NamePros.com the largest Domaining forum is out and down again.

NamePros is down again for this month with problems from the datacenter. Many place have been getting DDOS attacks and I suspect this might be the reason. For now, no reason has been given at this time, But when I am updated or Find out info I will post it.

For now you can go sign up and chat over at http://InSightDomain.com

You know ho when you buy a car you have to have insurance its the law. When you are driving you have to have license its the law. But what laws are there for domaining? I am not talking about cybersquatting or something small. I am talking about laws t prevent you getting over run.

What about a law to prevent you from buying a x,xxx domain for sale that has stats but when you park it or develop it you do not see the results. You have no one to protect you from this. This can really be an issue when buying an expensive domain.

Do the Research on every domain.
If you are buying a developed name, make sure its been developed the right way, not ban from google, wasn’t thrown together in an hour and put up for sale. if you want to start out fresh then you have nothing to worry about.

If its to good to be true?
Then it probably is, remember that all good things come in time and do not happen over night. You have to work for what you get just like anywhere else. Choose your options carefully to get the most out of what you want.

You have the ICANN to do some of the work to protect you, and some state laws cover you, But what if you need some help with the law? Get a Lawyer that specializes in the domaining/online industry.

In Part 2 I will explore the laws you do have that protects you from State laws to ICANN and more information to help you keep your safe from getting the law used on you and protecting yourself on the internet.

Thank.

DnWords.com has served me well, but I am wanting to expand what I write about and I think that DnWords.com is limiting what I write about. This is my home away from Namepros chat and I really do like to write about other things then just domains names, like NamePros, Auctions that going on, and Expanding my criteria to write on, also getting more people to come to the new site.

DnWords, is a good domain and in a few weeks will go up forsale. Te domain has over 900 backlinks and building more each day.

Generic domains are domains that domains that are unique. These domains can not be trademarked or copyrighted. These domains are word likes CardGames.com, Downloading.com. The Domains that are labled “Generic are phrases, Title of your job like RealEstate Agent. But these places could also be dictionary or places.  These domains are sometime labeled as “Preium domain names. Domains like tis are not usually able to be trademarked cause they are so common in the world.  Generic domains can be used in an array of extentions but most commonly used for .com. The most popular extention in the world. Generic domains is also a marketing advantage because these domains are common, user remember them more easily.

You can Still find some Generic Domains available from drop list or hand regs if you search but I do not thing to many are still available. THey are populur and Great Branding when running a website that deals with the certain subject like I think Say Google Bought Search.com or mcDonalds bought Hamburger.com.

Technorati Profile

We all know about the Major Players in Domaining forums. So I have made my own. InsightDomain.com But we will get to that later. right now I want to focus on the top three major forums for domains and site sells. Then I will move on to some smaller ones I like to go to.
NamePros
DigitalPoint
DnForum

NamePros
While the forums look good activity is high, you wont be selling your 20k domains there. NamePros has allot of new people to the domaining industry and it a great place to stat out and learn, With members, and staff willing to help you can always count on some help. THey also have a Live Auction every 2 weeks which sells allot. You can buy domains with NP$ (the forums money)

DigitalPoint

Not one of my favorite places to go but they do have allot of website forsale and is a great place to search if you need a site. Watchout because you will be banned quick or scammed quicker.  Yes, let it be know you will get scammed and then banned at DP. You might can sell something but you might get charged back after its done.

DnForum

A place I hardly go to. The Site is a well known forum for domaining, but Like Domaining.com they charge for a membership. I do hate that they do that, and I think they would be bigger if they didnt. But atleast they are still alive.

Some other Place

DomainState.com – Great forum kinda old but thats how the owner want it. They dont want the new stuff they want the old that works. They have a chat also and forums for everything, A Perfect place to get info.

NamesLot.com – A small little forum based off MYBB forum software that is getting more active by the month and doing well. A great place to browse for quick deals.

InsightDomain.com – A great little domaining forum that just started and will be getting better, with a chat to talk in, you can talk about everything here. 1 admin to keep the place going and rules are bendable unless you scam. This forum was created of a mix between DP and NP.

Also I would love to point out a place I found while browsering the web and I LOVE it.

http://EverythingDomain.com – a Great site.

The Overview

Will 2009 bring wealth for domainers? We are hopping prices of domains goes back up. But will 2009 show improvements for Domainers. Will Obama make it harder for domains to go back up.

We will see major changes in 2009 along with new projects some good some back. We will also see prices flux as normal I think for 2009 prices will jump during the summer but drop again in the fall around the holidays.

The plan

Do you have a back up plan if you do not sell your domains? My Plan is to develop all of my domains and use those ads and links as sources of money as well as selling the developedsite I have made and make more. I am not only a domainer. I also do web hosting developing and domain. I also have a day time job.   You need to have a plan when all else fails. Are you prepared?

The Future

I think with change comes power changes and the worse has yet to come. Be prepared when you you are domaining for stuff to happen. You need to have some other plans then just buy and sell domains, or just develop sites. You can not rely on google and yahoo for your traffic you nee to consistently advertise your sites. You need to have the layout changes You need to edit your content to to be reindexed. You need to post about changes start email, You need to offer more. Have many sources of revenue rather then one or two.

This is a follow up: After I wrote this Domaining.com Decides to restore your account and give it to you for free. Why? because they seen the loss that they was taking. Just wanted to inform everyone you will get a newsletter.

When I woke up this morning I check my e-mail and found another email from the all popular Domaining.com. It said Your “Domaining.com account has been closed” I opened it and come to find out. Domaining.com will be charging $35/year to get the newsletter. Which kinda sucks cause I am not paying that.

The newletter s helpful but I will just search each blog they had listed and get the RSS or a newletter from them. I already have other Newsletters coming my way. So I still get the same information for free.

They are just trying to make a check and I think its wrong, where has all the morals gone when domaining. Flipping a domain is fine, but chargeing to get newsletter and have an account at Domaining.com the only thing I used at domaining.com was the newsletter.

With that said Good Luck to anyone that pays the 35 bucks.

Namepros launched there Holiday parting starting at 5 PM EST and lasting until 5AM EST which ended about 30 mins ago, Music, talk, raffle, many prizes and about 100 users gathering to have a good time in chat. The party kicked off with music from Radio NamePros and kept going all 12 long, Many new people joined in the chat just t chill and have a good time. There was also a live voice chat available and user gathered in there with mics to talk without typing.

There was drawing and raffles going on al day/night long. Prizes included domains, hosting, custom work, links, NP and more. NPQueen kept the party alive by chatting all 12 hour of it and doing shout outs on the radio.

The next party will have a bigger turn out I think. It will probaly be more fun also.
