Marco used credit cards to put 30% down on a $36,000 domain name. Financed at 6%, he used Moniker’s escrow service to purchase Thumbtack.com – before he even had a product!
Jason Calacanis tells you why it was a smart move in this discussion with local services hub Thumbtack.com’s Marco Zappacosta.
Excerpt from This Week In Startups #68.
(Click arrow to play audio clip) Domains as Social Proof.
Takeaways: People who know startups know domains well enough to have an idea of what you paid for it.
Save countless dollars and hours in branding/advertising costs by buying an easy-to-remember domain.
Some registrars (In this case Moniker) will finance your domain acquisition. If you’re not getting traction you can default on the purchase and only be out the down payment.

Here’s the summary for the impatient:
The domains jis.com, Leading.net, Southeast.net and Jaxnet.com are currently in the hands of a person who took control of a managing domain’s account and impersonated its owner.
I’m sure you want the juicy details, so please bear with me for a while, as I take a trip down memory lane.
The year is 1998 and I’ve just landed my first job in the US.
The company name: Leading Network Solutions – headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida.

When Rick Latona & co stormed into the domain auction game with sealing a deal to organize the TRAFFIC conferences, I sort of felt Moniker was losing its drive in the live auction game. Fast forward a year or so and I think Moniker is back in full strength. Monte just sent me a list of names that will be auctioned off at NYC Domainfest on August 18th. I’m not affraid to claim that it is probably the best domain auction catalogue I have ever seen, take a look for yourself>

Quinstreet (QNST) just announced today during its conference call that total consideration it paid for acquiring the domain name Insurance.com was $36.5 Million dollars.
$36.5 MILLION Dollars.
It does not appear from the conference call that Quinstreet acquired or even wanted to acquire the business that was formerly under Insurance.com, making this sound like pretty much a straight domain sale.
However “total consideration” can have more than just cash attached to it, like stock and option and a mixture of cash, but we will have to wait to find out all the details.
Many consider Insurance.com the most valuable domain of all and if so it now raises the bar for all domains to a level most in the domain industry would only image.
The question now is will there be a higher domain sale in the next 10 years than this one and if so which domain?

For the longest time Demand Media had the exclusive right to sell premium domains. Now you can buy these names from Name.com and others. Perhaps that's why there was an omission in the Demand Media S-1 disclosure- that is the bullishness on their dotTV franchise. After all they've proved the value of video on ExpertVillage.com, they hired Carson Daly as spokesperson. I wanted to know what

I decided it might be worth a try to try a different parking service. I choose Whypark and did a quick search to see if they had any articles relating to CFD Modeling. They did, so I added the domain to my account and spent about two minutes customizing the page….
- I selected a picture of a data center
- I disabled showing of Google Adsense ads
- I inserted a text link stating the name was for sale
I then updated the nameservers to point the name to Whypark and waited a few minutes for the DNS info to propagate. Here’s what the parked page now looks like….
