Mark Zuckerberg on the best advice Peter Thiel ever gave him “Peter was the person who told me this really pithy quote that, ‘In a world that’s changing so quickly, the biggest risk you can take is not taking any risk.’ And I really think that that is true.” Mark continues: “Whenever you get yourself into a position where you have to make some big shift in direction or do something, there are always people who are going to point to the downside risks of that decision — and locally they may be right. For any given decision you make, there’s upside and downside. But in aggregate, if you are stagnant and you don’t make those changes, then I think you’re guaranteed to fail and not catch up. So to some degree, I think it’s really right that, over time, the biggest risk you can take is to not take any risks.” Video source: @ycombinator (2016)

Considering moving a few hundred domains away from Spaceship. Trying to transfer away a sold domain and the auth code is ‘wrong.’ Support says it’ll take a couple of days to refresh. That’s… not acceptable. @spaceship

Acquired SiberianHusky.com today. Blog will be retired and the domain will be listed for sale.

@ScalerSohom Thanks

We've just sold ZeroAPR.com through Dan.com for a cool $15,000 USD! #DomainSales

I still can't believe they named a company GoDaddy

@DomainGang @Sedo Great domain!

Another #Sedo sale was reported today: invibe .com was sold for $7,500 USD #DomainSales .@Sedo

@MetaverseWorld @namecheapceo123 If AI wrote that, I’d be impressed. Just me, though.

@BetterNameCom @namecheapceo123 Ai reply.

Hey everyone — I’ve seen a few of you wondering why I updated my handle. I’m in the middle of transitioning to a new one. Why the change? As part of the sale to our partners at CVC, I decided early on that I did not want to remain CEO. I’ve led this company for more than 25 years of my life, and it felt like the right time to take a step back. I’ve been an entrepreneur for most of my adult life, and frankly, I’m a bit of a rebel — I’m just not built to report upward. That said, when I made this decision, I strongly recommended that my longtime partner on this journey, Hillan Klein, who has been our COO for the last 12 years, step into the CEO role. He’s been an exceptional partner and leader, and I have absolute confidence in his ability to take the company to the next level. He’s also deeply part of our DNA, which mattered a lot to me. So what will I do? I’m not fading into the sunset. I still love this company, and I’m still the largest private individual shareholder — so I care deeply about what happens next. My focus will be on our customers and on continuing to build our products alongside our engineering and product teams. As Chief of Strategy and Innovation, I’ll also continue working closely with Hillan on defining our future path and growth. I’m especially focused on accelerating the momentum we’ve started with Spaceship, and applying those learnings and technologies to Namecheap so our flagship continues to thrive. I’ll still be here — just in a better place for me, doing what I love most: building, and staying as close as possible to our customers. Onwards and upwards. 🚀

Found this today: How GoDaddy Built a Domain Monopoly Through Acquisition Interesting perspective on consolidation in domains. soliman.com/how-godaddy-bu…

Great read on why .xyz is becoming one of the most avoided extensions. The tax.xyz $1,100 renewal says it all. Interesting article 👇 soliman.com/why-xyz-is-bec… #domains #domaining #tlds #xyz

Looking for .com domains that include the word “deals”. List them here in the replies 👇

@afternic Not same day. Look at the search top page, this is not same day emails😁

One seller. Twenty-two Afternic sales. Thirty-one minutes. 🔥

SugarDrop.com closed at $2,000 in a Dynadot expired auction yesterday. What do you think of this domain?

Sav.com is the worst registrar I’ve ever used. Been trying to log in for 30+ minutes across 4 browsers — every time I enter the OTP it just kicks me back to the homepage without signing me in. Absolute trash experience. @usesav @usesavHelp

Does anyone know if Escrow.com sends a 1099 form to U.S. residents?

Job.com, the AI-powered recruiting platform, filed for Chapter 11 on July 6 in Delaware. Revenue fell from $100M (2022) to $33M (2024). Sale planned under §363. 👉 thestreet.com/retail/another… #HRTech #Recruitment #AI #JobSearch #TechNews #Bankruptcy #Domains
