It’s not very often you stumble upon a domain hobbyist that has played a critical role in the innovation and automation of domain registration and web hosting services, to say the least.

But today’s guest, Rolf Larsen, not only played a critical role, but is recognized as a long-standing pioneer of Internet access, Domain name registrar and Web Hosting services throughout Europe and Scandinavia, and onto the greater globe.

Yup, you know what time it is, right? That’s right! It’s time for Verisign’s Top Trending Keywords Report.

Today, I’ve compiled June’s trending keywords registered for .com and .net domains.

It’s time to snap to it with today’s randomly selected domain auctions from SnapNames.com.

This randomly selected list of domains focuses primarily on keyword domains in auction.

It’s likely I’ll mix in random geo domain auction lists from time to time. I wish you the best in bidding.

Below is a hand-picked list of quick-pick domains with NO bids. There are a few sleepers on the list worth NOT BIDDING on, and allowing to enter into buy-it-now closeout status.

Attempting to allow domains with no bids to close in auction can be a bit risky. Once domains enter buy-it-now closeout status is also risky too.

I enjoy sniping and flipping expired domains at $5 pricing (really $13 after renewing it for a year), but be wise and don’t lose out on a good domain in an attempt to wait it out.

As always do your homework and research each domain before you commit to bidding and buying.

Below is a compiled list of expiring emoji domain auctions. This specific auction list may not become a norm, so enjoy it while it lasts.

For expiring emoji domain auctions with bids, I’ve included emoji. For auctions without bids at the time of this writing, emoji not included, but do feel free to use PunyCoder.com (copy and paste the list).

That’s all for today. Let’s move onto today’s emoji domain auctions.
