Cybersquatters want to take your .CO shirt

Posted by DomainGang on August 6, 2010, at 3:04 pm

It was to be expected: Cybersquatters are taking aim at companies and registering the .co equivalent of high traffic .com domains, aiming to receive a trickle of the .com traffic. A fine example, as we mentioned earlier, is Papajohns.co which is registered by some guy in Hong Kong. The pizza giant has yet to wake […]

Posted by DomainGang on July 30, 2010, at 9:35 am

Mike Mann has a plan: to take over the world, one dot co at a time. His recent sale of Flying.co was admittedly a raindrop in an ocean of sales. What matters, is that Mike Mann has a certain taste for top-tier domain keywords, and this time around with the launch of .CO exactly 10 […]

Did Overstock PR trigger a new Domain Record?

Posted by DomainGang on July 29, 2010, at 9:36 am

If you have been following the .CO registration counter as we have, you’ve seen it roll past the 100k, 200k, 300k registrations. Less than 10 days since the official rollout, the .CO marvel has surpassed that of many other TLDs from recent and not so recent past. It’s very difficult nowadays to generate so much […]

Smelling the .CO Millions!

Posted by DomainGang on July 27, 2010, at 12:53 am

One of the biggest .CO domains reserved by the .CO Registry is no other than traffic magnet destination for 2010 – Chatroulette! Yes, that’s correct: the domain Chatroulette.co was not pre-released and certainly not offered during the landrush. Bummer. Instead, the .CO Registry reserved the domain, apparently aiming to auction it later on – preferably […]

Putting the final nail to the .TEL .COffin

Posted by DomainGang on July 26, 2010, at 9:53 am

When the .TEL TLD came out of the ICANN stables it was supposed to be a revolutionary new method of establishing a new identity online. Adding to the launch hoopla was the infamous Ben.tel video depicting two hormone-laden Brits fighting for the attention of an uptown blonde – all while riding an intercity train. The […]

Screw you! – Says savvy company to Domainer in an offer letter

Posted by DomainGang on July 26, 2010, at 1:20 am

The recent launch of .CO as a global – albeit national – TLD has created a new breed of domain registrants: those with tight budgets.
