Welcome to the third edition of Domains on X Weekly. Another very exciting week of domain name posts on X (Twitter). Here’s my wrap on some of the most interesting posts I came across.
Atom cozying up with Porkbun
Atom announced they have partnered with Porkbun. More distribution is a great thing for sellers and buyers alike. Will we see a takeover? Apparently no plans yet, but this is something that wouldn’t surprise me to see.
More news from Atom as they roll out Deep Personalisation
It’s great to see innovation in the domain space. I like this move from Atom, bringing a better path to domain discoverability. With competition heating up from Spaceship it’s great to see both marketplaces working to make things better for buyers and sellers. I have most of my brandable domain names on Atom so this update is a welcome change.
Another .trade name sale with Bazaar.trade
Bazaar.trade sold for $6,988 according to TopDomains and NameBio. I like the .trade extension and own several names including Liquor.trade, Pork.trade, Valley.trade, Pawn.trade and Conductor.trade. Values also continue to rise in this extension.
Some lucky person just picked up Dream.trade for $164 according to NameBio. It’s now up for sale at $18,888!
Kalin from SEO Domains shared they do 3-5% of the world’s domain sales by volume, yet don’t report these sales to NameBio due to privacy.
If you’re trying an outbound domain strategy Alex Hormozi has some great advice if you get ghosted.
Zip.ai Sells for $200k! Speaking of being ghosted, here’s a nice ending for .ai domain seller barman on X
Amazingly, the first buyer ghosted barman with a $50k sale for Zip.ai, then 6 months later it sells for $200k! It’s the kind of story every domain seller hopes for and a great outcome.
A very nice portfolio of .ai names by Alan Alden
Every now and then you come across a domain portfolio that blows you away. Check out some of the names Alan shares in his portfolio including Search.ai, Dating.ai and Investor.ai to name just a few. Wow!! I still think the best it yet to come with .ai names, especially when you see values rising so quickly and some seriously good names like this still up for sale.
That’s a wrap for this week. If you enjoyed reading this, then subscribe for regular updates below. Thanks for stopping by.
