The company Promotions.com is the company who handles the [...]

I tried visiting Snapnames.com several times this morning and I was getting a server error and the page would not load. I just tried again and now get a screen from Oversee.net that states SnapNames is down for Scheduled Maintenance.

Profits and Commissions During Domain Auctions
I was thinking yesterday who the real winners are during live domain auction events and in some cases, it’s the auction service who is the real winner.
Consider these couple of things.
Domainers seem to sell domain names within the domaining circle. This is not good, but it happens a lot. A lot of the domains in [...]

Domain Speculation: Reseller Value Just Doesn’t Exist in the Long Run
It’s funny when I see the same domain name listed on the forums about 7 times in a given year by different sellers. People talk about purchasing a name and then flipping it to a reseller for reseller value, but is there really such thing as reseller value? What exactly is reseller value? Well, I [...]
