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

That’s not how this song is supposed to go, per Soul II Soul. It’s supposed 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 to have a 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 the 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 piqued my interest.

TWO DAYS into the New Year, and time is quickly running out if you planning on saving 50% and attending NamesCon 2018, the Domain Name Industry’s conference of all conferences to attend.

It’s been anything but a 🍾 Happy New Year 🎉 for me over the last 24 hours. 😔

But hey, all in all, the good Lord saw that I made it from 2017 to 2018. Therefore, I’ll count my blessings! 😉

If new to domaining, then there’s likely a time coming in the near future (if not already present) that you’ll want to know whether or not domains you’re hand registering, or purchasing in auction or private party have traffic.

Although parking revenues are not what they once were a decade or so ago, an easy solution to tracking and identifying your domain traffic is likely parking the domain.

It wasn’t long ago I stumbled upon a NamePro’s thread openly discussing the .ai domain extension, a country code for Anguilla — a British Overseas Territory in the Carribbean, being used to register a fast-growing domain niche: emoji domains.

Like .ws and .to, the .ai extension appeared quite promising to make way for an increasing number of emoji domain registrations until today.

It must be butta’, cuz’ NameJet’s emoji domain auctions are on a roll, JACK! 🤯

🤣🤣🤣

Yesterday 😎.ws set the emoji domain auction bar to a new level with a closing price of $3K+ (and did it in style too!).

And auctions picked up from where things left off yesterday, getting a bit more interesting over at NameJet with today’s emoji domain auctions.
