Today
in The
Lowdown: Fireworks
weren't confined to the sky over America's 4th of July holiday weekend. The
domain aftermarket was getting lit up too with the biggest blast coming Sunday
morning when we learned that Hilco Digital brokered a $1.5 million
sale of Sword.com for Braden Pollock with Brannans.com
representing the buyer. This gives Hilco Digital 3 of the year's 4 biggest
publicly reported domain sales to date.
Also
inside: It looks like everybody hit the domain
aftermarket dance floor over the past couple of weeks. Led by a 7-figure .com sale and the year's biggest sales to date in both the
ccTLD and Non .com gTLD categories - the joint has been rocking!
The top two sales on our latest Top 20 Sales
Chart total over $2 million.

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 a
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 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

Domain
Summit Founder Helmuts Meskonis has produced
successful conferences in London for
each of the past three years. In that
situation most would stick with a formula
that has been working but this year Meskonis
decided it was time to break out of that
comfortable orbit an shoot for the stars.
That's why a lot will be different about Domain
Summit 2025 that is coming up September
2nd & 3rd, 2025 in the UK capital.
The show is moving to a new venue with a
revised format and an expanded brand in
Domain Summit Europe. The latter is part of
a global expansion that Meskonis
started when he recently announced a Domain
Summit will be held in Africa next
February with another coming to America
in 2027. We connect with him to hear all
about his plans for London and
beyond. Full

ICANN
will be launching a second round of new
generic Top
Level Domains (gTLDs) next
year, a follow up to the original 2012 round
that add hundreds of domain extensions to
the Internet. Millions of dollars were spent
by entrepreneurs who dreamed of running
their own TLD. That will again be the case
in round two but long before ICANN launched
their new gTLD program there was (and still
is) another way to run an entire
extension. That path is to get a contract
with a national government to operate and
expand their ccTLD with .ai, .io.
.co, .tv among the successful examples
of that strategy. It is not easy to make
that kind of deal but one of the latest
entrepreneurs to do it (with Cape Verde's
.cv) tells us what it took to
get it done and what his company is
doing with .cv now. Full
