One week in the mountains is a must for every serious Domainer
After spending a week in the Carolinas and Virginia, without as much as a blip of Internet access, I’m now purged of any negative thoughts about domaining. The first day, I thought my left and right brain hemispheres would shrivel. I found myself tapping away on a smart phone that was as smart as a […]
Copyright © 2025 DomainGang.com · All Rights Reserved.DomainGang is now 4 years old
There goes another year – DomainGang.com is now 4 years old! Finally, next year we can join domain kindergarten. 😀 With the support of friends, loyal readers and gracious sponsors we’ve managed to achieve 40% of a decade in just four years. That’s a remarkable feat, considering it all started as an experimental repository of jokes […]
Copyright © 2025 DomainGang.com · All Rights Reserved.Domain guest posts must be unique – and other rants
Is it autumn yet? Time for another editorial. With TRAFFIC Ft. Lauderdale ‘ante portas’, the domain heat will continue well into October, bringing domainers together for drinks and “joint ventures” – a wholesome domain business. And now, time for some whining. Quite often, I receive emails with content, such as domain infographics or articles related […]

After almost four years of displaying a boring logo that meant very little to our readers, DomainGang is rebranding. Myself, the CEO, and two buxom interns, we rolled up our sleeves and dove into the trenches to redesign our logo, right this very weekend. And we did it! From the get-go, it was a plan […]
Copyright © 2025 DomainGang.com · All Rights Reserved.Read the article – Don’t just skim the headline!
It’s time for another editorial. Three years ago, I made the decision to identify real news articles by placing an identifier – an “100%” image – at the bottom of such posts. Prior to August 2010, all articles appeared mixed, whether they contained true or parody material. That decision, was based on the unfortunate incident […]
Copyright © 2025 DomainGang.com · All Rights Reserved.DirenGeziParki.com – Tracking police and state brutality in Turkey
My plans for an editorial this fine Saturday morning changed; writing about anything other than the police & state brutality in Istanbul, Turkey would be inappropriate. Tens of thousands of people peacefully marched and occupied Gezi Park, one of the last remaining patches of green in Istanbul. The Turkish state, led by Prime Minister Tayyip […]

Tragic events that involve human loss, such as the Boston marathon bombing, attract certain types of domain registrants like bees to honey. Some of them do it to benefit financially, by attempting to hold the domain until a book or a movie comes out. Others believe that they’d profit from a quick flip, as if […]

Our thoughts and prayers go out to those injured at the bomb explosion during the Boston marathon. 🙁 DomainGang will be upgrading its server hardware later today, including IP changes. Due to that, you may not be able to access the web site for the next 48 hours or until the new IPs propagate.
Copyright © 2025 DomainGang.com · All Rights Reserved.5 things not to do onto other domainers
Like every other industry, competition in domaining is sometimes intense. Domainers face off one another for good deals on domains, bidding against each other in domain auctions, and rush to hand-register the latest trends, news and keywords – preferably, as a .com. There are a few things that a domainer should not do onto another […]
Copyright © 2025 DomainGang.com · All Rights Reserved.Domain News Done Right: More than 2,000 unique articles
When DomainGang started out in September 2009, it was meant to be a repository of ‘quirky stories’ and other anecdotal news and information about domain names, and the domain industry. Back then, the plan was simple: if something made the domain industry news, report it. If it were an outrageous and ‘outside the box’ idea, […]
Copyright © 2025 DomainGang.com · All Rights Reserved.Taxes and .pw domains: they both suck!
Domain investing is a serious business. We can talk all day about the new .pw domains – although I am not sure who in their right mind would go after a bunch of “pigeon weed” ccTLDs. Definitely neither Mike, or us for that matter. Ah, yes, taxes. They also suck. However, because the economy, no […]

After yesterday’s shocking initiative by Tia Wood to take her blog private (sort of), we decided that the right time has arrived to follow suit. After three full and joyful years as an open feed for all domain investors to peruse and benefit from, it’s about time to make some changes around here, mmmkay? DomainGang […]
