests that your domains at Uniregistry are in some type of “danger,” or lockdown. Others raise a “warning” that if the supposed transition fails to move your domains to GoDaddy, they are liable for only up to $10,000 dollars. The truth of the matter is that […]

Goodbye #domaining …

Posted by DomainGang on December 31, 2019, at 1:43 pm

It’s time to say goodbye, farewell and adios amigos to all domain name investors. The ride so far has been fantastic, the stories and news were matched by the great personalities of both real and imaginary characters – but it’s time to go. Taking a much needed sabbatical for the rest of the year. As […]

No.

Posted by DomainGang on August 9, 2019, at 4:31 pm

No. I don’t want to get back to you if I change my mind. It won’t happen. Unless you believe that by filling out a form with your name and number you’re entitled to some special treatment. I have the domain name that you want. I set the price. You simply are a passer-by. As […]

WHO CARES???

Posted by DomainGang on August 6, 2019, at 9:18 am

Who cares? Do you care? Do you??? This burning question arises every time we make a decision, small or big, and at the end of the day the same question mark remains. WHO CARES? Apparently, the owner of WhoCares.com does care, although judging from past content at the web site, they didn’t use to care. […]
