Moniker Exiting the Drop Game?

One of the company’s drop-catching proxy registrars SantiamDomains recently (and quietly) changed hands and is now under Web.com’s ownership.

Ching.com Flipped For Profit After 6 Months

Bought on Namejet this past January, the domain Ching.com was resold in Sedo’s GreatDomains auction which closed last Thursday. While eyeballing a domain at Sedo’s latest monthly GreatDomains auction which closed this past Thursday, another domain, Ching.com caught my eye because I knew I had seen it before in the not too distant past.

Pending Delete Domain Assigned the Wrong Drop Date At Namejet Today

This morning I was going to put in a back order at Namejet for AppDevelopment.org, a domain that I believed to be dropping from the registry today. When I headed over to Namejet to register the back order, I was surprised to see that there was (and still is) a day left until closing time, [...] Continue reading
