FORT Insurance and Gaudreau Assurances Join Forces This was last year, but i had previously sold Gaudreau to the Guadreau company, then as they were merging i sold them Fort as well. Great customer, understands the value and inextricable link between a domain and a brand.

I transferred 100+ domains into namecheap.com - thought I'd try them out since another registrar jacked prices on a particular TLD. A couple weeks later I've double checked to just make sure every domain was in my account and that I was billed correctly. Mysteriously, one domain (although not...

So a couple years ago I did a test at Dan, moved in a bunch of domains, tried putting up BIN prices on some, especially cheap TBR wins that I didn't want to negotiate over, etc... The results were underwhelming, especially when you factor in the commissions. So a year or more ago now, I moved...

Does anyone use (or has previously used) the Amazon Associates (affiliate) Program? If so, I wouldn't mind hitting you up for a quick phone call to hear about your experience with it. I have some generic keyword / product type .ca domains that already make good PPC, but I'm just wondering if...

This is an experiment, on behalf of https://dn.ca/data/avatars/s/0/20.jpg?1656297913@aactive , or more accurately, his wife. This isn't a make an offer situation. The domain will be sold to the highest bidder. Rules: Auction will close on Wed Feb 21 at 15:00 EST / NOON PST. I've chosen this...

Well - its a good start for keyword .coms with commercials for Apartments.com, Booking.com and Homes.com so far.

So I received the following email today (I've removed the domain name) but I happen to own the .CA version and the .COM version (which has whois privacy). While I periodically get emails like this, I typically ignore them, but in this case, I knew I already owned this domain. So watch out...

Ok, so this isn't about CIRA but more of an ICANN issue. Is there any requirement for whois data accuracy by a registrar, and if so, any enforcement? I periodically find some bizarre whois data - here's one I stumbled on today when I was contacted by a spammer using this domain: Domain name...

So - here's the situation. A guy who is trying to broker domains calls me by looking up my home phone # in the whitepages. I've gotten lowball offers from him many times in the past and it has never gone anywhere, so I tend to ignore them. He called me about a domain a couple weeks ago...

So I've got an interesting situation here. I agreed to sell a domain on a payment plan. We agreed that I'd invoice them for each payment period. No NDA was ever discussed. The buyer made the first payment (low 5-figures) and they paid me directly. They've decided to pay the remaining...

Ok, so I just probably sabotaged any sale potential on one of my domains, but I had an inquiry, quoted a price and then got the non-profit baloney response. Here was my response: Hi <firstname>, No problem. No harm in asking a price and I wish you the best of luck. Okay - I can't bite my...

Anyone else having an issue pulling up their bodis landing pages? Someone contacted me today using the CIRA form, which I thought was weird since I the domain had a bodis lander / contact form on it, so when I checked it, it wouldn't load. Then I started checking others and none would load...

Question for anyone who knows, or https://dn.ca/data/avatars/s/0/260.jpg?1671038356@jamesiles : A friend's domain expired two weeks ago and GoDaddy says its like $100 to get her .com back. Is that normal??? She said she'd send me a screenshot of exactly what it says tomorrow.

WestJet to wind down budget airline Swoop, fold it into main operation You may remember it was in TBR during the reserved drop, bought for $2102 at WHC. Glad it wasn't me. Maybe they're making some PPC on it to average the cost down. FlySwoop wasn't the only Swoop game in town, but I'm sure...

I was negotiating with a buyer over one of my domains, but we couldn't agree on price and the buyer went with another domain instead. He then told me what it was, he says he just bought can dot ca for $8600 CAD from Afternic. I'd call that a pretty good deal for the end user. I even told him...

Anyone here sell this domain about a 1.5 years ago?

Question for the forum, any thoughts on what would make the best domain or even type of domain for my field-of-dreams project? (if I build it, will they come???). Something for end users to instinctively get, no acronyms or industry specific terms. So if you could have any domain name you...

Last May 30, I hand registerd somewhere around 1500 domains when CIRA screwed up and released all the unreleased domains. I had been keeping track of all those unreleased domains for years, waiting for that day, only to have it ripped back away by CIRA. In any case, in my exuberance, I also...

So I get the following domain inquiry (see below). Reading it felt weirdly too well written, too perfect punctuation, and saying things that you wouldn't expect a buyer to say. I thought this sounds like it was written by AI. So I go over to ChatGPT and say "write an email inquiring about...

I was researching a traeger smoker because a friend didn't use his, so I borrowed it and was maybe going to buy it from him after I tried it. So I wanted to google how much they go for. Weirdly saw websites selling products (including the smoker) at too-good-to-be-true pricing on products that...

I've made a habit of tracking published domain valuations for my domains, from Godaddy and a handful of others. So when I buy a domain, or when I get an inquiry on a domain, I check them, and keep a record attached to that inquiry. This allows me to see how these valuations change over time...

Got an offer of $1000 on an LLL that is also a popular & meaningful dictionary word, a first name, and a last name, and thus of course used in many existing business names. They claimed this was their best offer and that since I bought it in TBR I should just take the profit. The fact that...

ALERT TO ANY FABULOUS USERS!!! I logged into my account to find that 4 of my domains had expired, even though they were flagged to auto-renew. So I manually renewed them using the CC on file - so obviously it wasn't a problem with my CC. Domains are supposed to be auto-renewed 45 days before...

I just stumbled onto the fact that my oldest domain (a .org) is turning 30 y/o in a few of months, registered on 1993-05-25. My oldest .com is 1995-03-06 My oldest .ca (spider) has a timestamp of 2000-09-22 19:56:53. That's pretty old for a .ca, probably in the oldest 1000 existing .ca's or...

