Can’t stop the Bustelo Bros, the dynamic duo of domain investor brothers, Moby Bustelo and Dick Bustelo. The NamesCon hall of famers just launched a new web site on BusteloBros.com – and it’s a great trip down memory lane. “We always wanted to keep ourselves locked down in the 1990s when it all started,” said […]

Bass Lake Watersports : State trademark not strong enough to usurp matching .com #domain

Posted by DomainGang on May 29, 2020, at 1:14 pm

When you register a state trademark, it’s not exactly the strongest claim in a UDRP case. The registrant of BassLakeWatersports.com is advising that boating, kayaking, and other activities were favorite activities on Bass Lake. The Complainant is Yosemite / Bass Lake Activities, Inc., with a state trademark for BASS LAKE WATERSPORTS. The panelists in this […]

Media Options just acquired its second most valuable #domain name!

Posted by DomainGang on May 29, 2020, at 10:55 am

Media Options is led by ultra-busy domainer, Drew Rosener, and has been involved in numerous domain sales and acquisitions. There are many such sales that never get to see the light of day due to NDAs, we’d assume. The same goes for acquisitions. We have, however, come across a domain acquisition that is – in […]

Novi.com seller’s web site shows “suspended” notice

Posted by DomainGang on May 28, 2020, at 12:09 pm

Novi Tec, sellers of the domain Novi.com to Facebook, operate from the domain Novi-Tec.com. For some strange reason, that web site no longer displays the usual content, but a suspension notice instead: Of course, this could be due to a number of issues, such as a failed payment for hosting, or running up its traffic […]

Dirtyfling.com : #Domain was lost via the UDRP process after creative trademark lawyering

Posted by DomainGang on May 28, 2020, at 11:03 am

The domain Dirtyfling.com appears to be two generic words, “dirty” and “fling,” but a company called Brentwood Holding Group Inc asserted it infringes on its marks: Complainant claims rights in the FLINGSTER and DIRTYROULETTE trademarks through its ownership of the United States registered trademarks described below and through the goodwill it claims through its use […]

#Domainer’s car got keyed by dot com fanatics

Posted by DomainGang on May 27, 2020, at 2:19 pm

Don’t ever go down that fancy neighborhood in Crystal Lakes, Milwaukee, if you drive in a car with a gTLD tag. Dot .com fanatics, apparently, keyed the car of Rob Franzisky, domain investor and supporter of dot .life domains. In fact, Franzisky’s car tag reads BUCKS4LIFE and he has a www.Bucks4.life sticker on his back […]

Hop.in : Details on the company that spent $50,000 dollars on it

Posted by DomainGang on May 27, 2020, at 12:43 pm

It’s very rare that we hear LLL .in domains selling for five figures, and HOP.in sold on Sedo for $50,000 dollars. The Indian ccTLD is used since its launch as a “brand” enhancer, and in this case it creates a domain hack effect, for “hop in.” Which company spent $50k on a .in domain? As […]

UNNWO.org – Is this the new United Nations #domain and site?

Posted by DomainGang on May 27, 2020, at 11:23 am

Recently, the domain name UNNWO.org has been making the rounds. UNNWO stands for United Nations New World Order and the website is now the center of a debate about its legitimacy. Is the site really linked to the United Nations, or is it fake? The United Nations is an international organization founded in 1945. It […]

MemorialDay.com – Another premium US holiday #domain going to waste

Posted by DomainGang on May 25, 2020, at 2:12 pm

The premium, aged domain name MemorialDay.com is clearly going to waste. Undeveloped after 24 years, this 1996 registration does not even resolve. In 2017, MemorialDay.com showed a basic page about the meaning of “Memorial Day” sharing content about the fallen soldiers that are commemorated on this day. But not in recent years. Memorial Day is […]

Workforce.com #UDRP should have been a case of Reverse #Domain Name Hijacking

Posted by DomainGang on May 25, 2020, at 11:30 am

The UDRP filed against the aged, generic domain Workforce.com is one for the proverbial books. The domain was registered in 1994, according to DomainTools, and its registrant acquired Mediatec Publishing, Inc d.b.a Human Capital Media, that used the domain Workforce.com for its print publication “Workforce” from 1994 until 2019. The Complainant in this UDRP is […]
