    ccTLD investing: do registry rules affect your strategy?

    One thing that makes international domain investing interesting is that every ccTLD registry can have different rules. The recent .IN advisory is another reminder that country-code domains are not always managed like .COM. For investors holding international extensions, do registry policies...

    Hi Helmuts, thanks for asking! 😇 We use a third-party payment provider for this. Customers can pay with crypto, and the provider handles the conversion and settlement process on the backend.

    European ccTLDs are getting stricter with registration data. Anyone managing them?

    One thing that is easy to forget with European ccTLDs is that each registry can have different rules after registration. The recent .AT verification changes are an interesting example. A domain can exist for years, but registration data may still need to be verified later. For people managing...

    Will you miss the TAG system when .UK moves to Transfer Authorisation Codes?

    Thanks for posting those. There’s definitely a lot more buried in this change than just replacing TAGs with TACs. Yeah, there's a bit more to it than just the TAC change. Nominet has most of the prep stuff here: https://registrars.nominet.uk/registry/dot-uk/preparing-for-standardisation/ Worth...

    Will you miss the TAG system when .UK moves to Transfer Authorisation Codes?

    Most people here know the TAG process inside out, so I am curious how the change is viewed by people who actually use it regularly. Nominet has confirmed that .UK will move to Transfer Authorisation Codes on 9 February 2027 as part of .UK Standardisation. Once the new process is live, do you...

    AI Hub is out - v2 - what do you think?

    Being able to just @ tag the bot directly in the middle of an active thread is super convenient. Saves having to copy-paste half the conversation over to a separate ChatGPT tab just to clarify a single technical point or run some numbers. Really slick update, Helmuts 🙂

    I made somthing - NameChase - .uk Droplists

    Quite a week, Daniel! Getting the keywording live after the database trouble must feel good. The search history graph caught my eye in this update. I'd enjoy seeing how interest in a name’s keywords has changed over time.

    What is going on with recent Domainlore sales ?

    It would be interesting to see how much bidder overlap there actually is across these auctions. If it is just a handful of deep-pocketed buyers chasing specific niches, that activity can easily make overall demand in the UK market look a lot broader than it really is.

    Do valid newer TLDs still get rejected by older websites?

    ICANN published new Universal Acceptance guidelines this week. For people mainly using .uk, .co.uk or .com, this issue is easy to miss. Some older systems used to reject longer extensions such as .london or .photography because their checks expected shorter TLDs. Has anyone seen a recent...

    I made somthing - NameChase - .uk Droplists

    This is coming along nicely. The wildcard search is probably the bit I'd use most.
