One year out, and another year in! And with a new year, brings a slew of new domain investing opportunities and perspectives to explore.

Over the last 6 months or so, I’ve shared a number of domain interviews from technologists to designers to entrepreneurs to investors to marketplaces and more…

Picking up from where we left off last, one of the latest opportunities to take hold in the domain industry are emoji domains.

Until now, most interviews I’ve covered have highlighted independent investors or traders investing in emoji domains.

It’s the close of yet another productive domain investing week for me (likely you too!), and time to prep for another.

It wasn’t long ago that I reported GoDaddy hosting expiring emoji domain auction lots of nearly 1,200, 650, and 200 in quantity.

Today while reviewing GoDaddy’s emoji domain auctions to expire over the next 7 days, I discovered another tide of emoji domain auctions soon to expire.

From week to week, I receive a number and variety of wide-ranging questions and inquiries pertaining to WordPress websites.

I recently received an inquiry in regards to how easy or difficult it is to password protect an entire WordPress website from the general public.

Of course, there are a number of ways to achieve a fully protected and private WordPress website.

🔥Hot off the press and into my inbox about 30 minutes ago, I received an email from GoDaddy entitled: .Net Price Increase.

To kick off the year, NameJet launched another 80+ emoji domain auctions in its Premium .WS Emoji Domain auction, which debuted December 2017.

PreRelease bids were made and ended a few days ago for 9 single .WS emoji domains.

The same emoji domains are now in Public Auction with hours remaining until auctions end.

Back to life and back to… wait for it… a blank WordPress website. 😱

That’s not how this song is suppose to go, per Soul II Soul. It’s suppose to be back to life, back to reality.

Nevertheless, this unfortunate, stark reality of a potential customer stating their website loaded a blank white screen came by way of a frantic call a few days ago.

What in the world could and would cause a WordPress website to load with HTTP 200 response, yet load a white screen?

Although there are many things that could cause a WordPress website white or blank screen to be loaded, I’m sharing with you the top 6 items to check.

A few weeks ago, you may recall I shared that GoDaddy added “Watcher” data to buy-it-now and closeout expired domain auctions.

No sooner than I shared my finding with the domain community, Andrew Allemann wrote an article expressing his concern and hopes that GoDaddy would NOT add watcher data to entire aftermarket platform.

And what a stirring of emotion both articles tapped into with an outpouring cry of dissatisfaction from the domain community about GoDaddy’s beta testing of such a feature.

But one of the comments from Andrew’s article left by Jamie Zoch peaked my interest.
