Before You Hit Renew All, Run This 10-Minute Audit

Before You Hit Renew All, Run This 10-Minute Audit

There's a name I renewed five years in a row before I admitted it was a bad buy. Actually more than one. That's the thing about renewal season. It tells the truth whether you're ready for it or not. A portfolio looks great when you're buying one name at a time. Ten bucks here, twelve there, a closeout you couldn't pass up, a hand reg you grabbed because a trend looked like it was heating up. Each decision is small. Then the renewal bill shows up and all those small decisions arrive as one big number, and you're sitting there doing math you'd rather not do.

I Tried Michael Cyger's Notify.Domains for a Week

I've got a soft spot for tools that solve an actual domain problem without dressing it up as something bigger than it is. So when I saw Michael Cyger's Notify.Domains , I signed up for the free week and pointed it at buildready.com just to see what it'd do. The pitch is simple enough. You hand it a domain, and it watches. Not just the expiration date, which is the thing most of us think about, but a whole spread of signals underneath that.

Why Are Number Domains So Popular in China?

Why Are Number Domains So Popular in China?

I've always been curious about number domains. Most of us in this business are trained to think in words. We like one-word .coms, the strong two-word combos, short brandables, the occasional category killer, names that pass the radio test. Then you look at China and you see 360.com , 58.com , 1688.com , 4399.com , 2345.com , 12306.cn , all sitting under real companies and platforms that millions of people use every day.

Why Investors Look at Registered TLD Count as a Domain Signal

A popular key many domainers, including myself, use when sizing up a keyword is check how many extensions are already registered. Takes about ten seconds and it's become a reflex. You could call it a vanity metric. Who cares if the .net, .org, .io, .co, .ai and twenty other versions are gone? You only own the one you own. Fair enough. But after enough years doing this, I've found the registered count tells me something, just not the thing people assume. It's not a valuation tool.

Domains Vibe Coders Are Actually Launching On

Domains Vibe Coders Are Actually Launching On

The interesting thing about vibe coding isn't what people are building. It's what they're building on. We spend a lot of time in this business chasing the perfect name. The exact match. The clean .com. The short brandable that passes the radio test, the billboard test, and three other tests somebody invented on a forum twenty years ago. Vibe coders aren't playing that game. They're not asking what the best possible domain is for the next ten years.
