Hello, happy Monday, and welcome to my weekly roundup of news from the domain name investing world. You might notice that it’s Monday, not Friday, which is where you’ve usually read these updates. I’m doing a little test to see which day performs better, so expect to see this here on Monday’s for a little bit.
Just thinking of myself, I find I’m a lot more switched on and interested in diving into news at the beginning of the week vs. the end of the week when I’m ready to wind things down. But that could just be me. I’m a numbers guy so I’ll let the traffic numbers tell me the answer. Okay, enough of me, let’s get to the news!
