• .co.uk names are still good investments. At least they don’t eat you up in renewal fees

  After a post like last weeks’, where I spoke on .ie and their restrictions, you may be thinking that it is too hard to get involved in ccTLD investing. Trust me, I know it’s easier to just stick with .com but I have seen huge rewards from going global. It’s a little harder  to get [...]

  Morning Folks! The Domain Industry is expanding by leaps and bounds. It is expanding to every corner of the world and every corner of every industry and business. With 500 new TLD’s it will likely change the face of domaining in a way few have thought about or imagined.

  It was an interesting day for me yesterday as the traffic for one of my domains suddenly went haywire following some nice search engine ranking on Microsoft Live.Who'd have thought it?This partcular site always did well with Google, so why should Live suddenly make a difference?Personally, I have no idea. But I saw traffic go from around 30-40 per day unique visitors to way past the 6000 mark yest…

• Turning Development Dreams Into Reality

  How much longer can domainers ignore development?I have been playing at development to date, yet the sites I've turned into mini-businesses have done spectacularly well for me. I'm not sure whether it's all down to the domain names either, if I'm perfectly honest.As I mentioned in my last post here, I'm currently working with a team in India that I hope will deliver me a great new site.The initial…

• Outsourcing Domain Development Revisited

  Although I do most of my site development myself, using XSitePro2 or Dreamweaver, there are times when it's necessary to outsource.Today I have awarded a $2000 contract to develop one of my sites to an established firm overseas. I'll show the site when it's done. I expect it to take 35 days. We'll see.In the past, I've had mixed experiences with this approach. One developer (php/MySql) I used orig…

• Personality Profile - what's that got to do with domains?

  When I first bought the name personalityprofile.co.uk, it was because I had qualified to conduct personality profiling.I thought at the time that it would be useful in my recruitment business, but as it transpires, I lost interest in the subject entirely.It was only when I was browsing through my portfolio this morning, looking for another recruitment oriented name to develop, that I discovered it…

  I registered a new domain name this morning. To be honest, I was very surprised that it was available, but that's domaining for you.The newest addition to my portfolio is SalesRecruiter.co.uk.Given that there are many specialist sales recruitment firms in the UK, the domain name already has resale value.Probably not fantastic value, but it's generic and describes an entire recruitment niche, just…
