eNom the cheapest registrar for gTLD registrations

Posted by DomainGang on February 9, 2014, at 1:05 pm

In less than three hours after we published single letter availability lists for dot .plumbing, dot .singles and dot .clothing, all the lists were ‘scalped’ by domain investors eager to capitalize on short gTLDs. ‘Short‘ is a relative term here, as both .plumbing and .clothing are 8 letters long. 😀 Regardless, the rush of domain […]

Posted by DomainGang on December 13, 2012, at 11:02 am

Domain registrar eNom has retired its almost decade old “backpack girl” from its future parked pages.

Domain registrar eNom rolled out their new web site today; stepping away from the cheesy “Backpack Girl” visuals of the past decade.

Update: Domain now taken

Posted by DomainGang on April 15, 2011, at 1:07 pm

It was only last week that we pointed out how a new definition of domain status has been used by eNom. Described as “reactivation period” it’s apparently just a euphemism for “pending auction at Namejet”. 😀 On the day we publicized the news, the domain name ReactivationPeriod.com was available but it was registered the very […]

Posted by DomainGang on April 6, 2011, at 11:28 pm

It looks like a lot of eNom domains that are pre-released on NameJet are now sharing the same, new contact information in the WHOIS: Reactivation Period (reactivation-pending@enom.com) +1.4252744500 Fax: +1.4259744791 15801 NE 24th Street Bellevue, WA 98004 US Looks like a method to “wrap” the status of these domains into some legal pretext as they […]

Exactly one year ago, Sedo announced the complete guide to the new navigational interface – something that hundreds of thousands of domainers embraced with relief.

For the past five years, an image of a smiling girl carrying a backpack has captivated the minds of visitors of numerous websites that are sitting idle, undeveloped.
