Earlier this evening, GoDaddy hosted a Google+ Hangout to discuss buying domain names on the company’s aftermarket. GoDaddy’s Joe Styler and Brian Cowen participated in the Hangout, and the video of the Hangout has been posted below for your viewing.

The primary topics of this Hangout were to discuss buying valuable domain names via the GoDaddy aftermarket. Specifically, the duo discussed:

• What makes up the GoDaddy aftermarket
• What makes a domain name valuable
• Live domain name valuations / appraisals

People posed questions and domain names were submitted for a live off the cuff valuation. If you didn’t have a chance to watch or participate live in the GoDaddy Google Plus hangout and you want to ask some questions, you are welcome to submit them below. I will let Joe Styler know there are questions if that is the case, and hopefully he will be able to find the time to answer them.

Here’s the video of tonight’s GoDaddy Aftermarket Hangout:

GoDaddy will be holding a Google Plus Hangout to discuss buying domain names on the company’s aftermarket platform. The event will be held on the company’s Google+ page on October 2, and it will begin at 7pm and last for one hour. There is no cost to attend the event, and the event is open to anyone interested in learning more about GoDaddy aftermarket domain name acquisitions.

Leading this event will be Joe Styler, Aftermarket Product Manager at GoDaddy, and Brian Cowen, Lead Domain Broker at GoDaddy.

Participants can submit questions to be answered during the hangout. It also looks like people can submit questions or comments in advance, and I assume those might be addressed during the event.

I have found that some people get confused about the various

In a press release today, GoDaddy announced that the company has launched a new marketing and advertising campaign. As part of this new campaign, the company also released two new television commercials, which I have embedded below for you to watch.

I think the majority of domain name buyers and inquirers know about GoDaddy, and many of them likely look to GoDaddy for information about buying domain names. Because of this, I think it is important for people that invest in domain names to know how GoDaddy is promoting itself and domain names in general.

I think the commercials are humorous, and I particularly like the “Related” commercial. As you will see, the largest domain registrar in the world is less focused on selling domain names and the company is primarily focused selling small businesses on complete website package. As you will see, there is no mention of domain name extensions – not even in the example website logos. Interestingly, if you visit the two company names in .com (RevereAccounting.com and DapperJr.com), you’re taken directly to the GoDaddy home page.

Have a look at the two television commercials below and let me know what you think of them by sharing your feedback:

Business Standard is billed as “India’s leading business daily,” and the website published an article about GoDaddy and how the company is making the Indian market a priority. This isn’t a surprise considering India’s huge population and the fact that there is reportedly a small percentage of Internet penetration.

At the DomainX domain conference that was held in Hyderabad, India over the weekend, GoDaddy Vice President and Managing Director, Rajiv Sodhi, shared some comments about the domain name space in India. Sodhi also commented about
