Under pressure, NameJet winner submits payment to claim domain

A couple of days ago we wrote how a NameJet auction winner placed the domain in question on different domain venues, such as CAX.com, DNForum etc. even though he had no control of it yet. Not paying and seeking buyers is the act of “selling hot air” and it’s definitely unethical. It seems that the […]

Selling hot air: Unscrupulous Domainer attempts to flip domain prior to making payment

When one buys a house or a car, that means putting down a deposit or making full payment before being able to resell it. In the world of domaining, it seems that some people have no scruples and attempt to circumvent this basic rule of commerce: unless you own it, you can’t sell it. The […]

Update: Domain now taken

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 […]

Reactivation Period: eNom’s new game

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 […]

How Snatcher.org Ruined my Domain Business

Normal people get up at 8:00 am and start their day with a mug of coffee and some hardy breakfast and what do I do? I go through thousands of domains expiring on NameJet and I manually filter out the junk, then post the dictionary results at my blog. Five weeks ago, I received an […]
