And just like that… it’s the second week of the month and you know what time it is, right? That’s right! It’s time for Verisign’s Top Trending Keywords Report. Continue reading
Naming a product, service, company, or project can be very time consuming, to say the least. In fact, sometimes selecting a name can be more challenging that actually executing the idea.
Nothing kills the mood like checking the domain availability only to find out that someone else had your same thought and beat you to it first. Now what? Continue reading
I awakened this morning to discover a video from longtime domain investor and pioneer, Rick Schwartz, in my Twitter feed. From the looks and sounds of it, Rick Schwartz is launching his next venture: vlogging.

It’s been a while since I graced you all with a tutorial using GoDaddy’s Aftermarket API.
In fact, I haven’t written a tutorial since the one about retrieving a list of GoDaddy domains you own.
