End user domain sales including a .mobi (yes, .mobi)

Domain Name Wire - Thu, 03/14/2024 - 13:29

A .mobi domain has been sold on the aftermarket. You read that right. Hell has frozen over: A .mobi domain has sold on the aftermarket. In the early days of .mobi, a domain extension meant for mobile websites, it made a lot of sense. Companies created entirely separate websites for people accessing sites from the […]

Temu fights back against cybersquatters and unauthorized apps with federal lawsuit

Domain Name Wire - Wed, 03/13/2024 - 16:18

Temu goes after cybersquatters with federal lawsuit.

The owners of the shopping app Temu have sued cybersquatters and purveyors of unauthorized Temu apps.

Whaleco, Inc., d/b/a Temu, a subsidiary of Pinduoduo Inc. (NASDAQ: PDD), filed the suit (pdf) in U.S. District Court in Illinois this week.

Temu is a very popular shopping app that offers cheap goods directly from sellers, using the slogan “Shop like a billionaire.” It was advertised extensively during this year’s Super Bowl.

The company alleges that people are cybersquatting with the domains temuh .com, temumore .com, and temu-shopping .com.

While the first domain name could reasonably be used for a purpose other than imitating Temu, the company says the domain was previously forwarded to the site dashmee .com, which offered cheap goods. Both temuh .com and dashmee .com now forward to Google’s public DNS service, so the use has subsequently changed.

Whaleco also alleges that the owners of several websites are infringing its trademarks by offering unauthorized versions of its app.

Top sales at NameJet and SnapNames in February

Domain Name Wire - Wed, 03/13/2024 - 13:43

Arnica.com tops list of expired domain sales in February.

Newfold Digital’s two domain marketplaces, NameJet and SnapNames, combined to sell about 51 domains for $2,000 or more in February, totaling roughly $262k.

This compares to 62 sales over $2,000, totaling $242k in January.

I have noticed a slowdown in how many domains I’m backordering toward the tail end of February. It’s strange how good inventory ebbs and flows.

Arnica.com $21,369 – Arnica is a plant that has been used in medicine for centuries. Part of the value here is that the domain was used previously.

Transverse.com $18,502 – This is a solid one-word domain that would make a nice brand.

Patented.com $9,029 – This is a great legal name. Yes, it has -ed, but that’s a common usage for this word.

Concurrence .com $5,750 – I bought this domain. I think it’s a great domain with a strong connotation.

EnergyStore.com $5,553 – A great domain for solar, batteries, etc.

Virtual Handshake conference takes place this week

Domain Name Wire - Tue, 03/12/2024 - 16:53

Conference will cover the latest with blockchain naming systems and Handshake.

Handycon, a virtual conference for the Handshake blockchain naming system, takes place this week. The fourth installment of the event will be March 13 to 15.

Topics include:

  • Legal and trademark safeguards
  • Bridging web2 and web3
  • Scaling Handshake

Speakers include:

The conference comes at an interesting time for blockchain naming initiatives. Many companies are throwing their hats in the ring, such as D3, Orange Domains, and .Box. However, there seems to be a shift from the idea of hosting websites on these alternative naming systems to integrating blockchain naming systems with regular DNS domains. All three of the previously mentioned companies are in this camp, and that seems to be where Ethereum Name Service is headed, too. Handshake is squarely designed to mimic and replace the DNS with its own extensions, putting it at odds with this shift.

Should you set up a catch-all email on your domains?

Domain Name Wire - Tue, 03/12/2024 - 13:55

Here are some drawbacks to setting up catch-all email.

Last week I wrote about how to set up catch-all email on Squadhelp. Setting this up means you’ll receive any emails sent to your domains.

While this could provide you with insight about your domains, there are some drawbacks.

John Berryhill explained some legal considerations in a post a couple of years ago. There is certainly a chance that collecting email (or even setting up MX records) can open you to suspicion or legal consequences.

Another drawback is that people might start spoofing your domain name with outbound emails.

That said, you can add an SPF record to your domain to prevent spoofing. I updated last week’s article with instructions. Basically, you’ll add a TXT record with v=spf1 -all.

Like many things, there are potential benefits and drawbacks that you need to weigh.

I previously tracked inbound email using a service that sold the data to help companies clean their lists. It was interesting to see which domains received a lot of emails, but I can’t point to a single instance of it leading to a domain sale.

WIPO panelist files reverse domain name hijacking case on behalf of client

Domain Name Wire - Mon, 03/11/2024 - 13:11

A panelist should surely know better.

A World Intellectual Property Organization UDRP panelist filed a reverse domain name hijacking case on behalf of a client, fellow panelists have ruled.

Ezgi Baklacı Gülkokar of the law firm Moroğlu Arseven filed a dispute on behalf of Toros Tarım Sanayi ve Ticaret Anonim Şirketi against the domain name toros.com.

The domain itself should set off alarm bells: even non-Spanish speakers probably recognize this is the Spanish word for bulls.

But the Complainant’s conduct in this case is more egregious than filing a dispute against a generic domain name.

Once the case was filed and the domain owner’s identity was revealed, the Complainant updated its case to name the domain registrant but didn’t do additional research with the new information.

Had the Complainant undertaken what the panel considers “a simple search of the disputed domain name on the Wayback Machine”, it would have discovered that the current owners have a right or legitimate interest in the domain name. For years, it was a site about bullfighting.

Worse, the Complaint includes an apparently false allegation that the domain owner tried to sell the domain to the Complainant. It alleged that the Respondent approached the Complainant through the domain broker Saw.com, offering to sell the disputed domain name to the Complainant for $37,000.

That’s not what happened, according to a signed declaration by Saw.com founder Jeffrey Gabriel.

Gabriel said that it was the Complainant that contacted Saw.com about acquiring the domain. Gabriel provided an appraisal of the domain from Saw.com’s appraisal tool that was for $37,000, but stated:

It is difficult to estimate what price could be requested for the domain as the owner (we don’t own the domain) is the primary variable, but I’ve generated an appraisal for you to give you an idea of what it could sell for.

Shockingly, the Complainant didn’t address this allegation after receiving the domain owner’s response to the dispute.

Ezgi Baklacı Gülkokar is a fairly new WIPO panelist, having first decided a case in 2022. But she’s active; UDRP.tools indicates that she has decided 31 cases.

John Berryhill represented the domain name owner in the three-panelist case. Nathalie Dreyfus was one of the panelists, so it’s a good thing it was a three-member panel. (She did agree with the majority in this case.)

This is the second time I’m aware of a UDRP panelist filing a case that resulted in a bad faith ruling. The other was in 2016. The panelist in that case had decided 65 UDRP cases, but was removed from WIPO’s panelist roster shortly after that decision.

Canva triumphs in cybersquatting case, secures 174 domain names

Domain Name Wire - Fri, 03/08/2024 - 17:28

Canva wins case that it says involved a single cybersquatter.

Design tools company Canva has won (pdf) a single cybersquatting case against 174 domain names.

The company filed the dispute with World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) in July 2023.

The registrars for the domains subsequently provided the registrant names, and the domains each had different owners. But Canva argued that the domains all had common control based on their IP addresses, design, and the fact that many of the supposedly different registrants reached out after receiving the cybersquatting complaint and used similar language in their responses. The panel agreed that the case could proceed as if the domains were all owned by one party.

WIPO published the decision in favor of Canva in the past day, and it’s dated February 27.

By using the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy to win the return of the domains, Canva likely used the most cost effective mechanism. WIPO charges $1,500 for a case against 1 to 5 domains, and $2,000 for a case against 6 to 10 domains. For any domains above that number, WIPO negotiates with the Complainant.

How to set up catch-all email forwarding at Squadhelp

Domain Name Wire - Fri, 03/08/2024 - 14:25

It’s easy to find out who is sending email to your parked domain names.

Squadhelp recently enabled custom DNS settings on domain names. When you point your domain names to Squadhelp’s nameservers, you can now add MX and TXT records to those domain names.

One of the cool things this enables is to set up catch-all email addresses for your domain names.

With catch-all addresses, you can receive any email sent to your domain names. This is a good way to track non-web traffic to your domains and might indicate sales opportunities if people are confusing your domain with someone else’s business.

Here’s how to start receiving any email sent to domains in your Squadhelp account.

1. Sign up for ForwardEmail.net

ForwardEmail.net offers a free tier with unlimited catch-all email address forwarding. That’s all you need to set it up.

It’s best to sign up using the email address you’d like to receive the forwarded messages. Remember that you might start receiving a lot of emails, so you might want to choose a mailbox you set up specifically for this purpose.

2. Get the MX and TXT records you need to add to your domain.

You’ll enter a domain name to get these records, but it doesn’t matter which domain at Squadhelp you enter. All mail sent to your Squadhelp domains will be forwarded.

3. Go to the Custom DNS Settings in Squadhelp.

The Custom DNS Settings page lets you create MX and TXT records. Copy the data from ForwardEmail.net and create the records at Squadhelp.

Now that you’re setting up MX records on your domains, you should also set up an SPF record. This will prevent people from spoofing your domain when sending mail. Create a TXT record with the value v=spf1 -all 

4. Verify your settings in ForwardEmail.net

Click the link in ForwardEmail.net to verify that your DNS is set up correctly. This verification can take a while, so be patient.

Once the DNS change propagates, you’ll start receiving emails sent to any of your domains, such as name@example.com, info@example.com, etc.

Squadhelp adds down payment option for lease to own

Domain Name Wire - Thu, 03/07/2024 - 18:35

Ask buyers for a down payment to reduce the chances of buyers abandoning long-term payment plans. Offering long-term payment plans for domain names is a great way to increase sales. However, sellers can be frustrated when buyers stop making payments. And the longer the payment period, the more likely the buyer will stop making payments. […]

A dozen end user domain sales including .link and .me

Domain Name Wire - Wed, 03/06/2024 - 19:03

A legal SEO company, a link-in-bio service and others bought domain names this week.

Of all of Sedo’s sales this past week, the one I’m most curious about is church.sucks. .Sucks domains rarely make aftermarket lists, and this one is super unusual. Perhaps a church’s marketing campaign to show that church doesn’t have to suck? Or maybe an atheist bought it? We’ll have to wait to see.

As for domains we know the buyer of, Here’s a list of end user domain name sales that just completed at Sedo. You can view previous lists like this here.

NowOn.com $19,000 – Digitall is a digital transformation business that announced a partnership with ServiceNow. I suspect the name is a play on the ServiceNow partnership.

Link.xyz €10,000 – It appears the buyer is setting up a tool for creators that includes link-in-bio and link shortening.

LawFirmSEO.com $8,500 – Hennessey Digital bought this domain. The firm’s founder, Jason Hennessey, was on DNW Podcast #366.

Tower1.com $6,950 – Tower1 is a residential real estate investment firm.

PromoRegalo.com €4,840 – This site sells corporate branded gifts. It’s Spanish for promo gift.

Online-Energieausweis.de €4,000 – This domain, which is German for online energy certificate, resolves to the site for a business that sells energy consumption and need certificates.

Dudugo .com $3,439 – This domain is used for a Chinese-language site selling luxury purses.

Links .me $3,000 – This site will be a marketplace for selling links and guest posting. This stuff is the bane of my existence; I get about a dozen spammy guest post requests daily.

Liluna.de €2,975 – Liluna is an online store selling candles and baby gifts.

CGroup.eu €2,599 – This domain forwards to the website for Corporate Solutions grupa, which provides technology and business consulting.

Gasup.de €2,000 – The buyer is setting up a Shopify store.

GolfAndTravel.de €2,000 – Golf & Travel is a golf travel company.

Buying on SnapNames is better, but still not great

Domain Name Wire - Wed, 03/06/2024 - 16:07

I experience fewer headaches at SnapNames than I used to, but it’s still not as easy as winning expired domains at other services.

I’ve bought a lot more domain names on SnapNames over the past six months after taking a long break. I took a break because of the “pain and suffering” you experience when you win a domain name there.

When you win a domain on GoDaddy Auctions, it goes into your GoDaddy account. When you win at DropCatch, it goes into your NameBright account. But when you win a SnapNames, who knows where it will end up?

For a while, even when the domain would be placed into a Network Solutions account, SnapNames created new Network Solutions accounts for me. It seemed to randomly insert the wins into one of four or five accounts. So, I had all these accounts and would have to log into them to find the domains.

I’m not sure what changed, but now all of my Network Solutions wins go into a single account, which saves me a lot of headaches.

To be sure, there are still many issues. I was reminded of this when I won a domain name at SnapNames this week that was at Crazy Domains. Crazy Domains is part of the same company as SnapNames, but I’ve never had a domain there.

I got errors when changing the domain’s nameservers to Afternic. I connected with chat support, and they said it appeared to be an invalid nameserver. I told them that wasn’t the case, and they escalated the issue to their domains team. Later that day, I received an email saying the problem had been resolved and that the domain was now pointing to the Afternic nameservers.

Except, it doesn’t. It still points to the old nameservers; now, the previous owner’s site is resolving!

Getting your wins at random registrars is painful, and I try to avoid any domains not at Network Solutions or Register.com when I can.

Granted, even when a domain is inserted in your Network Solutions or Register.com account, there is some pain and suffering:

  • You get an email verification for every domain you register, and you have to click this for your domain to be active in the DNS
  • These registrars don’t let you add the Afternic ownership verification nameserver
  • It’s a tedious process to transfer out

I’ll finish this rant with a couple of nice things about SnapNames.

First, it’s nice that all of my Network Solutions wins land in one account.

Second, you can instantly opt into the Afternic network. Even GoDaddy requires you to wait 60 days.

(By the way, if you’re using NameJet instead of SnapNames, you’re wasting money. SnapNames doesn’t charge credit card fees. Update: NameJet recently stopped charging credit card fees.)

Aston Martin wins .ai domain from misguided domain registrant

Domain Name Wire - Tue, 03/05/2024 - 18:49

Forceful response falls flat as Aston Martin wins case for AstonMartin.ai.

Aston Martin won a cybersquatting claim against the registrant of AstonMartin.ai. Photo courtesy Aston Martin.

If there ever was a clearcut case of cybersquatting, registering AstonMartin.ai and listing it for sale would certainly qualify.

But that didn’t stop the person who registered this domain from putting up a spirited defense when Aston Martin filed a case against him.

First, the registrant argued that the carmaker doesn’t have a trademark in Anguilla, which is the country .ai is for.

The registrant also argued that Aston Martin should have tried to resolve the case without filing a cybersquatting dispute:

…the Complainant has brazenly sidestepped any attempt at amicable resolution by blindsiding the Respondent with baseless claims and a malicious attempt to wrest control of a domain name to which it holds no legitimate entitlement under the Policy. This Machiavellian maneuver is a clear indicator of the Complainant’s nefarious intent to harass and intimidate the Respondent through underhanded means.

The Respondent makes a lot of “vehement” assertions, including that:

  • the Complainant’s assertions regarding confusion or misleading consumers are utterly baseless and bereft of any factual foundation
  • the registration of the disputed domain name was not orchestrated with the intent to disrupt the Complainant’s business operations. Such allegations are nothing short of egregious attempts to malign the Respondent’s character and are categorically refuted.

Well, I’ll give their lawyer an A for forceful language.

The panelist unsurprisingly found in favor of Aston Martin and ordered the domain transferred.

Fresh Brandz LLC tries reverse domain name hijacking

Domain Name Wire - Tue, 03/05/2024 - 16:14

Company went after domain that was registered before it existed.

A company that sells aluminum-free deodorant has tried to reverse hijack FreshKidz.com, a UDRP panel has determined.

Fresh Brandz LLC sells a line of deodorant under the name Fresh Kidz. It uses the domain name MyFreshKidz.com.

The company filed a UDRP against FreshKidz.com, which domain name investor eWorldWideWeb, Inc. owns.

eWorldWideWeb acquired the domain name in an expired domain auction in March 2018. Fresh Brandz wasn’t formed until later that year. Fresh Brandz said it was the predecessor in interest of a company that existed before the domain registration but did not provide any evidence of that.

The three-person panel found that the Complainant failed to make even a prima facie case that the domain owner lacked rights or legitimate interests in the domain name. Even if it had, the panel said the domain owner successfully rebutted it.

The panel also found that the Complainant failed to show the domain was registered and used in bad faith.

In finding reverse domain name hijacking, it wrote:

In the present case the Panel considers that Complainant knew or should have known that it was unlikely to be able to show
 Respondent lacked a legitimate interest or had registered or used the Disputed Domain Name in bad faith. In this regard Respondent must have known Respondent’s registration of the Domain Name predated Complainant’s formation (a date which Complainant failed to identify in the Complaint), and predated the claimed first use in commerce date claimed in the FRESH KIDZ Trademark application (again a date which Complainant failed to identify in the Complaint). In order to overcome this problem Complainant sought to rely on what it said was its predecessor in interest Kind2Skin Ltd and says it is the assignee of that company’s trademark rights in the Earlier FRESH KIDZ Trademark. In doing so it was vague as to the relevant chronology but it must have been apparent to Complainant and/or its counsel that evidentiary proof of such an assignment was required, but none was provided. Complainant has failed to adduce any evidence at all to support its claim to be the successor in interest to Kind2Skin Ltd or its trademark, and it failed to disclose that trademark had subsequently been cancelled for non-use. Taking all of these factors into account, the Panel finds that Complainant’s actions amount to Reverse Domain Name Hijacking.

The panelists were Honorable Neil Anthony Brown KC and Sandra J. Franklin as Panelists and Nick J. Gardner.

Timothy Frailly, one of Fresh Brandz’s managers, represented the company in its filing. Jason Schaeffer of ESQwire.com, P.C., represented the domain name owner.

Squarespace’s new regs drop 10% MoM, but might be stabilizing

Domain Name Wire - Tue, 03/05/2024 - 14:19

Squarespace registered fewer .com domains again, but the month-over-month drop wasn’t as extreme.

I’ve been tracking Squarespace’s new .com domain registrations since it took over Google Domains in early September. Here’s the data :

  • August (pre-acquisition) 250,324
  • September (acquisition occurred September 8) 189,713, down 24% month over month
  • October 160,931, down 15%
  • November 145,141, down 10%

The good news for Squarespace is that the drop isn’t as big each month.

Squarespace says that churn from Google Domains customers is less than expected, but it hasn’t stated if new registrations are hitting its target.

ICANN just published data from .com registry Verisign showing new registrations at each registrar for November. In addition to the Squarespace data, note that Hostinger has landed on the top 10 new registrations chart for two months in a row, this time topping 100k registrations.

Below is a chart showing how the largest registrars did in terms of new registrations in November. Note that the rankings include multiple registrar accreditations within families of registrars. You can see the list at the end of this post.

1. GoDaddy.com (NYSE: GDDY) 682,905 (752,613 in October 2023)
2. Namecheap Inc. 286,914 (304,155)
3. Gname.com 167,461 (205,943)
4. Tucows (NASDAQ: TCX) 163,149 (170,236)
5. Squarespace (NYSE: SQSP) 145,141 (160,931)
6. Newfold Digital 135,649 (201,035)
7. Hostinger 108,790 (85,029)
8. IONOS 101,168
9. Alibaba 84,655 (86,237)
10. Dynadot 68,904 (78,357)

Here’s the leaderboard of the top registrars in terms of total .com registrations under management as of the end of November.

1. GoDaddy 55,976,359 (56,065,221 in October 2023)
2. Newfold Digital 12,275,329 (12,338,513)
3. Tucows 11,044,487 (11,076,704)

Jewelry company upgrades to GLD.com for $1 million

Domain Name Wire - Mon, 03/04/2024 - 18:04

A jeweler with major licensing deals upgrades its brand with a great domain name.

Jewelry company GLD recently moved its site from TheGLDShop.com to GLD.com.

A successful jewelry upstart has secured a significant domain name upgrade.

The GLD Shop has rebranded at GLD after acquiring the domain name gld.com from domain investor Richard Lau. Lau told Domain Name Wire he sold the domain name for $1 million.

GLD has a thriving business selling jewelry to clients such as Justin Bieber, Cardi B, Russell Westbrook, and Kevin Durant. It also has collaborations with the NFL, MLB, NBA, NCAA, and Marvel.

According to a BusinessInsider article from late 2020, the company was on track to generate $50 million in sales that year. And with people buying more goods during the pandemic, it surely grew from there.

For all its success, though, the company didn’t have a good domain name. It used TheGLDShop.com and ShopGLD.com for its web address.

Lau sold the domain name to the company last year. It just recently switched its site over and now forwards its other domains to GLD.com.

Based on archive.org records, it appears the switchover happened in the past ten days.

GLD is a play on the word gold. It also happens to be the ticker of a gold exchange-traded fund.

I reached out to GLD’s domain buyer broker, Joe Uddeme, to see if the buyer would comment, but the buyer has not responded.

Finding cofounders with cofounders .com – DNW Podcast #475

Domain Name Wire - Mon, 03/04/2024 - 16:30

Why this entrepreneur paid $65,000 for cofounders.com.

Chris Koerner reminds me of a lot of people in the domain business: he has his hands in multiple businesses ranging from tree trimming to cryptocurrency to reselling Buc-ee’s goods.

He partners with lots of founders to start businesses and recently paid $65,000 to acquire cofounders.com to promote this opportunity.

On today’s show, Chris talks about why he acquired the domain and what the process was like buying it through Godaddy. He also discusses the time he pitched John McAffee on a crypto project. That experience will show you his grit and determination.
