When I received my morning email from Dropping.com, OccupyWallStreet.com was the domain name coming up for auction that stood out the most. It looks like OccupyWallStreet.com expired in July, and the GoDaddy auction for it is concluding this afternoon.

The Occupy Wall Street movement was one of the leading news stories back in late 2011 and 2012. Although largely out of the public eye these days, it looks like Occupy Wall Street is still in action. You can see more about Occupy Wall Street and its current events on the OccupyWallSt.org website.

According to Archive.org, it looks like OccupyWallStreet.com was

I received an email from my account manager at GoDaddy about a price increase on .org domain names. I don’t think I own more than a few .org domain names, but I wanted to pass information about this price increase along to readers who may own their own .org domain names.

In short, the price of .org domain name is going up by $2 on August 1st. Domain names impacted by the price increase can be registered, renewed, or transferred in advance of the price increase in order to avoid paying more once the increase goes into effect.

Other registrars may charge  increase their pricing by more (or less) than $2, so what I am sharing only applies to domain names registered at GoDaddy:

In my morning DomainTools Registrant Alert email, I noticed that GoDaddy’s NameFind likely sold Delaware.com. A current Whois record  shows that the new registrant of Delaware.com is The Delaware Company House LLC. The Delaware.com domain name is not yet resolving.

Knowing that GoDaddy does not tend to report sale prices from its NameFind portfolio, my assumption is that the purchase price of Delaware.com will remain private. If I were to guess, I would say this was a 6 or potentially a 7 figure acquisition, again, assuming the domain name was sold.

Back in April,

I am sure it is exciting for some sellers to learn that their domain names were sold on one of the popular domain name sales marketplaces. According to GoDaddy’s Joe Styler, there is a phishing email making the rounds that tries to confuse the recipient into thinking their domain name was sold via GoDaddy.

Joe shared the following warning this morning  on NamePros:
