nafI noticed a UDRP was filed against the 4 letter AATI.com domain name at the National Arbitration Forum (NAF) within the past couple of days. The case is #1701430. It caught my attention because it is a valuable 4 letter .com domain name, and nothing really stood out for me when I thought of the “AATI” initials.

Mike Berkens shared an interesting tweet about the domain name:

According to NameBio, AATI.com did indeed sell on NameJet for $2,510 on October 11th. I did not have this domain name backordered, so I can’t tell you how many

October 2016 Great Domains Auction Results

Sedo’s Great Domains monthly auction concluded today, and the auction grossed over $150k in sales. HNW.com, Sleek.com, and Luxus.de were the three largest domain name sales during this month’s auction.

Some of the higher value domain names that did not sell at auction include Fountain.com, HBS.com, and HAA.com. Prospective buyers who may have in interest in discussing the unsold inventory should contact Sedo.

Since the auction closed today, it is unlikely that any of the purchases have been completed yet. Sedo typically reports its sales publicly to DNJournal and NameBio when they close, so keep that in mind when viewing the sales report.

Here are the domain names that sold along with their sale prices:

How I Manage Domain Names After Auctions

domain-auctionsI do my best to keep my business manageable. One area that can throw this off is post-auction domain name management. Because I regularly bid on NameJet, GoDaddy Auctions, SnapNames, and DropCatch.com, I can win domain names at several registrars. I want to share how I manage my domain names after auction to ensure the domain names are kept safe and not overlooked by me.

I most regularly bid on NameJet, and the domain names usually end up at eNom or Network Solutions. For the names at eNom, I generally keep them there as eNom is one of my the primary registrars I use. They also lock domain names for a little over a month. When it comes to Network Solutions, I usually keep those names there until renewal time, and then I transfer them out to consolidate them.

If I win domain names at other registrars, I typically transfer them to eNom, Uniregistry, or GoDaddy depending on my plans for the domain name. If my plan is to sell to an end user right away, I will sometimes transfer domain names to GoDaddy, as I have found that is where many end user buyers want to transfer their names. Even if GoDaddy isn’t their preference, they may feel comfortable to accept a push because GoDaddy is so well known. For other domain names I don’t plan to sell right away, I generally

Flu.com is for Sale on NameJet

I was looking through the upcoming auction list on NameJet, and I saw an interesting domain name for sale: Flu.com. I saw that this auction has a reserve price, so I knew that it was a private listing rather than an expiring domain name auction.

Interestingly, Whois records show that Flu.com is owned by a company called Medimmune, which is described as the “global biologics research and development arm” of pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca. It looks like AZ has a flu vaccine, but it doesn’t appear that this is going so well, according to an article in the Wall Street Journal this Summer.

If you visit Flu.com right now, you can see that it is a parked page with PPC advertising. There is also a “Buy this domain” link at the top of the page taking visitors to a Parking Crew inquiry form:

NameJet System Interruption

I get quite a bit of email from NameJet on a daily basis, and admittedly, I don’t read everything I receive. Yesterday afternoon, I received an abnormal email announcing a “system interruption” that impacted quite a few auctions that closed while the website was not functioning properly. As a result, these auctions that closed were reopened.

Because I tend to ignore many of these auction start and other emails I receive, I thought I would share it with people who may have overlooked this email today. I believe only bidders whose accounts were impacted received this email. If you have an auction that was impacted, be sure your bid is updated.

Here’s the email I received:
