Is this specifically for the Canadian market - or no?

That’s one of the scariest things I’ve ever heard of! I cannot believe that a registry themselves wouldn’t enforce an epp code reset after every successful transfer. In fact that’s the reason I insist on a full transfer over a push when buying a domain, I don’t want the old auth code to still...

Or if you use a registrar such as @bmetal - I'd just email their support and they'd take care of it. It's not rocket science, its just two fields... domain & authcode, as well as the registrant profile you want to apply to the whole lot. And I could send it to baremetal in literally any format...

This is my guess of how that went down: Head of Marketing: (quietly hoovers up a pile of Fifty5Blue.{TLDs}, then strolls over with a cup of tea) I say, old boy, would you mind terribly registering the matching TLD domains for our splendid new company name before the whole thing leaks and the...

that's around 1 deadbeat buyer a week. I've gotta wonder how many repeat deadbeats there are in that list.

Yep, that's a pretty horrible statement to make - but remember who this service is being marketed to. That line will probably get them a lot of foolish customers to spend money with them.

I don't tend to have a problem with them. Yes, they are strict about KYC rules, and yes, that can slow things down. If it is your first transaction with them, it feels extra annoying. But if you go into it knowing it will be slow, then you can rest easy and know your money is coming and that...

its a legit issue - I'd rather trust one company and not a bunch of them. I'm negotiating with a broker at sedo right now and I'm kinda hoping the sale falls through so I can just put a BIN with an escrow.com buy-now button and maybe the buyer will complete it without the sedo commission. I...

Thanks, great info, and yes, I want real relevant sites to link to mine, so I would certainly be looking for expiring domains relating to my niche. Then rebuilding the old site as much as possible, I guess you could call it a zombie website, then after it recovers some trust with google, then...

Thanks, I'll check it out. It's less about buying/selling them, more about how to put them to good use and what to expect. Oh, and how to know if they're any good - so what is the gold standard data source for determining if a backlink domain I'm wanting to buy from a guy like that is actually...

There's all this craziness over backlink domains lately, so I'm guessing it must be working for these buyers. I'm planning to launch my own side project, not domain related or casino related or anything. But I'm wondering if I should be keeping my eye open for this particular niche traffic...

completely unrelated but, @MapleDots - nice work on "cleaning" things up quickly, lol. No chance for the dust to settle, haha.

I think its never been more important for any business serving Canadian customers to clearly show they are Canadian, so .CA is more than "just fine" - its nearly mandatory. Even if you're lucky enough to score the .com equivalent, the .ca should be forward facing for Canadian customers. Of...

Yes, a routine is important when you have a big portfolio. 1. Every couple months, consolidate all your domains to one registrar. I don't care if you just bought it and have 10 months left. You bought it for the long-haul, so just pony up the extra fee and do it now and then you won't have to...
