by — Podcasts 3 Comments

A tool to find one-word domains and thoughts about the state of the domain business.

This week I have a guest interview and some thoughts about the domain industry. For the guest segment, I speak with Steven Tey, a student who created OneWord.Domains to help people discover one-word domains that are available for registration. In addition to speaking with Steven, I give my take on the current state of the domain market, discuss domain name liquidation platforms, and share my frustrations with GoDaddy.

by — Podcasts 0 Comments

From running a registrar to .au to .film.

My guest this week is Adrian Kinderis. Adrian has been in the domain business for a couple of decades and started by founding a domain registrar. This snowballed into operating the .au domain. On today’s show, Adrian recounts his history in the business and discusses his new top level domain .film. He is candid about the struggles of getting studios to adopt the domain, but also explains how it’s a good business. There are some valuable takeaways as ICANN inches toward its next round of top level domain expansion.

Domains at the Supreme Court – DNW Podcast #285

by — Podcasts 14 Comments

SCOTUS debates domain names and trademarks.

There was a spotlight on domain names last week in a place where you wouldn’t expect it: The U.S. Supreme Court. The court heard oral arguments in a dispute over whether or not Booking.com should be able to trademark booking.com. It was fascinating to listen to the court drill both sides in the issue. On today’s show, Internet Commerce Association general counsel Zak Muscovitch and I discuss the hearing and the role the ICA might play in the court’s decision. We also talk about ICANN’s decision to block the sale of .org to a private equity company and what it means for the future of ICANN.

Also: Domain registrations soar, GoDaddy reveals acquisition prices, and Brooklyn Nine-Nine jokes about domains.
