Escrow for Domain Names and a lot more. I recently sold a domain name to a foreign buyer that wasn't familiar with the escrow process. It's really just as simple as depicted in the image below, but with their unfamiliarity, I can see how they could be skeptical, so I walked them through the whole process.
A couple of items not represented in the images are number one, make sure your buyer chooses the right email address for your transaction. Most people have at least a work and personal email address. It's always good to ask before you start your transaction. The second concern is for the seller. Sometimes when a buyer receives their goods they don't always follow up to verify that they have possession. You can rest assured that Escrow.com can verify the domain name transfer without any action by the buyer, it just takes a few day longer. Escrow.com has been in the business for over 25 years and they began with handling domain name transactions. They truly are the industry leader. They provide services for just about every other transaction as well payment plans.
June 2019 Reported Domain Sales For those of you that are not in-tune with the domain industry, here are some recent domain name sales that have been topping this summer's domain charts. Please keep in mind that only a very small fraction of sales ever get reported. Orion.com changed hands, but the price was unreported, rumor has it that it sold above 30m. Prices have been rising for great domain names.

I found 2 articles on Domaining.com that I thought I would pass along to share. I follow all of these blogs and they help me stay in tune with the pulse of the industry.
This is a TED talk about the Carvertise.com story. From the business owner's perspective and a savvy domain owner. Not going to spoil it, just enjoy the presentation.
The second article comes from Morgan Linton's blog about the frequency of 6 and 7 figure domain name sales. Large sales are more common than you think and often under reported.
After Memorial Day is usually a slower season, but not so this year. Sales are up, and heating up. Check out the rest of domain names I have for sale here.
Or The Spiritual Laws of the Universe I just had to make one more post to pass along. I would like to share this book with everyone. In the book Deepak Chopra expresses with the simplicity of nature our connection and mechanisms for a closer relationship with divinity. It truly is a life altering book that will change more than your perspective. Thank you Deepak!

Busy Developing Domain Names This will be my last post for awhile. About a year ago I formed BHKO LLC with a focus on vacation rentals and real estate sales.

Use us solely or in conjunction with your existing property management company or link to their system. We have a full reservation system available and you can share your property with just a click.

Exact Matching Domain Names The most valuable domain names are exact matching domain names. An EMD is the perfect match to the business that you're in or the traffic you would like to attract. The value of these domains are not only investment grade, they are the key to your brand protection going forward. There has been several articles on Forbes.com by Michael Gargiulo the CEO at VPN.com about domain name valuations. Adding my 2 cents, the future is now and it's all about the digital side of your business. Get an exact matching domain name that suits your market, only buy a .com extension and make sure your site works seamlessly on mobile devices. Here's a few very strong EMD's that I have for sale: SouthernHomes.com KeyInsight.com GulfSportfishing.com LongLashes.com DatabaseTools.com Use the Contact page or call (770)714-7840 to discuss the options.

Introducing FormX, a revolutionary addition to XMod Pro. I don't usually get to technical in these articles, but for all my DotNetNuke developer friends using XMod Pro, you need to get a copy of FormX from Reflect Media Group. FormX allows you to build XMod templates that permit adding and editing in the list view, or In-line editing, without a page reload. It's amazingly fast and you won't be able to go back to regular forms again, it would be like giving up broad band for dial up.
Get your copy from the DNN Store. And, make sure to checkout the samples under recipes in the documentation. Easy to use and install. Excellent tutorials are available.
