On Friday, GoDaddy (via Afternic) announced it would allow sellers to offer Lease to Own (LTO) transactions for up to $5 million. Since inception, GoDaddy has capped the maximum LTO deal at $100,000, so this extension offers greater flexibility to domain name sellers.

By all accounts that I’ve heard, the ICA meeting last week was a big success. Thanks to the efforts of Kamila, Tiffany, and the ICA board, the ICA pulled off another well-attended event in Las Vegas.

One of the things I enjoy doing is creating lists of domain names to search and register. In years past, I primarily used keyword lists from various websites along with the concatenate function in Excel.

More recently, I’ve been entrusting this to AI tools like ChatGPT and Grok. To come up with domain name lists to search, I would enter a prompt that is something along the lines of this:
