LJA.com Sells via Uniregistry

The LJA.com domain name has sold, according to my morning DomainTools email update. Prior to the sale, the domain name was owned by Future Media Architects (FMA). The domain name is now registered to a Texas company called LJA Engineering & Surveying, Inc.

After seeing the Whois change, I reached out to Jeff Gabriel from Uniregistry, as I know the company has represented FMA on the sale of some of its domain names (such as Kiwi.com). Jeff confirmed that Uniregistry brokered the deal, but he could not share the purchase price for the domain name. “We can confirm a sale occurred, however our client wished it remain confidential,” Jeff told me via email.

My guess is that this was a

Any consumer or small business who wants to connect with their community to tell their story, build their brand or sell something. Most small businesses today are frustrated by the amount of time and money they have to invest in creating websites and then connecting with their customers and networks.

Perfect Usage of a .Christmas Domain

There are a few new domain name extensions I don’t totally understand. Among them is .Christmas, a domain name extension operated by Uniregistry. I didn’t really understand why people would buy a domain name based on a holiday. This morning, my perspective changed a bit.

Michele Neylon, CEO of Blacknight Internet Solutions, sent his annual Christmas card/email this morning. In the email, he referenced his online Christmas card, which can be found at Michele.christmas (previously WhiteChristmas.me). When I received that, .Christmas clicked for me.

During the past week or so, my wife and I have received a ton of Christmas and holiday postcards from friends and family. We’ve always been a bit slow with cards like this, and most of the time it doesn’t end up happening. It gets to the final days and we can either do a last minute card and pay extra for speedy shipping, or we can just skip it like usual. With a .Christmas domain name, it is faster to setup and less expensive than mailing a holiday card, especially when compared to postage. We can also

My graduate degree is in Direct & Interactive Marketing, and one of the things we were taught is to test everything. Direct marketers test the offer, the design of marketing materials, and the content within the marketing materials. In my opinion, testing is very important.

This morning, I stumbled upon a new Uniregistry landing page that I thought I would share. I don’t visit many parked pages, but I was searching for domain names  and I noticed  what appears to be a new Uniregistry landing page design:

As you can see, the colors are much darker than the current “mountains” landing page. I shared an image of one of my parked pages so you can see how it currently looks:
