Registrar Where My Last 10 Afternic Sales Landed

After I sell a domain name, I don’t pay much attention to it. Occasionally, I will look to see how it is being used, but I don’t really follow my sold domain names after they’re sold.

Last month, Namecheap Founder and CEO Richard Kirkendall sounded the alarm that his company would “most likely” leave the Afternic sales network.

With Afternic listings still showing up in the Namecheap registration path, I was curious to see which registrars have been responsible for my most recent 10 Afternic sales. To do so, I did Whois searches on my most recent 10 Afternic sales, not including LTO deals or the a sale I closed using the Afternic checkout link.

DomainLeads Integrated into Dropping.pro Email

One of the paid tools I use daily is the Dropping.pro email alerts. I created 3 alert emails with different parameters, and each morning, I receive 3 emails with domain names coming up for auction that have certain attributes that may make them appealing to me.

Since the launch of DomainLeads.com, I have been copying names from the Dropping.pro emails and doing a bulk search to add another search layer and identify even better targets. I previously wrote about how I have been using DomainLeads.com. Interestingly, I have found myself saving money rather than spending more, but that’s a different story.

When the Best Prospect Goes Under

It feels pretty good when a startup founder wants to buy your domain name. I know the domain name can probably incrementally help the business, and it will likely open some doors or impress some people as they raise capital. Oftentimes, it can be challenging to get that startup to make an acquisition commitment. ‘We’ll be in touch after we close our next round,’ a founder will tell me.

Every once in a while, I will touch base and see if anything has changed. Perhaps the business has gained traction, grown revenue, or the company has realized it is hampered by its current domain name. Sometimes founders will stay in touch, and other times they disappear.

One Month to Go

My wife and I did some traveling and enjoyed the 4th of July holiday weekend with friends. My wife is an incredible runner, and we did a short run together on Friday followed by a longer individual run on Saturday. I can’t hang at her 8 minute/mile pace for 10 miles – nor would I run 10 miles in the humidity.

On Sunday, we were back home and did a 30+ mile bike ride together. It wasn’t super fast, but the purpose of these rides is to get my legs into shape to be able to ride 162 miles over two days in a month from now. The Pan-Mass Challenge is coming up August 3-4.

Quality is Remembered – the Price isn’t

I was driving through town the other day when I saw a landscaping truck with a perceptive quote on the back: “Quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten.” It turns out that this is reportedly a quote from Aldo Gucci of the famed Gucci luxury brand.

I think the same sentiment can be felt towards a domain name acquisition.

Oftentimes, a business will spend more money than it is comfortable spending to acquire the perfect domain name. The expenditure may be significant, and it could impact business operations in the short term. It can take a company time to wrap its collective “head” around the idea of making what could be deemed as a staggering investment in its branding and web presence going forward. In the short term, this can eat a massive chunk of a company’s cash reserves and may be painful.
