Staying on top of the latest trends is crucial for success in domain investing. They influence your buying decisions and clue you into the need for price adjustments.

As far back as I can remember, even before I joined the site, NameBio updated its database once each day at midnight. When we re-launched the site in 2015 I continued with that tradition without giving it much thought. Continue reading →

Let me start off by saying thank you! In about 10 hours you all did what we couldn’t do in 10 days. At a little after 2am EST PayPal reversed the bans on the NameBio account as well as all of our personal accounts. Vindication! Continue reading →

Well, you always could… but I certainly didn’t make it obvious or easy. For years users have been sending me reports of private sales through email. I really appreciate that selfless generosity, especially since retail sales data is hard to come by.

We made several changes and improvements to the site over the past few months. None of them really warranted a dedicated announcement post, but they’re starting to pile up and I want to make sure the information gets out there.
