Today
in The
Lowdown:
The 2024 Domain Days Dubai
(DDD) closed Wednesday evening with a yacht cruise that brought the curtain down on the the second annual event. DDD was created to focus on the Middle East & Africa
region but others from around the world were also immediately attracted to the event to make connections in that rapidly growing market.
Also
inside:
The domain aftermarket has a new 2024
King of the Hill, a $14 million blockbuster that almost doubled the price paid for the previous YTD chart topper. We also saw three strong six-figure sales and solid
strength throughout the market with ccTLDs putting five sales on the
all-extension Top 20 Sales Chart and
the non .com gTLDs adding two
others.

The
Big Bang Moment for Domain Investing - How the 1st TRAFFIC Conference Ignited a
New Industry 20 Years Ago
|
|
In October of 2004 the historic
first domain conference in a game changing series of TRAFFIC shows
was staged at the Delray Beach Marriott in Florida. When it was
over, the headline for our review of the first ever major event for
domain investors and the small number of service providers that existed at that
time was "Successful Trade Show Heralds the Start of a New Era For
the Domain Industry" - and that is exactly what TRAFFIC 2024 did.
That event was the start of a 10-year
run of 28 shows that spread from Delray Beach across the United States,
then internationally. TRAFFIC was also the spark that ignited a
constellation of new conferences that sprouted after that first show proved
the concept could work. On the 20th anniversary of its launch, we took a look
back at that seminal event and how it proved to be the seed from
which the domain investment industry and community we have today
sprouted. Full

Kate
Buckley has been lighting up
domain sales charts with top tier
transitions for over 25 years now. In
2018, we published an in depth cover story
about the prolific domain broker and
consultant that, even now, remains one of
our most frequently visited articles. While
we covered a lot of ground in that piece,
going all the way back to the 9th generation
Kentuckian's birth, everyone knew there
would be much more to write about
Kate in the years ahead.
With
the arrival of Defining.com,
a full service domain
brokerage and branding agency
that she recently launched with new partner,
veteran branding expert Todd Henderson,
this was clearly the time to update the Kate
chronicles.

The
domain industry is fortunate to have a lot
of people who go out of their way to help
others, so it is especially gratifying
to see one of their own dreams be realized.
At the beginning of this year, that
happened for industry veteran Shaun
Wilkinson, whose vision of
opening a sorely needed high school for
children in Mombasa, Kenya became a
reality.
Shaun,
who first entered the industry with Sedo
in 2007, began this quest almost 15 years
ago when he went to continue to serve as a volunteer
teacher at a struggling new primary
school there. After helping the school get
established, he set his sites on creating
a secondary school where those kids
could afford to continue their education and
better their lives as well of those of their
families. With some help from his domain
industry friends, the dream has now come
true.
