I think I wrote the shortest post in “DomainingTips history” yesterday and the main reason was that, you guessed it: I wrote it on my smartphone. As much as I love you guys, I love my sanity more, so there’s no way I’m writing a long post on my smartphone. Today, I’ll elaborate a bit and explain why smartphones are (in my opinion, of course), utterly useless when it comes to real work.

Smartphones Can Only Do So Much
Posted on 20 July 2014 by Andrei
Am I the only one who finds them utterly useless for *real* work?

14 GoDaddy Discount Codes
Posted on 19 July 2014 by Andrei
GoDaddy has been very generous over the past couple of weeks and today, I’ll be sharing 14 coupons with you guys. Three of them should work worldwide (one of those even works for up to 3 domains, so not just one) and as far as the remaining 11 are concerned, I’m not sure.

Expediting the Transfer Process
Posted on 18 July 2014 by Andrei
In my opinion, this is a feature all registrars should have and as a domainer, I consider it quite desirable. Several companies already offer this and not having to wait that much for a transfer to finalize is a very nice perk.
Mediocrity = Bad Idea
Posted on 17 July 2014 by Andrei
I think a lot of new gTLD registry operators rationalized their fears away by saying something along the lines of “ok, most strings won’t be smashing hits but we’ll still break even in a reasonable timeframe” instead of trying to come up with ways to innovate.
The problem is this: even relatively soon in the game, we’re starting to see extensions with only a low 3 figure number of registrations after the first day of General Availability.
Did You Register Any Dot Wien, Dot Rest, Dot Bar, Dot Capital, Dot Engineering, Dot Exchange or Dot Gripe Domains This Week?
Posted on 16 July 2014 by Andrei
Pretty active week on the new gTLD front but I for one didn’t get any. Dot Wien was very tempting but the terms I found attractive were taken.
Offering “Domain + Development” Packages to End Users?
Posted on 15 July 2014 by Andrei
This is one of the things I’ve been thinking about lately.
A lot of people consider the very concept of buying a premium domain strange but on the other hand, paying for website development is something they’re most likely used to.
The New Normal?
Posted on 14 July 2014 by Andrei
At this point, it seems that (as strange as it may sound), people are starting to consider a new gTLD launch with 1000-ish domains decent. We had several instances when only a 3 figure number of domains were registered after should have been the big launch phase (sunrise + landrush or variations thereof + first day of general availability), so standards/expectations have been loosened quite a bit.
Want Me to Analyze Your Portfolio? Round 10
Posted on 13 July 2014 by Andrei
Someone emailed me to ask if I’m still offering portfolio reviews and I realized my previous post was written back in April. No time like the present to fix that, time for round 10! As usual, I won’t write a novel about the portfolio, I’ll simply share my 2 cents and let you know:
38 GoDaddy Discount Codes
Posted on 12 July 2014 by Andrei
Great week for coupon enthusiasts, I’ll be sharing 38 discount codes with you guys today. 23 of them should work internationally (so not just for people from the US/Canada) and as far as the remaining ones are concerned, I’m not sure.
