A great one is hard to forget.”

Men.com, Candy.com, iReport.com and Punchbowl.com followed, each sold to the company that should have owned it from day one. Co-founder of the T.R.A.F.F.I.C. conferences. Today, rather than simply selling extraordinary domains, Rick is putting them to work. Partners, joint ventures, long-term leases and other innovative ideas are welcome.

“

Your domain isn't just where your website lives. It's your digital headquarters.

A marginal domain suggests you are a marginal company.

It's not that the price of my domain is too high. It's just that your idea for its use is too small.

I would rather overpay for quality and location than get a bargain on shit.
