As a domain name buyer, one of the toughest replies to respond to is when someone tells me “we need at least $X to sell the domain name.” It makes it seem like the domain registrant is seeking $X for the domain name, but that is not the case. If I increase my offer to $X, there is a strong likelihood they will reject the offer and try to get a better offer. This is probably a good move from their end, but it’s annoying to me as a buyer.
Google posted a job listing that might be of interest to someone with domain name industry experience. The company is looking to hire a Product Management Lead for its gTLD Registry team. The job appears to be based in New York City, San Francisco, or possibly remotely.
Google operates nearly a dozen new gTLD extensions. Two of its most popular and widely used extensions include .App and .Dev. The company also operates .Day, .New, .Page, and a few others. It is possible that Google would be interested in applying for additional extensions once ICANN opens its next round of new gTLD applications or the company could acquire currently operating extensions.
The job description doesn’t give a ton of information about the role, but the responsibility section offers more details about what the person will be responsible for doing. Here’s an excerpt with general details about the job:
A little over a year ago, Hallmark filed a UDRP against the Mahogany.com domain name. Not surprisingly, the domain registrant prevailed in the UDRP and was able to retain the domain name. Though I was expecting to see a finding of Reverse Domain Name Hijacking, the outcome would have been the same.
I just noticed that Mahogany.com is now owned by Hallmark Licensing. Using the Whois History tool at DomainTools, I can see that the domain name appears to have changed hands in August of 2021. Mahogany.com is being used by Hallmark’s Mahogany brand. Prior to the acquisition of the domain name, I believe Hallmark had been using a page within its Hallmark.com website for this brand.
When I win a domain name at NameJet, it usually ends up in a Network Solutions account I control. I don’t keep many domain names at Network Solutions, but I always seem to have a dozen or two domain names there. As a result, I login to my Network Solutions account regularly.
This afternoon when logging in to Network Solutions, I noticed a subtle change in how the website looks. Above the NS logo is a blue banner with a white Web.com logo and a message that says, “Thinking about selling online? Build your eCommerce Site with Web.com.” In addition, underneath the Network Solutions logo is a small tagline that says “Powered by Web.com.” Both companies are owned by Newfold Digital.

Domain investing is a capital intensive business. No matter how much money you have or have access to, you can spend it all acquiring your portfolio of domain names. This fact can make it challenging to grow your personal wealth while building your domain name portfolio.
