.Org dominated the news last month.
November was a busy month in the domain name business, led by a planned takeover of the .Org registry. I’ve grouped many of the .org-related articles into one on the top 5 posts list. Here’s the full roundup of what got the most views on Domain Name Wire last month:
1. Private equity company to acquire .Org – There are a lot of connections to ICANN including its former CEO. Ethos is buying a money printing press and many groups aren’t happy about it.
2. Why this weird domain sold for so much money – You have to understand Chinese to understand this domain name.
3. Kit.com is losing its domain name, switching to Kit.co – The woes of a domain name lease.
4. All domain investors should read this analysis – I can’t take credit for it.
5. Tucows exits its domain name portfolio – Citing changes in domain name monetization and the domain aftermarket, Tucows sells off its portfolio.
