Not bad! According to RegistrarStats.com, there were 19,954 dot link registrations yesterday. Dot photo also did well, with 5,196 registrations and the same thing can be said about dot gift (4,392 registrations yesterday).

HallofShame.com

I like the fact that Rick Schwartz is raising awareness through an appropriate domain, HallofShame.com.
As you can see by taking a look at the website, he basically calls out companies that want to unethically obtain an asset that doesn’t belong to them instead of simply negotiating and trying to buy it from the owner.
Dot Net and Dot Org Price Hikes
Posted on 14 June 2013 by Andrei
The registries (PIR aka Public Interest Registry for dot org and Verisign for dot net) will be increasing the price of dot net and dot org domains as of the 1st of July.
Just thought I’d let you guys know so you can make the proper arrangements.
If you can, try to register/renew/transfer domains before the new prices go live.

GoDaddy Disallowing In-Store Credit Use with Certain Coupons
Posted on 17 January 2013 by Andrei
It seems GoDaddy is no longer letting you use in-store credits to pay for purchases for which you use certain coupons (again, certain coupons, not all of them). Just thought I’d let you know in case you were wondering why you’re not able to finalize the checkout process.
