Domain Industry News

Longtime domain investor Vincent Jacques of VinsDomains.com is giving the ultimate gift to his son today – one of his kidneys. Vincent previously shared some background about why a kidney donation is critically needed:

Last night on Twitter, Vincent mentioned that the operation is scheduled for this morning:

So I’m 12 hours away from donating a kidney to my son, @VinnyJacques1 Please wish us luck and do something for somebody else today! Can’t wait to get him back on track!

Vincent and his son Vinny are in my thoughts this morning. I wish them both a full and speedy recovery.

InterNetX and Sedo just published its comprehensive Global Domain Report for 2021. The annual report is filled with useful domain name data, insights, highlights, and trends. At 76 pages in length, the report covers a wide variety of topics that will be interesting for domain investors to read. The report pdf is free to download (after sharing some contact information). The extensive report includes data shared by Verisign, Donuts, Radix, and other registry and registrar businesses.

This afternoon, DAN.com and Media Options announced a partnership that will allow DAN sellers to have Media Options broker domain names on their behalf. This is a nice option for DAN sellers who want to utilize the platform to sell their domain names but would prefer to have their make offer deals negotiated by a domain broker rather than on their own.

The press release announcing the deal with commentary from both parties is shared below, and I am able to share additional details about the mechanics of how this will work.
