The cannabis industry is an interesting one to watch–especially in regards to domains and branding, but really across the board. A young industry, without established leaders, but where there is a lot of money looking to be invested (and not a ton of places to invest it compared to traditional …

$30 million in funding for a company with a .email domain, Titan.email ! From their site: “Titan raises $30m from Automattic to build the future of professional email” Who says email is dead? (Well, you’re clearly wrong). Lots of ccTLDs this week, the top one a $2.4 billion buyout of …

The brandable domain names that sold last week, how much they sold for, and where they sold, week thirty one. Quick rules recap for how I determine this list: No numeric domains No obvious keywords or category-defining domains (CryptoMarketplace.com is a KW, CoinBase.com is a brand). TLDs/ccTLDs: .com, OR .co, …

The brandable domain names that sold last week, how much they sold for, and where they sold, week thirty.

Being involved (adjacently? tangentially?) with the agriculture space in the work I do related to the cannabis industry, I am intrigued by the .AG extension. After seeing–and understanding the niche appeal of–the explosion in popularity of .IO, and more recently .AI and .VC, I started digging in to .AG. Could …

Surprised to see a .team on this list–hopefully they can take that seed investment and upgrade that domain! I’m seeing a lot of names like SkyFish.ai raising 8 figures in funding… do you think they’ll eventually rebrand to Sky.ai or Fish.ai? Or will they go for SkyFish.com? I guess that’s …

It’s back! The brandable domain names that sold last week, how much they sold for, and where they sold. Really impressed by some of the non-.com names on this list. Quick rules recap for how I determine this list: No numeric domains No obvious keywords or category-defining domains (CryptoMarketplace.com is …

Another week, another $25.2 million dollar average funding deal size across 200+ companies. Most of them were .com related, with .IO, .AI, and .CO bringing up the rest of the TLDs worth mentioning. Also, a domain hack! See if you can spot it. The more-than-2-TLDs breakdown in this week’s list: …

I admit it, I’m a big fan of .org. A single one-word .org makes an amazing brand. I will die on that hill and take you all down with me. However, I cannot understand why Invisible.org went for $12k+ on Park.io. It’s not a keyword with obvious ecommerce potential. So …

Another week, another just mind boggling amount of money invested into companies with some really terrible domain names (because many of them with “get” or “my” or “go” modifiers can’t get their .com because A WHOLE EXISTING COMPANY is built on it. Seems like a questionable move, but what do …

This week’s list contains some outliers, as it will once every month, due to the .ai expired auction concluding. If you’ve read last week’s recently funded companies post or the top unicorns and their domains post, you’ll see that .ai has a ton of momentum, and that a lot of …

Some thoughts: Anthropic (of or relating to humans) is an AI company that raised $124m. Kind of an obscure dictionary word, so I love it as a brand. HelloResolve.com just raised $60m, but they don’t have Resolve.com, which currently, er… resolves to a “coming soon” page for a physician job …

The top brandable sales of the last week. But first, the criteria I use to determine a brandable domain: No numeric domains No obvious keywords or category-defining domains (CryptoMarketplace.com is a KW, CoinBase.com is a brand). TLDs/ccTLDs: .com, OR .co, .io, .org if they are strong one-word keywords (and occasionally …

One really great way to learn what kind of domain names to buy or invest in, is to look at what some of the biggest, highest-funded, and most-valuable companies are doing when it comes to brand names and domain names. I’ve compiled a list of the top unicorns based in …

It’s been a while, but the brandable domain sales review is BACK at DNgeek. A few of the criteria have changed from Doron’s original outlining of what constitutes a brandable name (for the purposes of talking about them on this site), because: Times change. Markets and trends change. Different things …

I sold SPAC.us for $3,500 last week, via GoDaddy broker (unsolicited, inbound). Here’s how it went down, and some takeaways from this that you can use when acquiring future inventory to try and sell. The email I received a week and a half ago: Subject: SPAC.US – $2,000 USD Offer …
