February’s top domain name stories

Here are the top five stories from February on Reglike.

From a botched fresh TLD launch to XYZ’s victory, here are the stories that caught fire in the domain name business last month.

1. Sell more domain names! – DNW Podcast #124 – It’s not often that a podcast is our top story for the month, but Jeff Gabriel’s discussion regarding selling more domain names is proving to be very popular.

2. Delayed.art: .Art domain name launch shuts down over technical difficulties – It seems that one of the technical difficulties is that people were able to register domain names the registry meant to reserve.

3. PayPal increases fees for international transactions – The cost of receiving overseas payments for domain names via PayPal is going up.

4. Breaking: Verisign loses appeal in .XYZ lawsuit – What happens next is up to Verisign. Hopefully, the domain industry can put this case behind it.

5. U.S. Antitrust Division investigating Verisign running .Web – The inquiry is related to how Verisign would operate the domain, not the controversial $135 million auction.

In case you missed them, here are the DNW Podcasts from last month:

#125 – Expired domain names with Tan Tran
#124 – Sell more domain names! (Jeff Gabriel)
#123 – Monetize your Email
#122 – Battling the Bots
