If you’re a domainer, you’ve most likely received quite a few emails from the (in)famous Alex. Not only that but you’re probably receiving emails about the same domain more than once.

Two Quick Domaining Security Tips
Posted on 23 January 2012 by Andrei
As a domainer, you have several important accounts, from accounts at various registrars to PayPal accounts or email accounts and so on. Sure, it’s convenient to use the same password for all of them but if you’re serious about domaining… don’t. Just don’t.
Will Google, Facebook, Twitter and Amazon Shut Down?
Posted on 08 January 2012 by Andrei
… it seems that according to ExtremeTech.com, this might happen as a protest against SOPA. I have to admit, I’m pretty impressed. The online community is clearly against SOPA and people are taking action accordingly.

Verisign 2012 Price Increase Coming Soon – Renew Your Domains!
Posted on 29 December 2011 by Andrei
Just a friendly reminder: don’t forget about Verisign’s 2012 price increase. If you want to renew a bunch of domains, I’d recommend doing it before the price increase kicks in. Based on my experience, most registrars (at the very least those operating on thin margins and which would lose money by keeping their current prices) will start charging more, so there’s no time like the present to take action.

Always Use a Coupon, Being a Cheap Bastard Is Worth It!
Posted on 21 December 2011 by Andrei
Most registrars ask whether or not you want to use a coupon at one point or another during the checkout process and I don’t understand why some people underestimate the importance of using coupons. The more domains you have, the more sense it makes to use coupons.
A simple rule: whenever you want to register, renew or transfer domains, check out LiveCodes for a GoDaddy coupon or DomainPromoCodes.com for domain coupons. That’s it, you will always be able to find decent deals for pretty much everything you need and it only takes a few seconds.
No Love for Tajikistan.com and Congressman.com at NameJet
Posted on 07 November 2011 by Andrei
The two domains (owned by Tucows) did not sell at NameJet, “Reserve Not Met” in both cases. 175 bids by 165 bidders generated a high bid of $10,600 for Tajikistan.com, while 182 bids from 169 bidders generated a high bid of $8,599 for Congressman.com.
Random Sunday Question: On a Scale of One to Ten…
Posted on 09 October 2011 by Andrei
… how would you rate your current involvement in the domaining industry at this point and how would you like things to stand in the future? 1 would mean something like “not even a hobby” whereas 10 would mean something like “full time” in an obsessive compulsive way haha.

Remove Sites You Don’t Control from Google?
Posted on 20 July 2011 by Andrei
Yep, this guy found out how and posted about the method on his blog. Needless to say, Google fixed this glitch but in my opinion, reading such posts is important because they make it clear that not even HUGE players like Google are perfect.
