Kathy Nielsen worked at Sedo for nearly seven years in a variety of roles, most recently as VP Business Development in Sedo’s Registry Services group. I noticed a change on Kathy’s LinkedIn page, and she is now listed as Executive Director of Registry Operations and Channel Relations at Dot Green Community, Inc.
I reached out to Kathy to get more information
NameCheap has been one of the leading Internet companies behind the fight for Net Neutrality. NameCheap has been advocating for Net Neutrality in a variety of ways on its website as well as on its NetNeutrality.com portal.
This afternoon, I saw a Facebook post from NameCheap CEO Rick Kirkendall with a photo of a video billboard advocating for Net Neutrality that has been set up right outside of FCC headquarters in Washington, DC. I learned that
Elliot did a posting today (click here to read it) about how the IDNX domain index, run by Thies Lindenthal and using data from Sedo.com, announced that domain prices have doubled since 2006.
I looked at idnx.com and read Lindenthal’s academic paper and it all seems very well researched, but I wish he published an actual list of the domain prices that he used to come up with this doubling in value. As a long time domainer (since 1995), one thing I have learned is that it is very hard to estimate the value of a domain or compare one domain sale with another. On the other hand, that does not mean a site like IDNX can’t track the domain market as a whole. Some of the IDNX price estimate is based on repeat sales of the same domains over time, and that is great way to do it, but some of the estimate is based on hedonic regression analysis which I think is kind of like what
On his personal blog, GoDaddy CEO Blake Irving published a letter he wrote to FCC Chairman Thomas E. Wheeler advocating to protect Net Neutrality. As the largest domain name registrar in the world and one of the largest hosting companies, GoDaddy wields a great deal of influence, and it is good to see the CEO take a stand on this important issue that has an impact on all Internet users.

I found Mr. Irving’s letter to be well-written, and he made some exceptional points in it. I wish we would see other domain industry companies taking a public stand like this because the issue of Net Neutrality impacts all Internet users.
I am somewhat surprised that
Heritage Auctions recently entered the domain name auction business, and in that period of time, the company has reportedly “sold over $4,000,000 of domain names in the first year.” I received an email from HA today announcing that the company is now offering private domain name brokerage services. In light of this, I will add the company to my list of domain name brokers.
Here is what the company had to say about the new brokerage service offering:
I saw a Google Alert for a domain industry job opportunity, and I want to share some additional advertised job openings that I found today via LinkedIn. For some of these openings, the job has nothing really to do with domain names, and for other jobs, I am sure domain industry experience would be appreciated, if not required.
If I missed any openings that should be shared, please drop me a note or share a link in the comment section. There are plenty of opportunities in the domain space, even for people who don’t want to invest in domain names full time. Here are a few of those opportunities:
