About 10 Days Away From .COM/.NET Price Increases - You Ready?
September 20, 2008 | 1 Comment
I started preparing for the .com/.net price increase about two months ago (wish I hadn’t–LONG STORY)… so this isn’t really a big deal to me anymore. I renewed a majority of domains till 2010, a few till 2011, and some premiums till 2013. I figured I might as well and save my 2-3$… why not? [...]

Dynadot: Grace Deletions Are Back
July 6, 2008 | 4 Comments
Yep… back… but with a catch:
You are receiving this email because you have grace deleted a domain, or you are a bulk customer.
On July 5 we removed grace deletions from our system because ICANN is no longer refunding their $0.20 fee for domains deleted in the first 5 days. Many customers contacted us and were [...]

Dynadot.com Terminates ‘Grace Deletions’
July 5, 2008 | 1 Comment
Argh… the day has finally come–Dynadot.com terminates “Grace Deletions” on July 5, 2008. This means that if you buy a domain… you will have to keep it for a year. No more “Woops… ‘Request Delete For Credit’” and get your credit back and buy another domain.
Kinda sucks, right? Well those who abused the system probably [...]

Break or not–I still need about one to two hours online per day. You just need to make sure things are in order and not going haywire while you try to enjoy yourself. I’ve found a pretty decent spot to sit and enjoy myself on my (now with me) laptop… so I’ll try to start [...]

Non-Paying Domain Buyers SUCK
May 18, 2008 | 2 Comments
I’m absolutely fed up with non-paying bidders. It’s also extremely frustrating going through the hassle of wasting your time due to non-paying bidders… so much effort into something so stupid. Recently been trying to sell some domains and I’ve been bailed on twice in the last 2 weeks.
If you’re a seller, I suggest you do [...]

Matt Cutts Video - What Google Knows About Spam
May 13, 2008 | Leave a Comment
So I was sitting around yesterday and was asked about selling links by a friend. I got him some resources and ran into an extremely interesting video on Matt Cutt’s blog.
He went to Web 2.0 (a ‘web’ show type event) and did a little presentation about “What Google Knows About Spam”. I really enjoyed watching [...]
