NamesCon Europe 2021 had been tentatively planned for the Summer, with the hope the conference could be held in Hungary if the trajectory of the Covid pandemic changed. While things seem to be improving in some places, it is still not safe enough to hold an in-person conference.
This morning, NamesCon organizers announced the Europe conference has been cancelled for 2021. Here’s the announcement I received a short while ago:
GoDaddy Corporate Domains (GCD) is looking to hire a Senior Client Success Manager. This position would be well suited for someone who has domain industry experience and expertise, particularly for someone who has worked with corporate clients. In essence, the Sr. Client Success Manager position seems to be similar to the role of a Sr. Account Executive or Sr. Account Manager.
The company would like to hire someone with domain industry experience. Here’s an excerpt from the job listing regarding domain industry experience:
At the end of last year, I reported the sale of Blade.com. The domain name was acquired by the aviation company that operates under the Blade branding. The domain name was sold by Anything.com, a company that owns a portfolio of exceptional domain name assets. The timing for the acquisition made sense because the company is planning to go public via SPAC merger, according to an article on the NASDAQ website.

Over the past few months, I have spent more time using ExpiredDomains.net for finding domain names. I use the site pretty much every morning to supplement the various lists of upcoming domain name auctions I review. I also use the site to look for new listings on different domain name sales platforms and marketplaces.
One thing I recently discovered is the “watchlist” feature. Next to each domain name row, there is an unfilled star that can be clicked to add individual domain names to my watchlist. I can then click on the Watchlist button and the domain names I have starred will appear on the list.
Over the years, Rick Schwartz has written about his sale of Candy.com many times on RicksBlog.com and Twitter. Rick famously sold the domain name to an up and coming candy company, and he retained an ownership stake in the business. From what I understand, the domain name was an important part of the company’s growth, but it has become less integral to its current success.
