DNW Podcast #586: Acquiring and building TLDs

How ShortDot, which didn’t apply for any domains in the last round, became a big fresh TLD operator.

Top level domain firm ShortDot didn’t apply for any top level domains in the 2012 round, but it later purchased TLDs and has grown its portfolio to millions of second level registrations.

On today’s show, ShortDot CEO Lars Jensen explains why ShortDot was founded and how it has grown its registrations. He also talks regarding his expectations for the next round, in which ShortDot will likely be among the larger applicants.
