Today
in The
Lowdown: After a
17-month break NamesCon Global is back with next week's 2025 conference
coming to one of the world's most glamorous cities in Miami - and
it comes at a time of year when people from all over the globe flock to Florida
for its endless summer. When it's time for NamesCon that means it's also time
for another big live & online digital asset auction from
RightOfTheDot.com.
Also
inside: Another powerful performance from the domain aftermarket
produced five 6-figure sales, including two that passed the $700,000 mark. We
saw the highest sales ever reported in the .ai and .tv TLDs,
giving the ccTLDs two of the top three sales. They took 7 places overall but the
.coms still claimed the majority of the leader
board with 11 charted sales.

How
a $3,000 Domain Sale Kept Larry Fischer in The Game and Led to a Legendary
Career Filled With Multi-Million Dollar Deals
|
|
Mild-mannered domain industry pioneer Larry
Fischer has played a key role in many of the biggest domain sales of all
time, including Chat.com at $15.5 million and Home.com at an
undisclosed price but also likely in the 8-figure range (both of those in tandem
with Larry's friend and fellow super broker Andrew Miller). There have
been countless others with Larry's primary partner, Ari Goldberger, as
well solo sales from his base at GetYourDomain.com. As
of this writing, Larry also has 2025's second highest publicly reported domain sale of the
year to date in Commerce.com at $2.2 million. So what
is it about this easy going, unassuming guy - a real world Clark Kent -
that turns him into Superman when it's time to close big sales? Full

At
the June 2024 NamesCon Global conference I
saw a huge banner promoting a new
company, OpusDNS, that didn't launch
until 16 months later (October 1,
2025). Soon after seeing the banner I
bumped into Robbie Birkner, one of
the industry's ultimate pros who has been in
the business for 25 years. When I asked the
Hexonet Co-Founder what he was working on
now he pointed up to the OpusDNS banner.
I said, "That's you?!" He
confirmed it was indeed and that he was
teaming up with another revered industry
pioneer, Hakan Ali, who co-founded
InterNetX in 1998 to - in Hakan's
own words - "reimagine domain
management from the ground up." That's
a tall order but with those two involved, my
first thought was "if they can't do it,
nobody can." Full
