A week and a half ago, I shared a bit of sales data about my business from that week. I do not really share any domain sales info or data for a number of reasons, but given the challenging times we find ourselves in, I wanted to share what I observed in my own portfolio. During that week, I closed five end user sales, which is quite a few considering that my domain portfolio has roughly 1,000 domain names in it.

With another week in the books, I want to provide a follow-up to that article to share my domain sales results and observations from last week.

It looks like the super high value All.com domain name has changed hands. Whois records show that All.com transferred from Name.com to the corporate domain registrar CSC, and All.com is now owned by multinational hospitality company, Accor S.A. Accor owns high end popular hotel brands such as Fairmont, Raffles, Delano, SLS, Sofitel, and many others.

The acquisition of All.com was first mentioned by Jamie Zoch in a tweet this morning:

For the last couple of years, I have really cut back on my outbound marketing efforts to sell domain names. I would say that I probably target a handful of domain names a month to try and sell via outbound marketing emails, but it hasn’t been much. That being said, I have pretty much stopped doing outbound marketing to sell my domain names in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, with one exception.

The only time I have done outbound marketing in the last few weeks was after receiving an acceptable opening offer for one of my domain names. The offer was not high enough to accept right away, but I also did not want to lose the offer in the event that other buyers were not interested in making a better offer.

As part of the CARES Act passed into law in the United States, some small businesses will be eligible for Paycheck Protection Loans as part of the Paycheck Protection Program. From the little I understand about the program, US-based small business owners can apply for a Paycheck Protection Loan through participating lenders, and the loan will cover payroll and various expenses for a set period of time.
