A $16M Cardboard Necklace vs a $10/Year Domain Seen Around the World. One works in a nightclub. The other can build an empire. Saw Kevin O’Leary wearing a $16M trading card around his neck… with security around him. That’s attention. But think about what you’re really looking at. A $16M asset… that does nothing. Generates nothing. Builds nothing. And needs protection just to be worn in public. Now imagine instead it said: Kevin .com or MrWonderful .com Same visibility. But now you’re wearing something that: Can be typed. Can be remembered. Can generate traffic. Can build a brand. Can create a business. One is a static collectible… dependent on market demand. The other is a living asset… that can create demand. One needs security. The other is security. One costs millions to hold. The other can be carried for $10 a year… and compound forever. That’s not a small difference. That’s the difference between a trophy…and an engine. That is why special domain names are the ultimate collectible. #Domains #DomainNames #DigitalAssets #Branding #Entrepreneurship #Marketing #Collectibles

After buying broadcast dotcom for $8,000 in 1997, @mcuban went on a domain name buying spree when he realized he could use simple URLs to route traffic to the site. As a result, he says he now owns democracy dotcom, baseball dotcom, mrpresident dotcom, sandwich dotcom, finalfour dotcom, and more. "You name it, I've bought it."

Expired auctions and a shorter 29-day grace period are launching Monday at @unstoppableweb - read on for details and our full expiration timeline: Note that I sent out a similar post earlier this week that contained outdated details regarding our policy. This post contains the new official policy. We are shortening our grace period from 40 to 29 days to allow for expired auctions at Unstoppable. Don't worry, your domains are not in danger - you have until 12:01am ET on Monday 3/23 to renew any affected domains before we start sending domains to auction. Starting Monday 3/23, domains that enter day 30 of the grace period will be sent to auction. Domains already on day 31+ of grace on 3/23 will not be sent to our auctions. Domains that are sent to expired or closeout auction will not be renewable if they have any bids, to preserve the integrity of auctions and prevent gaming. Domains that don't sell at auction will be released to the registry and will be redeemable for a higher fee during the 30-day redemption period following closeout auctions. Soon we'll also be launching an auctions discovery and bidding interface at Unstoppable. You'll be able to bid on our expired auctions inventory, as well as inventory from partner registrars like Dynadot. Altogether, our expired domain timeline looks like this: Day -30: We send an expiration reminder email Day -7: We attempt to autorenew your domain (if auto-renew is on) and send another reminder email (if autorenew is off) Day 1: Domain is now expired and in the 29-day grace period. We send a third reminder email. Domain is renewable and transferrable at normal price during the grace period. DNS records and forwarding config are wiped, and Unstoppable's nameservers and lander are applied. Day 30: Domain leaves the grace period and is sent to 7-day expired auction. Domain cannot be renewed or transferred if there is any bid in the auction. Day 37: Standard auction closes and domain is transferred to the winner. If the domain has no bids, it will go to 3-day closeout auction. Day 40: Closeout auction ends and domain is transferred to the winner. If the domain has no bids, it's deleted, enters the redemption period, and is renewable for a redemption fee. Day 70: Domain leaves the redemption period, enters pendingDelete status, and is not recoverable until it is released for registration by the registry. ----------- We appreciate your flexibility as we iron out our policies with so many new features coming down the pipe.
