I Don’t Get It? Why Are Large Portfolio Owners Just Now Bitching About Parking Companies Screwing Us?

By ShaneCultra - May 30, 2011 - 32 Comments

I get it. Parking companies have screwed domain owners for years. Evidently we were all a bunch of sheep that had nowhere else to go and just took it on the chin for years. It's funny because I always thought it was better than nothing. Nothing being what I was doing before I was able to park them.

I made the leap this week and bought my first dot co domain. While I wouldn't say that I have a complete change of heart on the future of dot co, I will say that I do feel that the dot co tld can be branded as well as any tld on the market. Notice how I said branded. You can brand anything. What I love about dot co is the acceptance from the business community. I am seeing both national and here locally, companies confidently using the tld as their domain. Whether consumers have completely accepted it is another story. I truly believe it is a name by name basis. I also think generics do... Read More »
