Domain Name Resellers Still In Business (Barely)
from the bubble-businesses dept
Remember domain name speculators? Those people who would buy up domain names they thought would be popular and try to resell them at a huge markup? With the exception of New Zealand, those days appear to be long gone. However, there are still a few domain name resellers out there, trying to make a living. The prices have dropped drastically, and no one is expecting to see any more multi-million dollar domain name sales. However, those running the reselling sites, still say they see some business, but at much lower dollar values.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
