It’s always nice to see the triple email string at Dan.com notifying me that a domain name was sold on the platform. One of those messages is to ask how I would like to handle the domain name transfer. With most of my domain names registered at GoDaddy, I am given the choice of doing a push to Dan.com’s holding account or sending the authorization code for an outbound transfer.
Loser.com is an infamous domain name that has been used many times for forwarding. In the past, Loser.com has forwarded to Donald Trump’s Wikipedia page, Kanye West’s Wikipedia page, a Republican Voters Against Trump video, and quite a few other websites and landing pages over the years.
It looks like there’s a new redirect on Loser.com. If you visit Loser.com, you will land on the Wikipedia page for Russia President Vladimir Putin. I am not sure how long Loser.com has been redirecting to this Wikipedia page, but I presume it was recently done in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Loser.com is one of the most infamous domain names. So much so, it has its own Wikipedia page chronicling its’ history and usage over the years. Loser.com is registered under Whois privacy, so I do not know the current registrant behind the forwarding.
One of the selling points for a one word .com domain name is email deliverability. What I mean is that many people assume a company called X will be found at X.com, and their associated email addresses will be email@X.com. A company called X that uses X.io or GetX.com will almost certainly lose at least some emails that were accidentally sent to @X.com instead.
Carl Hancock is the CEO of Gravity Forms. His company recently acquired Gravity.com and immediately put it to use. According to a tweet this morning, Carl enabled a “catch-all” email for Gravity.com meaning all email sent to any @Gravity.com email address will end up in an inbox. Here’s what Carl shared about that:
According to an email I received from Lars “LG” Forsberg, Nordic Domain Days is scheduled to be held May 9-10, 2022 at the Clarion Stockholm in Stockholm, Sweden. I believe this will be the first in-person domain industry event in more than two years.
According to the event website, Nordic Domain Days “is where Registries, registrars, resellers, service providers, and investors network and share insights during a packed two-day conference.” The full agenda for the event has not been posted on the website yet but some of the speakers and discussion topics have been announced.
The Gravity.com domain name has been acquired by Gravity Forms, a custom form building platform for WordPress-based websites. The domain name acquisition was announced on the company’s Twitter page yesterday morning:
Excited to announce that we are now the proud owners of the https://t.co/7fnNrsF8w0 domain name. It only took 13 years but it’s finally home. pic.twitter.com/e4pFvIUjMs

I reached out to Carl Hancock, the Founder of Gravity Forms, to ask him about the domain name acquisition.
