ICANN to Bangladesh about .Bangla : If you don’t use it, you lose it
ICANN’s rules on new gTLD applications are clear: if you don’t use it, you lose it.

Copyright © 2024 DomainGang.com · All Rights Reserved.Wrongside : Cleveland.Rocks is an overpriced domain at $55,000 dollars
Rightside is getting some positive publicity with the sale of Autism.Rocks for a reported $100,000 dollars. Let’s not forget Elliot Silver‘s cause-driven registration of TeamSilver.Rocks to benefit the Dana-Farber cancer research institute. While the use of “rocks” is rather outdated, we still like this late 90’s buzzword, as much as “far out” from the 70’s […]

Copyright © 2024 DomainGang.com · All Rights Reserved.Golf.com.br domain : Brazilian generic ccTLD lost in UDRP
Gotta love words with secondary meaning. The domain Golf.com.br, a Brazilian ccTLD, was lost in UDRP, after its owner tried to sell it for $100,000 dollars. It’d be great to do so if the content at Golf.com.br were related to golf – the sport. Unfortunately, the Complainant in this UDRP is the German automotive corporation […]

The new Internet namespace has proven to be valuable for startup companies; limited budgets save a lot of money for development, versus domain names.
