Copyright © 2024 DomainGang.com · All Rights Reserved.Domains NOT to register: CanonUSA .camera
Domainers don’t differ much from other consumers, and as such some get inspiration from existing products, services and corporate names. Alas, this approach is the surest path to generating infringing domain registrations.

One of the reasons Flippa is successful as a domain auction venue, is the wide range of domains, web sites and apps being auctioned. Still, there have been questionable auctions in the past.
