An update on the domain name business

The shortest month of the year has passed and a lot happened in the domain name business during it.

Is the Verisign lawsuit with XYZ finally over? What are U.S. Antitrust forces looking for with .web? What went wrong with .Art's launch?

These are some of the questions that we gained insight into last month as I reported on Domain Name Wire.

Let's take a look back at the top stories on DNW from February (ranked by views):

1. Sell more domain names! – DNW Podcast #124 - It's not often that a podcast is our top story for the month, but Jeff Gabriel's discussion about selling more domain names is proving to be very popular.

2. Delayed.art: .Art domain name launch shuts down over technical difficulties - It seems that one of the technical difficulties is that people were able to register domain names the registry meant to reserve.

3. PayPal increases fees for international transactions - The cost of receiving overseas payments for domain names via PayPal is going up.

4. Breaking: Verisign loses appeal in .XYZ lawsuit - What happens next is up to Verisign. Hopefully, the domain industry can put this case behind it.

5. U.S. Antitrust Division investigating Verisign running .Web - The inquiry is related to how Verisign would operate the domain, not the controversial $135 million auction.
