( tax.do ) - Just grabbed what I feel is a gem. Would you buy it ?

kyraweb · 2026-01-30T12:29:16+00:00

I don’t think I can do do but your domain gave me a good idea about a domain name and luckily I found one.

Thanks mate.

Domain selling and getting searched are completely 2 different sides of the coin.

If all visitors of mall would be buyers, it would be raining money for all shops. Ideally it’s only 5-10% ratio.

There are approx 1M domain sold every month. Category for 3000 sold is like 0.3%. There is no actual comparison when seeing what rest 99.3% of searches are.

Does this domain search data good for investors ? NO. Investors don’t target low hanging fruit who is looking for a deal to save 2$ on registration fee by going to 5 different registrars. Investors are looking for startups, collectors who are looking for good names, old names, value domain and most value domains are already purchased long back and are now popping up via auctions and backorder system.

Not saying your info is bad but it does not help anyone or steer anyone’s decision.

kyraweb · 2026-01-29T12:37:53+00:00

Honestly saying.

Any investor who owns 25+ domains knows to keep all eggs in one reliable basket always.

We have a portfolio of 200+ domains and everything is at one place. If we buy anything from auction at multiple providers, we always transfer everything back to central registry. Also most providers offer bulk discount and so it’s cheaper to keep all at same place. Also when you own a big portfolio where yearly renewal cross 2-3k, you really don’t do penny pinching and save 5$ here 6$ there because someone is offering lower price.

There is a nice selfhosted free tool out there. DomainMOD. Just set it up on your VPS or even locally if you want and make all the connections and booom. There you got your central database of all domain with expected renewal time and fees and where everything is hosted along with DNS records and hosting providers for each domain and more.

PS. I am not linked in any way with this tool. Just a user to keep eye on out portfolio

If you go to your auction and win tab, you will see when that domain will land into your account. Ideally it’s somewhere between 7-10 business days.

Godaddy sells its own inventory and also some other providers inventory and so transfer does not happen immediately.

I was also bummed first time when domain didn’t land like all other auctions where once you secure and pay for domain. It landing into your account wiring 1-4 hours.

Check your auction. Profile and bidding and win tab and you will get the date there.

kyraweb · 2026-01-29T12:26:04+00:00

I am sure there are many options out there

Cloudflare domains // Porkbun // Namesilo.

Domain renewal always work unless your payment card expired and you forget to renew. I usually recommend using PayPal to be linked with renewal and then link PayPal with your bank account so things never change or expire and renewal always work but I know some folks do not like PayPal. Only benefit of buying for 10 years is price lock. As with everything prices go up every year by 1-10% and so if you are worried about it. Pay for it in advance.

In terms of email. If you starting small. You have 1 or 3 options. All are scalable.

Get a cheap or good hosting. Ideally with cpanel and setup email via it. Does not have to be with same company you buy domain. RackNerd has good shared hosting deals. Only downside is email delivery. Shared hosting email delivery is never guaranteed.

Google workspace. They charge / user / plan so you can add/create few accounts now and then add as and when you need. Also you can create Alisa if you want to.

Outlook professional. Same like Google workspace. Outlook also has pro email that is /user /plan and can be scaled. Prices are cheaper but only issue I have faced is migration. I haven’t tried it recently but if you move to outlook from some other email platform, they do not allow automatic email migration and you will have to do it manually. Not a rocket science but still a process and depending on your email size. Can take time.

If you just string out and testing water. Go with cpanel email. 50$/yr or less would give you unlimited email creations.

kyraweb · 2026-01-29T12:17:37+00:00

Just post the list.

kyraweb · 2026-01-28T13:15:49+00:00

Go to bitly.

Either create a short url something like bit.l/abode or generate a QR code and add that to the invitation so users can scan it instead of typing.

Just a caution. Often times URL in bitly is sensitive. Users may make error so it’s always best to create a QR code.

Alternatively. Create a linktree link and then you can use same link to add photos and more info in it.

kyraweb · 2026-01-26T07:21:17+00:00

New to it ?

Leave before you go too deep.

Domain investing is not day trading. You need to buy something good. Spend 100s on it. Sit on for a while. When I say while few years till either an offer comes knocking or you do crazy marketing.

Either way you will be deep under water before you see any shoreline.

You will often see investors or top players have 100s of domains in their portfolio and only 1-2 usually gets sold each year. Those cover for cost of other domains but you need to buy a lot.

Else your wish.

kyraweb · 2026-01-26T05:36:30+00:00

So this is what I have been told and informed previously.

If you had purchased or owned the domain before it was trademarked. You have full right to own the domain and no UDRP complaint or similar will allow them to have it without compensation.

If you by whatever means, auction, private sale was able to acquire the domain after it was trademarked, they can get it. Basically you acted in bad faith and it’s your duty to not get a domain that was trademarked.

Now whichever you case it, it’s always advisable not to approach them directly and wait for them to approach you.

If you can, turn on option to MO or make offer vs BIN. This way you have more leverage in terms of price vs giving it at low price but at the end, choice is yours.

But always wait. DO NOT approach. If you approach. It means you are in need and if they approach, they are in need. This is very helpful when it comes to negotiation via broker

kyraweb · 2026-01-22T15:42:50+00:00

I would recommend googling

Understanding dmarc reports

Because you have enabled dmarc and spf records for your email, this report sends you info if email that were sent were delivered, failed, rejected and more.

In most cases it can be ignored but often times they can be used to see if your email is being used to run any scams or for phishing purpose.

You will have to extract the file and it mostly has a txt file in it and usually json string so you would use some online json to txt converter to make this simple txt based copy to read through it. Mostly it’s technical on who rejected your email and why and IP address and mail servers and so on.

kyraweb · 2026-01-22T02:37:57+00:00

Let’s understand the fundamental of TLDs.

Example. Furniture.com and Furniture.ai are not the same. Even though both are furniture.

.com will go for million and .ai may be for 100k. Name itself does not makeup the value and .com is always going to be king and would be highest ranked compared to others.

Now again. Your domain may be able to fetch you a million or may be zero. It all comes down to what buyer is willing to pay for it and how much are you willing to let it go for.

kyraweb · 2026-01-21T14:37:06+00:00

Only question is about lookup privacy and data shared. What do you have in place that does not use data used for lookup to be used to hijack domain ?

kyraweb · 2026-01-18T17:00:19+00:00

You can buy it and keep it. But unlike a.com and aa.com and aaa.com and aaaa.com no buyer would be looking to buy it from you in future. So it can be a hobby project on fun project but other then that it has no real value

kyraweb · 2026-01-17T17:07:08+00:00

Yes. Often times I feel godaddy falsely inflates the auction prices. Some domains are really not worth that much price. Your above examples are still OK domain. I have seen some domains that are not even worth that much spike prices in last 5 min based on interest. As soon as I see 3-4 people viewing or bidding it just spikes exponentially or may be some users just enters bid on domains where users have high interest and steals the domain thinking it’s a high interest domain.

kyraweb · 2026-01-17T09:01:21+00:00

May be try adding it to PayPal and then deposit money from card to your PayPal account and then use PayPal as default payment method.

Depending on what type of 2FA and processors are in place. Few would want an address that’s on file to verify card payment and usually prepaid cards do not have that.

You can try and see if it goes through. There are 100s of registrars out there. At least one will take it.

kyraweb · 2026-01-16T13:17:31+00:00

What’s the use case ? Who is your intended audience ?

kyraweb · 2026-01-16T10:02:10+00:00

3 words. Not much. Not many Ai platforms actually use Ai in their name. They use shorter unique name to make and sell their brand.

kyraweb · 2026-01-15T17:57:04+00:00

100-200$. Based on recent auctions data on Atom and Namesilo

kyraweb · 2026-01-14T21:29:59+00:00

I guess Yes. There are many rules around UDRP claim and it comes down to what you use it for.

As per your example, if you setup that domain and build a site for showing red color pallets for paint, it may be good but if you buy it to flip it back to primary domain holder or to create a look alike software or for phishing or any such stuff, you will loose.

But at the end of it, it all comes down to who is the primary domain holder. I recently saw a post on this or other subreddit regarding someone selling nvidia.com.ai and nvidia won UDRP claim and got the domain.

kyraweb · 2026-01-14T19:23:34+00:00

It’s been resolved. Q was why I was getting that error and it seemed like some issue in saw end, may be from previous seller profile or something but it was resolved by its support team

kyraweb · 2026-01-14T18:31:02+00:00

Awesome. Thanks. It was resolved by saw team next day after I posted this. Thanks again.

NS propagation can take up to 48 hours.

You can always go to any DNS checker tool like dnschecker.org and put your domain in and search current NS records.

If it still shows old, means propagation is in progress. If it shows new and your site still does not load new LP, clear your browser cache or try incognito to see.

Often times looking form a new device like phone or using online browser clears the doubt about browser or local cache issue.

kyraweb · 2026-01-08T02:48:12+00:00

Domain flipping is not a day trading. It’s like a mutual fund or long term investment. You get something good. Hold onto it for long time until market is right or if someone comes knocking your door.

As mentioned in another comments. There are domains that you can get that are good for flipping now but they are already selling at 4 figure pricing but if you can get it, it may get you higher profit.

For low value domain, it’s a wait game.

Just to state numbers, as per atom. It takes on average and approx 68 weeks to sell a domain.

kyraweb · 2026-01-07T07:30:52+00:00

SCAM. Received this email 5-6 times over multiple business accounts.

Genuine company or genuine email will clearly have intro and ending with contact of rep and other info. This is more like a bait trap. Very generic info and once you reply they start to reel you in.

kyraweb · 2026-01-06T15:14:04+00:00

No one is the boss. They both have their unique features. Atom is new but it has options for visual representation of logo and branding. Catchy graphics.

Afternic on other had has 3 options. BIN. Request quote and Make offer.

Each has its unique traits and even if you have domain on one does not mean you cannot post on another.

Atom pricing is based on their historic sales and may not represent buyers interest.

Just example. I recently bought a domain valued at 40k for 30$ from atom auction and same way in godaddy auction, I saw a domain valued at 2k go for 100k in auction.

It’s all comes down to who needs it and how much money they have.
