New TLDs, five years in

Last week I posted my observations about new top level domain names now that they've been available for five years.

It was amusing to see the responses in the comments section. People interpreted my post in a way to confirm their own opinion; their own tiny version of confirmation bias.

There are certain realities about new top level domains. Ultimately, though, it's not the people reading this newsletter that will determine how much success new TLDs have. It's the users. The people who need a domain name for a website. They are the ones that drive the market.
 

It's the beginning of the month, so let's review the top stories on DNW last month, as ranked by pageviews:
 

1. How I almost lost a domain name this week - Even professional domain owners can let something slip through the cracks. Here's what happened and how to make sure it doesn't happen to you.

2. Speaker hit for reverse domain name hijacking - Based on a twitter conversation with the Complainant, he got some bad legal advice.

3. Calm.com domain name is paying dividends - Here's how a great domain name is helping a $1 billion valuation company.

4. Be careful about this expired domain name metric - Dig into this metric before buying a domain name based on it.

5. Blockchain.io domain owner fights back against Blockchain.com - Paymium responds to domain name dispute.
