A couple of weeks ago, Afternic hinted that it would soon be launching a new domain name marketplace on the ultra generic DomainNames.com domain name. The launch was today, and the DomainNames.com platform marketplace was introduced for the first time:

At a quick glance, the marketplace appears to be stocked with some top quality inventory from the start. Domain names like Harmony.com, Natural.com, FL.com, Invitation.com, Encourage.com, Bankroll.com, and others are exceptional and must be in high demand. Each listing has its own logo, and there is an informational landing page with some suggested uses for each domain name.

A UDRP was filed at the National Arbitration Forum against the Sparc.Energy domain name, which was acquired in an expiry auction this past May for $262.17. In a decision that I think could have gone either way, the three member UDRP panel ruled in favor of the domain investor who owned the domain name. The domain name was successfully defended by attorney Jason Schaeffer of ESQWire.com.

The complainant, Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS), uses the term “SPARC” for a fusion energy project, and it has a US trademark for the term. CFS pointed to the website on the sparc.energy domain name, which featured fusion-energy news and included stories about CFS. It tried to convince the panel that “registering a domain name primarily for the purpose of reselling it for profit is evidence of bad faith registration.”

Owning your first name last name .com domain name is a flex for some people. It can make it easier for people to find you online, and it allows you to own your exact identity online. For people who are in a business selling their own services like domain brokers, consultants, or attorneys, having your first / last .com domain name is akin to a brand matching domain name.

I don’t own my first/last name .com, but I made sure I bought the matching domain names for my kids, and an industry colleague acquired my wife’s and gifted it when we got married.
