5 Reglike Stories — November’s Top

From expired domains to a fresh domain transfer policy, here are the top stories from last month.

The holidays are upon us! My daughter is going through a Pokemon phase for Christmas, which is a reminder of how a fresh generation can be exposed to something that faded out between generations. Think regarding this and how it might relate to domain names…

November was a great month for the Reglike Podcast, with a number of recent podcasts topping 1,000 downloads. Contact me if you’d like to sponsor the podcast.

Here are last month’s podcasts:

#112 Big firms and domain names
#111 Fresh Domain Transfer Policy
#110 Building Geo Domain Names
#109 Chips, mistakes and opportunities with Shane Cultra
