As you know, the United States held its Presidential election yesterday, and Donald Trump won the election. In addition to this win, the Republican party will regain control over the US Senate as well. I am hopeful the new administration and its business policies will be good for domain investors and their domain investments.

One of the things Donald Trump did during this election cycle is reach out to the cryptocurrency community. I think he will continue to embrace that space and there could be growth there. From my perspective, the domain investment space tends to thrive as capital is spent building crypto-related services and products. Continued development and maturity in the crypto space should be good for domain investments.

A colleague emailed to ask me why I am not working with a specific landing page service he has been using. I neither have enough domain names to really give a company a fair shot, nor do I have the desire to set up many accounts at different platforms, giving access to private data to many companies.

The first issue is the primary issue. If I set up an account at a new landing page or parking service and only test 50 domain names, there’s a pretty good chance there will be very minimal impact – either positive or negative. Is that the fault of the service provider? No, of course not. I can’t pass judgment on the performance of a company with a limited number of domain names for a limited amount of time. If the service sucks or is bonkers, I won’t know if it’s the service, the names, seasonality, or a multitude of other factors beyond their control. It would be silly to test out a whole bunch of services when I can’t really determine why a test went well or went poorly.
