That’s a question every domain investor should answer without stammering and without fail. Whether we want to admit it or not, we’re all going to die! 😳

None of us will live forever, although our portfolio could likely continue until the end of time should a proper plan be in place to allow for such a thing to happen.

And because our domain portfolios could and will live on, don’t you think it’s worth all the time and money you’ve invested in ensuring your domain portfolio is managed well beyond death or disability?

Today’s tutorial is not really anything to write home about, but it could save you a bit of time.

And if not save you time, then you’ll certainly learn how to check the availability of a domain name using a method other than a web browser.

You’ll certainly love these two methods if you check as many domains during a given day as I do.

I wanted to deliver this post at the beginning of the week, but it’s better late than never, I guess. 

It’s been an interesting week over at GoDaddy for expired domain auctions.

There has been an uptick of expiring domain auctions containing the word “blockchain”.

Talk about unfortunate or impeccable timing for whoever has allowed such domains to expire!

Then again, it could be a ploy to simply gauge domain interest and value only to have the owner retain ownership by renewing late in the expiry process. 

Only time will tell… but what we do know is…

Here lately, my inbox has been inundated with emails referencing wanting to send me, rather my company, business if I would click a link and join Alignable.com.

As I would soon learn, Alignable.com is a small business networking website providing a path to customer referrals, recommendations, and local business insights.

I ignored the first couple of emails until I began receiving the same emails from well-known domainers.

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 various 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.
