Hi. I would like to seek for some kind sharing if anyone here had experience using those professional appraisal service before. Although I own several domains, but I have yet to engage any appraisal service before, let alone selling my domains...well I just keep them until anyone interested initiate the contact.

Despite hearing the famous SEDO appraisal service, I have yet to actually give it a shot due to the charges is not cheap. So, are there any good alternatives apart from getting appraised by peers?

Also, I understand that godaddy do provide this service too, just wondering if they are good in this area?

Ok buddies, we are well aware that godday in currently topping the first position as the fastest growing domain registrar worldwide. This is despite that they are not having the best price for domain registration!

Apart from godaddy, we also know that ENOW, TUSCOW are the major player in domain registration business. So what about other registrars like :-
1. Registerfly
2. Moniker
3. 1&1
4. NameKing
5. Fabulous

Also, I wonder how those web hosting + domain registrar catch up with the above giant players? Or they just do it as "add-on" service and don't really pay much attention about the sub-income??:eek:

Out of curiousity, which are countries would you think purchase the most domain names in term of number of domains? I believe US is most likely ranked at the top position, with UK follwing at 2nd place.

What's your guess?:p

note:- admin, could you kindly help to add "n" in the word "coutry"? I missed it out..sorry!

Hello, wonder if anyone come across phising activities on fraudulent sites which are displaying "recognizable" domain names? Beofre this, numerical IP address were use for phishing activities, now it seems that those people are moving toward using domain names in their spoof activities.

As a surfer, it appear less suspicious if a site is displaying a recognizable domain name versus numerical IP address. Well, when we do see numerical IP display in browser, we will definitely be much alert. But what about domain name?? Would you be less alert and not suspicious if you were to reach a site that display a domain in your broswer??

Hi everyone here. I noticed that is has become a common practice for big business entity to just register a whole series of major TLD (.com, .net, .biz, .org, .info ) when they wanted to register a domain name. This will help to sort of protect the business branding if they are going to use the said domain for ecommerce activities.

However, as individual domainer, would you also be doing the same? i.e. if your want to register a domain "mysite", would you also register :-
1. mysite.com
2. mysite.org
3. mysite.biz
4. mysite.net
5. mysite.info

Or you would just register some of it?

Hi

We have two designs, and as the site has grown, one might be better than the other. Since this is a community, I would appreciate your input as to which you prefer.

What if two people are in a domain dispute and one of them had the domain name first, but the other one had a business with the name first for a much longer period of time?

Anyone have any experience with AdBrite either as an advertiser or publisher? I have heard a lot about them recently, but am looking for some more informative insight before I jump in.

Hi guys, realizing that some of my domains which are currently parked do received some traffic here and there occasionally, but there seldom incurred any clicks in them and didn't earn me a good income, in fact they were almost zero.

So I am thinking, instead of wasting the potential trafic for these domains, wouldn't it be better if I were to point them to my main site which is developed and ready to received more traffic!

However, I am quite concern as to would doing this could potentially hurt my SERP or not? I have this concern due to such practise might be viewed as "bumping" or "blackhat" trick to the eye of major SE. I have no worries if I only point 2 or 3 domains, but I plan to build up a little bit of my domain portfolio and point them (about 20domains) to the main site, that's why I am little bit concern about this.

Or did I "over" anxious?:p

Good day to everyone! Good mood today as I have been making some progress lately. By the way, I wonder if a domain has word "The" in it especially at the beginning, would it sort of killing off the value?

Has you ever had this type of domain in your portfolio? How does it performing? As a domain investor, has it been able to reap good return for you?
