You can transfer up to 10 dot com domains from your current registrar to NameCheap.com at only $4.99 a pop (they’re basically losing money by putting this deal on the table, a very aggressive customer acquisition strategy) if and only if you act quickly. The promo ends today at 11:59 PM EST if I’m not mistaken and if you want to take advantage of this offer, simply initiate the transfer(s) and use the coupon code “BYEBYEGD” when checking out.

Something extremely important is happening right now and as a person who earns a living online (domainer/webmaster/whatever), it’s in your best interest to stay on top of things: Google has launched “+1”, a feature similar to the FB “Like” button which is currently available for search results/AdWords listings and will soon be available for websites.

As per Elliot’s twitter update, it seems BigJumbo.com donated the entire $500 amount to Elliot’s charity campaign even though the Facebook fan count goal wasn’t met. According to another twitter update, $7k have been raised so far. Very classy, congrats guys!

If you want to sell some LLL.com, NNN.com or CVCV.com domains and are willing to price them realistically, email me (admin@domainingtips.com) the list (or the domain if you only own one). Please include asking prices as well. Possibly also interested in LLL.net or very high quality LLLL.com domains.

John from DNXpert.com recently launched DomainPeers.com, an interesting project IMO and I wish him all the best. The concept is simple: you submit an entry (a domain you want to develop or an existing site which needs a re-design) and if it is voted by enough people, the project will be featured on the homepage.

This guy contacts me and wants to buy a domain, great. I ask him to make an offer, he says $150 and when I counter with a more than reasonable price, he starts ranting about how people like me suck, while flipping burgers is honorable. I’m sure most of you have come across at least one douchebag like this guy and only one thing bugs me: how can someone claim that selling unhealthy heart attack inducing burgers is honorable, while investing in something isn’t?

There’s a new coupon for $1.18 domains in town! As always, only people who pay via credit card can use the coupon and it’s NOT limited to dot com domains (it’s easy to determine whether or not the coupon works for a certain tld, all you need to do is use it when checking out after trying to register a domain). Let’s get right down to business, the brand new GoDaddy coupon for $1.18 domains is “GETLUCKY”: have fun!
