Tracking domain names in public places is like chasing Pokemons, without the embarrassment.

Copyright © 2024 DomainGang.com · All Rights Reserved.Domainer attitude : “You can’t afford it!”
Many direct inquiries about domains ignore the fact that the domain is already listed in a domain marketplace, such as Sedo, Afternic or GoDaddy. Instead of making an offer, these emails ask how much it’s for sale. As savvy domain investors know, the first one to quote a price, loses. 😀 We received the following […]

These days, almost any word, string or phrase even, has gTLD potential, at a starting price of $185,000 dollars paid to ICANN. Applications go through the approval process, that includes a lot of lobbying before a gTLD is accepted. Sometimes, different parties compete for the same gTLD with multiple applications, which might lead to an […]
Copyright © 2024 DomainGang.com · All Rights Reserved.Chinese domain market report : Numeric domains save the week
It’s been a slow week for the Chinese domain market. Other than a notable sale of a two letter domain, YK.com, and the apparent re-sale of another, PT.com, the typical “Chips” market appears rather flat.
