How long should domain investors be willing to renew domain names?
Written by: Alvin Brown

It’s the $64,000 — perhaps million dollar — question most domain investors ask or ponder from time to time when purchasing and renewing domains.

If you’re a domain investor, and this question hasn’t crossed your mind, then you’re likely wasting money, time, and effort calling yourself domain investing.

With almost a decade of domain investing under my belt now, I’ve learned the importance of answering this question and operating my domain investing business to strict adherence of strategic timeline for each and every investment.

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.

How to Renew Domains using GoDaddy Domains API

May 1, 2019 No Comments
Written by: Alvin Brown

It’s been a while since I graced you all with a tutorial using GoDaddy’s Aftermarket API.

In one of my accounts, I discovered the Discount Domain Club product that should have auto renewed hadn’t as well as one domain. What I don’t know is how long this glitch has been happening?
