Weekly Domain Name Summary – 11th April to 17th April

The last week was a relatively quiet one for local domain names sold through Netfleet, but that didn’t stop a couple of our customers picking up a great deal.

There are an endless amount of related keywords that accompany this name when performing a standard Google search – in fact, around 1.77B search results are found for things such as: music, celebrity profiles, products, services, sayings and the like.

Netfleet Security Breach – Update

Dear All As per previous email communication to all clients earlier today, there was a security breach of our database at Netfleet.

Why .com is NOT king!

There’s a common misconception among domainers that the best investment in domains is .com. This is patently not true – in fact .com domains have been a terrible investment over the last few years and prospects continue to look dire.

ccTLD co.uk Stats – Lessons For Australia

I was in the UK a couple of weeks ago and I couldn’t help noticing how much .com, .net and .biz are used over there by UK companies relative to Australia. I’m talking about by UK based companies with a seemingly UK market – even local tradespeople and shops often had something other than .co.uk painted on their vans or shop windows. .co.uk was dominant but it seemed not nearly as so as the .au is in Australia. So I conducted a rigorous scientific experiment…. I counted the number of .uk’s compare to the number of non-.uk domain names I […]
