We’re joined by three Domain Sherpas: Andrew Allemann, Michael Berkens and Page Howe.
This is the show where we discuss industry and Internet news, what the news means to you, and questions from the audience.
In this DomainSherpa Discussion:
- Verisign sues .XYZ and Negari for false advertising
- Verisign also ramps up their marketing of .COM
- The .Blog auction was settled for an estimated $20 million
- .Shabaka preliminary renewals coming in a 55%
- NamesCon.Vegas ridiculously low registration cost of $199 (for 2 days)
- Reader question: are new gTLDs still worth investing in?
- And much more!

The first round of new gTLD’s are going to drop shortly
In the case of premium gTLD’s how will we know the renewal fees?
$55,000 for Clothing.sale
Glad I did not sell Ringsale.com
Having said that, I was wondering what happened to wine.club
Seems like it it just a parked page.
Nice
In regards to the .xyz statement “It’s impossible to find a .com domain name,” domainers know that the statement isn’t true but end users don’t. I think that’s the issue. End users are going to take that statement at face value. Similarly, Verisign couldn’t come out and make the statemtent “it’s impossible to build a business on anything but a .com.” It just wouldn’t be true.
It’s so cold that I regged a .xyz …….. hand reg yesterday was VoiceOption.Com
Thank you all for the upload.
It is so cold…..that all domain registrations/transactions froze
Cheers
Another awesome show guys. Would love to Rick back again. Heard he finally invested in new TLDs. Thanks for my curious mind’s question answer ;)
This show is good and Andrew is a nice addition but you really need to bring back Adam Dicker to this show. It’s not the same without Adam.
Michael……
As always another great show. Thanks Sherpas!!

great show mike/sherpas.
Could the VeriSign competition for finding good available names be used as evidence? After all they must have dropped a bundle to pay the guys from Shark Tank to choose the winners.
