You've been asking for .si, and it's here. The trending domain extension is now available at GoDaddy. Discount Domain Club members can get .si domains for $10.79 for the first year, too.

Down payments coming to @afternic LTOs? I'm curious if they've tested this on their own portfolio.
Let’s get down to business. Coming soon to Lease to Own.

I don’t use the GoDaddy domain investor app as much anymore because I bid with the api, but seems like it hasn’t worked in over a week? Domains don’t load

interesting in Verisign's 10-Q... Paid about $145M in deposits for .web. Auction price was $135M. Perhaps difference went to Nu Dot Co? Also, $26.2 million in other acquisition costs. Some of it a payoff to Altanova?

We sold the domain ASI.inc for $90,000! Interesting timing, with so much discussion around artificial intelligence → superintelligence (SI). @DNJournal calls it the biggest .inc domain sale it has seen. Thanks Ron for including Ultra! dnjournal.com/domainsales.ht…
