NamesCon Online is a virtual event this year, taking the place of the NamesCon Europe conference that can not be held due to the pandemic. The conference will be held next week, beginning September 9 and running through September 11. The cost to attend is $59 (plus the Eventbrite fee).
Are you thinking about virtually attending your first NamesCon conference next week? NamesCon is offering free conference passes to people who have not attended NamesCon before.
For the first time I can recall, there was a .IO domain name in auction at Park.IO that I was interested enough in buying that I was willing to pay 4 figures to buy it. The auction ended on Sunday, and I was a loser, despite bidding more than $1,000 for the domain name.
I shared this on Twitter, as I think it is important to show people I am not solely interested in buying .com domain names:
Thought I was going to win my first .IO domain name in auction yesterday at @io_domains. I bid over $1k but lost. Maybe next time.

The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) is preparing for the launch of the .CPA domain name extension. There will be a number of requirements for accountants and accounting firms to obtain and use a matching .CPA domain name.
This morning, the Journal of Accountancy published an article with details about .CPA domain names and the launch of the .CPA extension. From what I understand, the .CPA extension will be marketed as an enhanced way for CPAs and accounting firms to increase trust and security while promoting their brands online.
Jen Sale from Evergreen.com had a fun idea this evening that I haven’t seen before on Twitter:
It’s no secret…
So, tweet me the best domain name that you own and I will match it to an EARTH-SHATTERING* GIF!

Go ahead and tell her your best domain name, and she will find a fun or funny Twitter gif to match.
Peter Askew has done well with VidaliaOnions.com, building a successful e-commerce website selling Vidalia onions after winning the domain name in an expiry auction. As a customer, I like how easy VidaliaOnions.com is to use and buy onions, and as a colleague, I appreciate how much effort went into building and launching this successful website and business.
As part of GoDaddy’s keynote presentation at this year’s NamesCon Global conference, GoDaddy visited the farm where VidaliaOnions.com sources its onions. They spent the day with Peter and farmer Aries Haygood to learn about the business operations and growth of the vidalia onion business.
The video can be found embedded in the GoDaddy tweet below:
