Posted by DomainGang on January 15, 2016, at 4:08 pm
Domain investors that attended NamesCon 2016 in Las Vegas had an amazing time connecting, exchanging ideas and forging new business relationships.

Rick Schwartz : A Domain Christmas Story
Posted by DomainGang on December 20, 2015, at 6:12 am
A frosty Nor’easter wind was blowing cold air onto the Florida coast; remnants of frost on the ground would barely last after sunrise. It was almost Christmas, and one man laid restless in his large, mahogany bed, rolling every couple of minutes. The Domain King, Rick Schwartz, had reasons to be unable to sleep, and […]

How I Ended Up Purchasing & Owning Uniregistry.com via Uniregistry
Posted by DomainGang on October 5, 2015, at 8:50 am
A very bizarre thing occurred to me at exactly 4:20am Eastern, on Wednesday – or was it Thursday, October 1st. I can’t remember. Too much beer. I was discovering the secret options of Uniregistry domain registrar, and out of feeling a bit adventurous I typed in “Uniregistry.com” and clicked the search button. To my astonishment, […]

Top 10 security questions to safeguard your domain registrar password
Posted by DomainGang on October 2, 2015, at 8:48 pm
Domain theft is rampant. Thanks to mostly Chinese cyberthieves wanting to steal your 10-digit domains that begin with 8888, or your XYQJ “junk letter” .coms, your domains are in danger. Two-factor authentication is important to have but not all domain registrars provide it. In cases where two-factor authentication is not available, the next best thing […]

Domainer Monday : I’m *CRANKY* and I’m not gonna take this anymore!!!
Posted by DomainGang on September 8, 2015, at 11:54 am
It was 6:45am when the phone rang. Still asleep, drool wet on my pillow from last night’s excessive drinking, I picked up the phone. Who is this, I muttered, squinting to see the number. “Hey Lucius, it’s Elliot, good morning! Rise and shine, sunshine!” At first, I thought it was a joke. Then I recognized […]

ABC to XYZ : When Larry called Negari
Posted by DomainGang on August 15, 2015, at 2:05 pm
Daniel Negari scrolled through his emails, finishing off the last bits of a crunchy chicken salad with balsamic vinegar and croutons. Twenty five notifications about XYZ domains becoming active web sites, a couple of emails from Paul Stahura, five spam promos that somehow escaped the strict .XYZ filters – all this pile of work and […]

Domain Red Alert : Just another crazy day at Uniregistry!
Posted by DomainGang on July 25, 2015, at 1:07 pm
Four minutes past eleven on a quiet Saturday morning, red alarms went blaring out at Uniregistry’s NOC in the Caymans. There was an unexpected emergency, something persistent and resembling an orchestrated attack against the registry’s network. Jonas Right, junior sysadmin, caught the incident first; he had to alert Frank Schilling. “Frank, we have a problem, […]

Domain jungle – Part 1 : If TLDs could talk, what would they say?
Posted by DomainGang on July 20, 2015, at 5:35 pm
Ever thought what TLDs think, when we go to sleep and leave them alone? No, we’re not high on anything besides some real frappe coffee, but the question still remains: how do TLDs view themselves, and if they could speak out, what would they say? What would they confide to us – their masters – […]

Domainer buying guide: How to buy domains from Mike Mann
Posted by DomainGang on June 14, 2015, at 9:08 pm
Every domain selling venue has its secrets, when it comes down to offering discounts to their domain inventory. Negotiating with the seller of a domain is part of the domainer culture of offering less than the asking price. Just like car sales, never pay full price for the domain on sale, unless you’re after the […]
