Hello everyone. Well, there are times when we would very much like to own a "premium" domain which has been registered but up for sale! It is like a "dream" domain for you where you just couldn't stop thinking of owning the name!:p

However, to your surprise, that particular domain listed for sale is tag with some "high sky" price which you just couldn't afford!:eek: In this situation, instead of trying to negotiate your "ideal" price with the current owner, would you engage "domain brokerage service" and have them negotiate the "best" price for you??

Hi it's me again! Ok, although I have yet to really succeed in selling domain for a good nice price, I heard that it woul dbe advisable to engage an Escrow Service if the amount get large. This is to protect both the seller and buyer from potential fraud and scam.

So, anyone has experience in using Escrow Service while selling or buying domain? or you would just prefer direct dealing based on trust?

I read that with the enormous popularity of blog domains that the next thing will be to have a .wiki domain which will be much like wikipedia in that it is completely interactive.

Has anyone explored these .wiki registrations yet?

Would like to conduct a survey to know if you guys would register both singular and plural for your domain(s)? Well, it is not uncommon practice that some domainers do catch and register the plural version if they couldn't get the singular domain. Could this might due to the potential opportunity to snatch some traffic for the singular domain version.

How do you actually see the potential of plural version for a domain?

Hi. I would like to seek for some kind sharing if anyone here had experience using those professional appraisal service before. Although I own several domains, but I have yet to engage any appraisal service before, let alone selling my domains...well I just keep them until anyone interested initiate the contact.

Despite hearing the famous SEDO appraisal service, I have yet to actually give it a shot due to the charges is not cheap. So, are there any good alternatives apart from getting appraised by peers?

Also, I understand that godaddy do provide this service too, just wondering if they are good in this area?

Ok buddies, we are well aware that godday in currently topping the first position as the fastest growing domain registrar worldwide. This is despite that they are not having the best price for domain registration!

Apart from godaddy, we also know that ENOW, TUSCOW are the major player in domain registration business. So what about other registrars like :-
1. Registerfly
2. Moniker
3. 1&1
4. NameKing
5. Fabulous

Also, I wonder how those web hosting + domain registrar catch up with the above giant players? Or they just do it as "add-on" service and don't really pay much attention about the sub-income??:eek:

Out of curiousity, which are countries would you think purchase the most domain names in term of number of domains? I believe US is most likely ranked at the top position, with UK follwing at 2nd place.

What's your guess?:p

note:- admin, could you kindly help to add "n" in the word "coutry"? I missed it out..sorry!

Hello, wonder if anyone come across phising activities on fraudulent sites which are displaying "recognizable" domain names? Beofre this, numerical IP address were use for phishing activities, now it seems that those people are moving toward using domain names in their spoof activities.

As a surfer, it appear less suspicious if a site is displaying a recognizable domain name versus numerical IP address. Well, when we do see numerical IP display in browser, we will definitely be much alert. But what about domain name?? Would you be less alert and not suspicious if you were to reach a site that display a domain in your broswer??

Hi everyone here. I noticed that is has become a common practice for big business entity to just register a whole series of major TLD (.com, .net, .biz, .org, .info ) when they wanted to register a domain name. This will help to sort of protect the business branding if they are going to use the said domain for ecommerce activities.

However, as individual domainer, would you also be doing the same? i.e. if your want to register a domain "mysite", would you also register :-
1. mysite.com
2. mysite.org
3. mysite.biz
4. mysite.net
5. mysite.info

Or you would just register some of it?
