Be Interviewed on DomainSherpa
I’m excited for what the new year will bring, what new people I’ll meet, and what new topics we’ll learn about on DomainSherpa.
My favorite way to meet people is in person, and next week I’ll be in Las Vegas for the third annual NamesCon domain name conference, which promises to be a blockbuster event.
I’m making a list of what I need to do to prepare for next week, so I thought it was a good time to chat with the founders of NamesCon about what’s going to happen, what we need to be ready for, and how we can make the most of the event.
Get a notepad ready, prepare properly, and see you next week!

Discuss code link not working
Hi Tedward,
I don’t understand your comment. What’s a “discuss code link”?
Can you provide a little more detail?
Thanks,
Michael
This will be my first domain conference and I am stoked! Can’t wait for domain sherpa live :)
When will the live auction domains be announced?
Hi Brock – we have over 400 names in the online pre-bidding / online auction on Namejet now. there will be about 125 names selected from that list based on pre-bidding activity, reserve prices met or close to being met, and some other factors. The live list will be set by Saturday or Sunday. The live auction is on Jan 11 at 2 PM PST and the extended auction will continue for all the other names through Jan 21st.
The live bidding link to sign up for live auction bidding if not at Namecon will be up tomorrow and announced all over the domain media, etc.
let me know if you have any more questions.
Thanks Monte!
