Just picked up AegeanSea․com 🌊✨.I’ve always dreamed of visiting Greece—wandering through Santorini’s blue-and-white domes and hopping across islands like Crete and Mykonos. Haven’t made it there (yet), but owning this domain feels like my first virtual step onto the Aegean. 💙

Just acquired ItalianPizza․com! This is the most expensive slice of pizza I’ve ever bought 🍕💸. I love this name for a few reasons:. 1️⃣ Pizza․com once sold for over $2.6M in 2008. 2️⃣ “Italian Pizza” has huge search volume — 165K global monthly searches (60K+ from the US) per

Last month in Osaka for Expo 2025, I stayed near the World Expo venue. Right by my hotel, I spotted Sagarmatha Indian & Nepali Restaurant. I shouted to my wife: We own Sagarmatha․com! (Sagarmatha = Mount Everest in Nepali) This is fate—we have to eat here!. She glanced at the

Sold ChemicalTrade․com for $1,000 after holding it since 2010—15 years in total. The only previous offer was $300 in 2016, followed by nearly 9 years of silence. I kept renewing it because dotDB shows 11 EMDs registered: The buyer ended up being from

Haven’t received an offer on a .tv name in a long time. About 20 years ago, when online video was just starting to boom, I went all-in on .tv. Between 2005–2015 I sold 50+ .tv names for over $100,000 total, which laid a strong foundation for my early domaining career. At one

Sold OpendoorProperties․com for $3,000. 💵. But behind this domain is a bittersweet story…. Back in 2020, I bought the name and discovered a U.S. real estate startup, Opendoor․com, that claimed to use AI to flip houses. Type in your address, and they’d give you an instant

Does anyone have any idea why my domain Tiranga․com 🇮🇳 has been getting a huge surge of unique visitors over the past few days — around 4,000–5,000 per day — and why I’ve been receiving over 100 messages daily from different people in India, mostly written in Hindi, which I

This new feature, especially the “Search Volume by Country”, is incredibly valuable. For example, earlier this year I sold Satay․com for $50,000. If I’d had dotDB’s Keyword Insights Page at the time, I could have instantly seen that “satay” is searched most in Malaysia, followed.

We're excited to announce the launch of the Keyword Insights Page, a powerful new feature that gives you a complete, data-rich view of any keyword's global footprint. Take "Labubu" for example – a collectible plush toy brand created by Hong Kong artist Kasing Lung that has

Vibe-coded a playable Fanorona in ~1 hour: 🎮 Fanorona is Madagascar’s beloved board game, made global by Assassin’s Creed. I grabbed the domain 5 years ago—rather than let it sit, I built the real game. More satisfying than selling. Come play! #Fanorona

Exciting news — I can finally reveal the domain: NNET․com! 🎉. It’s short for Neural Network, a trending term in the AI world. Interestingly, when I bought it back in 2008, Neural Network wasn’t even on my mind — that meaning only became mainstream in recent years. At the time,

Just sold the 5-letter brandable domain Gadio․com for $1,000 to a Brazilian entrepreneur. I originally bought it back in 2014, thinking it could be a blend of Game + Radio. (Back then, I actually ran a popular online radio platform!) Maybe the buyer is planning something

I’ve been completely immersed in the world of vibe coding lately—sorry if I’ve missed your messages!. Subscribed to Cursor’s $200/month plan, and blew through 100M tokens in just a few days. Even the $400 monthly limit maxed out fast. Ideas I’ve shelved for years due to lack of

There’s an update. the offer has gone up from $50K to $70K, and now to $75K. However, I’m still aiming for a 6-figure sale, so I won’t be accepting the current offer. I’ll reveal the domain name eventually, whether it sells or not. (Of course, I’m still hoping it sells, fingers

An AI-related .com domain of mine has received a $50K offer (up from the initial $10K) and is currently tagged with “Unknown” status. I’m aiming for 6 figures. Hopefully, it will close at my target price.🤞

Finally gave a proper landing page! I also wrote a short piece on the long tail & niche strategy that has guided me for years. If you're curious about what the long tail is and why this strategy works for me, check it out:

Just added a game completion counter to 5 days ago, already passed 5,000 games played! That’s ~1,000 games per day and still climbing. 📈. This kind of traction is only possible because of the power of an exact-match .com domain.

I really like the free money that DomainAgents gives to every domain owner who gets a buying inquiry for their domain. I remember they used to work with Dynadot too, whenever someone showed interest in your domain, as long as you logged in and responded with a counteroffer, you’d
