On September 1, 2023 – two weeks from now – the wholesale price of .com domain names is going to increase to $9.59/year. Verisign operates the .com registry, and the annual price is going to increase by 7%, according to a report about Verisign by Zacks Investment Research appearing on Yahoo Finance:

“The company plans to increase the annual registry-level wholesale fee for each new and renewal .com domain name registration from $8.97 to $9.59, with effect from Sep 1, 2023.”

If this sounds familiar, it is because Verisign increased the wholesale price of .com domain names a year ago.

I am not familiar with Corporate Tools, but the company posted a job listing on LinkedIn that might be of interest to someone with domain industry expertise. The Idaho-based company is seeking an Operations Manager for Domain Name Registrar Services. It looks like the person hired for this job may be be able to work remotely – at least for the time being.

While the job responsibilities aren’t domain investing or domain industry specific, it looks like the company wants to hire someone with substantial knowledge about domain names and the industry at-large. Many of the job’s requirements are related to domain industry experience and expertise.

It is dangerous to reuse passwords on different websites. Domain investors who do this can risk their reputation and/or domain names if one website is hacked or if password information is somehow leaked.

The Chief Technology Officer at NamePros issued a warning to domain investors today because of “an increase in credential stuffing attacks targeting domain investors.” Paul offers some good examples of how this can happen, and he also shared some advice on how to prevent it from happening to you.

‘The Domain Name is Not for Sale’

I’ve tried to buy thousands of domain names from registrants who told me some variation of ‘the domain name is not for sale.’ That may be true at that point in time, but the status can change. It doesn’t hurt to follow-up every once in a while.

I recently spent some time looking through hundreds of old emails I sent trying to buy domain names. I followed up on some older leads to re-engage the owners. Perhaps circumstances had changed since our last discussion. I like to follow-up between 6 months and a year after an email exchange, when I see a domain name isn’t being used.
