Maybe look at Domoro Domains, but I am NOT recommending them or vouching for them, DYOR for sure!

Yup, I am still on the hunt. Thank you to everyone from DN.ca who sent over inventory last week.

Love this addition to one of my fave tools.

One thing Dynadot is guilty of here is fumbling their response to this matter, which is unfortunate because my impression (based on my dealings with them over the years) is they are good and ethical people. At least they did respond, eventually, but I would not give them top marks for how they...

My buyer clients, that's who. ;+) I estimate that 75% of my clients, who are end-user buyers (VCs, serial startup founders, marketing execs) want to buy and brand around English (or other language, such as German or Spanish) one-word .com (or .ai, .co, .io, and sometimes .ca) domains. They often...

Some of you older folks will remember a super useful tool from the usenet newsgroup days: a bozo filter ... perhaps that is what Spaceship deployed here, lol.

If DN.ca merged with NamePros, I would probably not stick around. I love the Canadian focus here. I rarely spend time on NamePros, very little content of quality over there, is flooded with amateurs offering bad advice to other amateurs.

Not sure how specific to domain biz you want to customize the CRM, but I've been a happy customer of LessAnnoyingCRM.com for about 10 years now. My team at Name Ninja uses it to track project leads and projects. You can try it out for free. My fave thing about it is that it is easily...

@MapleDots is there a way to search the member directory to find members by city, such as Ottawa?

re: Ottawa, other than me and @Ilze, I don't think there are many domain industry folks in Ottawa, and I suspect Ilze is back in Florida now. Anyone else here in Ottawa or plan to be on October 16/17 and want to meet up?

Be careful responding to supposed 'buy' requests from parties you are not familiar with. Sometimes those 'buyers' or 'brokers' are going to try to front run your domain without your knowledge or permission. Or they are simply doing engagement farming with no intent to buy. I am not saying that...

I recommend you have a conversation with Mauli. She's a straight shooter. She used to work at Escrow.com, was one of the best folks working there.

I use Wise to pay one of my freelancers. It costs me (and her) $0 to send a weekly payment to her, and the money is in her account within 10 seconds, and it takes me about that long to set up the transaction since the Wise UI is very slick. I used to use PayPal for this, and realized it was...

legionnaires.ca reminds me of a certain closing night party at DomainFest in Los Angeles many years ago. #IYKYK Here's a news story about it from 2011, which I had not seen before, and yes, I was at the party, and yes I got sick as well:

I've been brokering the purchase of social media handles for 19 years now for clients. First one I brokered was a Twitter handle that matched a Canadian city's name. To do it safely (so the handle does not get clawed back or suspended or banned) requires a great deal of expertise and close ties...
