Junkyard .XYZ domain fails to sell at Flippa
After a month of continuous bumping by its seller, and the use of the augmented reality that flaky registration numbers generated, Domaining.XYZ failed to sell. Hardly a surprise, as its seller chose to ignore all public and private advice about the actual performance of .XYZ domains. With more than 215,000 robo-registrations at Network Solutions, the […]

Copyright © 2024 DomainGang.com · All Rights Reserved.War over .Wine: Forbes tells France to zip it about gTLD domain names
Eli Sugarman wrote a steamy article at Forbes, advising the French ICANN delegates to put a lid on it, cork it, or just plainly drop the argument altogether. The approval by ICANN of an allocation process for the dot .Wine and dot .Vin gTLDs, enraged the French officials, who called out ICANN as unfit to […]
Copyright © 2024 DomainGang.com · All Rights Reserved.Close call with .XYZ but no cherry was popped!
Today we had a close call with the .XYZ gTLD – the right arm of Network Solutions robo-registration masterpiece. Willing to challenge our luck, we promised to register one .XYZ domain, thus popping our cherry like Rick Schwartz – if Greece won against Costa Rica. Fortunately, the game was decided in a penalty shoot out, […]
Copyright © 2024 DomainGang.com · All Rights Reserved.Uniregistry: Dot .Guitars biggest omission now fixed
There’s no doubt that Uniregistry has chosen a great variety of gTLDs to operate; whether one feels .sexy having a .tattoo, taking .pics on .christmas or fighting for a good .link to shop for a .gift on .blackfriday, they might end up snapping a .photo while playing .guitar. Phew. 😀 Speaking of the latter, dot […]
Copyright © 2024 DomainGang.com · All Rights Reserved.Go Global! Be Global! Trade Global!
A lot of raving over the latest dot .Global gTLD but in our opinion, this is just superficial. Surely, great keyword+gTLD combinations stand a good chance to be sold at the Registry auctions, often at prices that might shock many dot .com owners. However, none of these dot .Global domains are as impressive, as Dr. […]
Copyright © 2024 DomainGang.com · All Rights Reserved.Uniregistry: Who’s running your back end?
Another creative – and hilarious – ad in the Uniregistry campaign was revealed today. The so-called “elevator pitch” ads are framed inside the elevators of the primary expo for ICANN50. The first one, titled “We run Santa’s namespace“, was equally fun to review. 😀 Simply brilliant! Clearly making a pun on “back end”, the ad […]
Copyright © 2024 DomainGang.com · All Rights Reserved.Net trolls threaten the vine! France on dot .Wine and dot .Vin gTLDs at ICANN 50
In an article published in the French newspaper, Le Monde, the focus is the apparent Internet threat presented to French wine, as manifested in the new gTLDs, dot .Wine and dot .Vin. Titled “Net trolls threaten the vine” the article raises the alarm to French consumers and apparent producers of wine – presented below, […]

French President Francois Hollande announced the French army is on alert, over ICANN’s affirmation that they will go forth with a plan to launch dot .Wine and dot .Vin as early as July. The unorthodox move and threat against an ally, shows just how serious the French government is with its protectionism of wine and […]
Copyright © 2024 DomainGang.com · All Rights Reserved.Uniregistry: We run Santa’s domain namespace
A very creative ad campaign from Uniregistry, the brand new domain registrar and back-end provider, was revealed at ICANN 50 in London. The campaign features two gTLD assets of Uniregistry, dot .Christmas and dot .Gift, with the motto “If we can run Santa’s namespace, we can run yours.” Needless to say, Santa is pointing that […]
Copyright © 2024 DomainGang.com · All Rights Reserved.The old man and the stripper contest: A gTLD domain parable
Time for another editorial. Some domainers appear to be still in denial regarding the adoption of gTLDs, and for some reason have taken a hybrid approach. On one hand, they bad-mouth gTLDs in every way possible. On the other hand, they dip into the gTLD pool for “research“, or “for fun“, or “to experiment.” There’s […]

Charlie Jackson is your average Joe domainer; the Colorado father of two operates a local medical hemp farm, while delving in domains in his spare time. “When I started domaining so many years ago in 2007, the dot com was king and nothing else mattered,” says Jackson. “Recently, after seeing how much traction these gTLDs […]
