Here's the The Lowdown from DN Journal,
updated daily
to fill you in on the latest buzz going around the domain name industry. 

The Lowdown is compiled by DN Journal Editor & Publisher Ron Jackson.

Jacob Fedosky's Fast Track From Teenage Domainer to Corporate Director of  Domain Development 

One thing I've always loved about the domain business is that it offers great opportunities to everyone. You hear about age discrimination in mainstream business but I've never seen it here. What I have seen is people ranging from 17 to well over 70 that have done well in in this industry. Take 19-year-old Jacob Fedosky for instance. Jacob started buying and developing domains in high school and continued to do so after heading to Texas Tech for college.

Some of you may remember Jacob as the original owner of the Teen Domainer blog that he later sold to Brian Diener. Jacob started another blog at DotJake.com before moving to his current home at JacobFedosky.com. Now, he has taken yet another step in his domain career, having accepted a corporate position as Director of Domain Development for Houston, Texas based web development company Vessio, LLC

Since being founded in 2006 Vessio has deployed hundreds of websites and dynamic components for a global list of companies and organizations of all sizes. Just a couple of weeks ago the company released a new domain development service aimed at domain owners who want to move beyond parking.

Fedosky said that after researching the current solutions being provided in the market, Vessio has identified the positive and negative aspects and tailored a unique service that is accessible and manageable for domain name owners to execute. “Other providers tend to have a single template and each minisite they churn out has a different color scheme and header but the general feel of the site is the same," Fedosky said. "We’re completely customizing each site. Other providers also fill their minisites with sub-par content. Vessio has partnered with a high quality content provider so our developed websites give visitors the information they came to find. With customized designs and quality content, we’re turning domain names into authoritative websites.”

Fedosky added, “As parking revenues continue to fall, domain portfolio owners need a viable solution to earn money from their domain names. Other providers have tried to solve this problem but they have done so in a way that isn't scalable. Vessio isn't developing “minisites” – we’re developing actual websites that provide real value to both domain owners and consumers that access the websites. While we still utilize AdSense for our clients, we don’t depend on it. We also integrate a number of affiliate links and ads. By incorporating several revenue streams into each site, Vessio keeps developed domain names from appearing spammy and in turn produces results."

Vessio can add “for sale” banners on websites they develop and Fedosky promised competitive pricing and special  incentives on bulk orders, so if this is a direction you are interested in exploring Vessio may be worth a close look.
