How ShortDot, which didn’t apply for any domains in the last round, became a big new TLD operator.
Top level domain company ShortDot didn’t apply for any top level domains in the 2012 round, but it later acquired TLDs and has grown its portfolio to millions of second level registrations.
On today’s show, ShortDot CEO Lars Jensen explains why ShortDot was founded and how it has grown its registrations. He also talks about his expectations for the next round, in which ShortDot will likely be among the larger applicants.

Building TLD strategy: fake it till you make it. Free inserts into accounts, bundles, $0.01 registrations. Pump and dump, starting with going to domain industry events and selling “the new era, the new need, the new opportunity”. Web3-fake-domains will be an even larger scam, shitcoin-like.