Anyone here want to fess up to selling it? It was a TBR domain last March, won by MyID, it never left MyID (less than a year hold time) and was listed on Dan. It was listed for $10K USD, then it sold. It is possible though that a lower offer was made and accepted, so we can't confirm the $10K...

So this is weird, I noticed a whois record with the EPP status of "clientRenewProhbited". They typo'd the EPP status code? You'd think that wouldn't even be possible, and that CIRA would enforce specific and limited options to select from. So my question is to you registry/registrar types (...

Is anyone else annoyed by WHC's tbr order system? Or is it just me? Sometimes I'll place an early TBR order, simply because its a no-brainer decision for domains I want to be in the auction on. I also don't want to miss out in case I get busy/distracted on a Wednesday morning and don't have...

I just noticed on a new offer that it no longer shows you their IP and country. Anyone else notice? If they've removed that, that sucks. The reasons are mounting to not point domains to Dan landers.

Ok, I didn't think this through obviously when I put some domains on a Dan payment plan option. I sold my first domain using a payment plan via Dan. The BIN price was $5000 and the payment plan results in a total sale price is $6500 over 60 months, so the user gets billed 108.33 and I receive...

The headline is in reference to the old tv show, "What's My Line?" - but this dispute to the Canadian Mike Morgan ends up failing in RDNH fashion, then WIPO really muffs the punt when the CC 50 some different Mike Morgans the results. LOL. I'm sure Mike is getting a good laugh out of this...

FYI, I've been noticing that Bodis is ignoring the keywords I set for advertising and displaying potentially infringing ads. I've also emailed James @ Bodis about it a couple weeks ago but never got a reply. I just sent another email. I'm guessing this is more widespread of an issue rather...

I have a pretty generic contact page lander set up for some of my domains. Lately it's been getting upwards of 20,000 daily form submissions that fail the hidden recaptcha protection. On one hand, the recaptcha works pretty good. On the other hand, it pisses me off as a waste of resources by...

I don't normally do this since I realize this is not the best place to make good end-user sale, but since this is a domain I'm not particularly attached to, lets play with it. So I got an unsolicited offer on the domain Pinks. Their initial bid is $500. Feel free to place your offer. Also...

Usually I find summers slow for sales, and it started off that way. But I've had a slew of them in the past week, including 2 in the low 5 figs and the rest in 4 figs, and nothing below $3K. All direct sales, no commissions, although one was $3K down and a lease-to-own payment plan, which I'm...

FYI, member @aactive has passed away on Sunday night from cancer. He and I have known each other from around 2005 and even ran a business together for a couple of years. He was definitely a good guy and I always enjoyed talking shop with him. He will be missed. I’ll be helping his wife with...

I've never really went for crypto domains - but acquired "crypting" as part of a recent portfolio acquisition. Willing to liquidate it for something in the typical TBR type price ranges. 7 months remaining before expiry. Feel free to make an offer.

Anyone know of a .ca domainer named Mary Cruze? https://dan.com/domain-seller/mary-cruze Just curious, haven't stumbled onto her portfolio before.

Anyone using the supposedly free-for-life GSuite Legacy email accounts? The ones that Google has reneged on, now forcing us to either lose our 16 y/o personal email accounts (that are connected to all our personal online accounts for banking, billing, schooling, medical, utilities, travel, etc...

I've sold a handful of domains on payment plans over the years, but agreed to a new one giving me 3 current monthly payment plans. Of course cash up front is nice, but I don't mind the recurring income, especially if I could get the volume up 10x... It is a slight pain-in-the-ass though...

Lol, got this message yesterday: Its the kind of inquiry my gut instinct says, don't even respond... The domain is a 4 letter word, and after a couple of minutes of research, I see the dude filed a crap load of trademark variations on "XXXX {word}" (where XXXX is the domain). So I decided to...

MapleDots and aactive or any other ecommerce guys, as well as all of the francophones: I'm looking at renewals of some french language type domains, and I'm just curious about your opinions. 1. Do those of you with ecommerce sites have a french language version and if so, do you have a...

I received a 6-fig buy-now transaction notice from escrow.com, started on a .ca domain. The buyer’s email address is from the same sld, but with the .ru ccTLD. I’m just sooo confident that this transaction will go through because, you know, those oligarchs have so much money to throw around...

Anybody notice that CIRA published a .CA INSIGHTS REPORT for Q4 2021? Did you also notice that they have a section where they publish top Aftermarket Sales? Did you also notice that the prices they published are completely wrong? They claimed these sales prices, and named their source as...

The morons were out in force yesterday, but here's the one that stood out: I received an offer on a domain at dan. It started with a $1K offer, negotiated back and forth, we finally agreed to a price in upper 4 figs, and the domain was marked "sold". Since I've never had a dan transaction, I...

I found this hot .ca domain, priced at $2M USD!! Get it on Dan.com before its too late!! https://dan.com/buy-domain/420bets.ca Or.... Just go hand reg it for $11. And on a side note, you can get the .com version for $280. http://420bets.com/

Check this portfolio that I stumbled on today, a guy from Victoria BC. https://dan.com/domain-seller/global-block-branding How would you like to pay that renewal bill? Mostly .coms, but a lot of other tlds in the mix too. Also runs coindomain.com where he lists sales, but clearly not all of...

https://onlinedomain.com/2022/02/03/domain-name-news/spamhaus-most-abused-domain-registrars-q4-2021/ (most fraudulent domain registrations used for botnet / C&C abuse) Note that is because of NameSilo which is apparently Canadian. I'm assuming those are not necessarily .CA domains though.
