Have questions about domain names or domain investing?

At the suggestion of a Domain Name Wire Podcast listener, I'm going to start a new segment on my podcast to answer questions. It might be an entire "guest" segment, or I'll answer questions each week as I get them.

I'll either answer the questions myself or bring on other domain investors for their answers. I have one approach to domain investing, and other domain investors might answer questions differently depending on their own experiences.

Questions can be technical (how do I do this at domain registrar ABC?) or opinion (what are the best places to sell domains?).

The easiest way to ask your questions is to respond to this email with your questions.

Now, scroll down to see a list of the top stories on Domain Name Wire last month.
