French domain investor and entrepreneur, Francois Carrillo, created the most important news aggregator portal in the domain industry: Domaining.com.

The domain was registered in 1997 and around 2006 it was acquired by Francois from its previous registrant. On or around November 3, 2007, Domaining.com began to list domain-centric blogs that existed at the time. Here’s an Archive.org grab from that important date!

Registrar should acquire it.

;) @FM
WHC.ca should acquire it.
I've looked at this before I worked at WHC and while I like the site and have some ideas for it, it's difficult to get to a deal here.

François invested a significant of time and money into the site that I think he's unlikely to get back. One reason is that it's built on a windows server, a Technology I would neither want to continue to run nor maintain it like this.

Sorry for delayed responses, I'm on vacation.
 
I’m sure he wants a significant amount for it. Also he’s not the easiest person to deal with when negotiating due to the language barrier.

I tried to list DN.ca, agreed to his price but could not understand how the feed worked.

I asked him to explain how to get on the feed and he went radio silent. I guess it saved me a lot of money.
 
I find he operates in his own unique way. I remember once having my forum listed somewhere and I reciprocated with his page also. During an update it must have disappeared. He was so quick to remove me. Then it was like pulling teeth to have it relisted. I realized it’s just easier not to deal with someone like that. Although; I did sell him a domain once.
 
It'd be hard to monetize it further

What he won't say publicly is that a lot of people on his feed list are grandfathered in and have never paid the listing fee. It is only a select few on the list who actually paid up so his monetization is not the best.

News feeds

The last real sponsors he had was Paradise Trippies and the graphics ads were so intense I had to block them with the ad blocker because they were huge on the top, sides and bottom with the same ad.
