Deep dives
Ontime.co Auction Success
Ontime.co, a domain acquired in 2020 for $1250, recently sold for $9900, representing an eightfold ROI. The domain found a fitting end-user in a company focusing on timely bill payments, showcasing the potential of well-chosen domain investments over time.
Favorite Domain Picks in the Name Jet Segment
EasyBill stands out as a preferred choice due to its relevance and branding potential for streamlined payment solutions. Forgiveness.org, while not likely a high-resale domain, resonates for its impactful concept and suitability for altruistic endeavors. In contrast, the generic term MobilePayment feels too broad for effective brand representation, highlighting the challenge of branding around overly generic terms.
Evaluation on Domain Choices
Domain choices such as EasyBill and Forgiveness.org demonstrate the power of meaningful and focused domain names for specific industries or causes. The importance of balance between broad generic terms like MobilePayment and the potential for successful brand establishment is highlighted, emphasizing the value in strategic domain selection.

The speakers share insights on strategic domain name choices, such as 'The Pantry' and 'Stone Design', highlighting the importance of brandable and positive words that can impact pricing. They delve into the complexities of domain trading, critiquing names like 'Presumptuous.com' and assessing potential values based on industry trends and word connotations.
Integration of Pickleball and Domain Meetup
The conversation shifts towards integrating pickleball activities with domain meetups, brainstorming ideas for a North Florida domain conference. The speakers propose a fun event combining domain discussions, golf, pickleball, and casual activities like a 'domain game' followed by rounds of par three golf and pickleball matches. They envision a social gathering in October or November to capitalize on optimal weather conditions for an engaging and inclusive meetup.
