.Country Could Get Boost from Academy of Country Music

December 13, 2014

Yesterday afternoon, Susan Lawrence of Minds & Machines shared some news that could provide a boost for the new .Country domain names. According to an article that was published on MusicRow, the .Country new gTLD extension has some early adopters that might help drive awareness of the new .Country domain names. Awareness is a critical aspect in generating new registrations of the domain names.

As Frank Schilling announced via Twitter this afternoon, Amazon is now using the Amazon.BlackFriday domain name. .BlackFriday is a new gTLD extension that is operated by Uniregistry.

The company is not using it as a standalone website, but they are forwarding the domain name to a 2014 Black Friday deals landing page within the Amazon.com website. I would not be surprised if the company is using Amazon.BlackFriday in marketing materials.

Uniregistry now gives (and accepts) #TopCoin For registrations today and for renewals and transfers tomorrow! Buy premiums with TPC soon 🙂

— Frank Schilling (@Frank_Schilling) November 12, 2014

According to a tweet from Uniregistry founder Frank Schilling, Uniregistry is now accepting Topcoin to pay for domain registrations across all extensions. By the end of the day today, Topcoin can also be used for inbound domain transfers and renewals across all extensions. I was told company will soon accept the cryptocurrency to pay for premium domain names offered by the registry, such as registry reserved .Link, .Help, .Property and other domain names.

I was told “Uniregistry customers receive 50% of their purchase in topcoin at no additional charge when they buy, transfer or renew a domain name. They can redeem 20-35% of registration, transfer or renewal purchases in Topcoin. Early in the new year you will be able to redeem up to 100% of premium domain name purchases in Topcoin.”

Topcoin (TPC) is a cryptocurrency that

.Click to Launch Without Registry Reserved Domain Names

Uniregistry is set to launch the .Click new gTLD domain extension on November 25, and unlike most other new domain extensions, the only reserved domain names will be those on the ICANN APD block list. Aside from the nearly 8,000 strings prohibited from being registered by ICANN, everything will be available to the public on a first come, first served basis. I understand that the vast majority of the 8,000 registry reserve names have no commercial value, but are reserved for technical reasons, so there should be plenty of top keyword domain names available to register from the outset.

According to Uniregistry founder and CEO Frank Schilling, North Sound Domains will not be competing with other domain registrants for .Click domain names when they become available to purchase. He did tell me that “about 4 weeks after launch we have a large list of premiums that we may or may not register as registry assets for the future.” Since .Click domain names will be available to the first registrants to buy them, there will not be registry / registrar auctions for .Click domain names.

Easily Delete Unregistered Domain Names from DNS Account

General Domain Information

I use Domain Name Sales as a domain name lead management tool, in addition to the parking platform. One issue I run into is deleting domain names from my account after they expire. With all the marketing emails from my registrars, I don’t know exactly when they expire, and I don’t generally track my expired names as closely as I should.

If I do not delete the expired domain names from my account, they will still be syndicated for sale on the DNS platform and partners like DomainTools. One concern I have is that I could accidentally sell a domain name that I no longer own. It’s a good practice to double check the Whois before negotiating, but that wouldn’t be applicable for domain names that have BIN prices, and checking the Whois on a domain name is one of those things that can be overlooked in the excitement of negotiating a deal.

This morning, I found a pretty easy solution to the issue, and it

Some Thoughts About TRAFFIC Awards

TRAFFIC

Following the TRAFFIC conference awards, I had a brief discussion with a couple of friends about the voting process. The genesis of the discussion was that some nominees reached out to friends, clients, and others to ask for their support for the awards.

I think this year’s TRAFFIC Award voting process was improved from prior years, and it seems to be a fair way to conduct voting. Some people may have opined that it doesn’t seem like a total industry award because you have to be on the TRAFFIC email list to nominate, but I believe anyone can sign up to be on the list. I think it’s smart to do it this way because it cuts down on fraud and lessens the chance that someone can stuff the ballot box. I think having a third party, Escrow.com in this case, review the votes (just like the Domainers Choice Awards used a third party service, too) was also a smart idea.

Some people may feel like industry awards

Atom is a better rebrand than Dan was. Most people don't know what Dan stands for.
