    Godaddy FX fees on domain sales

    I've previously tried numerous workarounds over the last few years - USD account based in the US - account currency seemed to default to GBP. USD account based in the UK - again godaddy seems to want to default to GBP, which I imagine is tied to your location. Difficult for them to justify...

    Thailand

    I use Currensea (links to your home bank account) and curve (links to debit/credit cards) for spending and withdrawing cash abroad. I have found wise.com far better than Revolut in terms of customer service, Revolut used to be a little cheaper than wise but if your time is money I think wise wins.

    Why were .co.uk registrants obliged to pay twice if they wanted .uk ?

    They said it was about choice - done to foster an innovative uk web space where new registrants could find new, previously unavailable names. A uk web space, so innovative that even the registry itself had become an incubator/investor in cutting edge ideas. If I was being charitable I'd say at...

    Italy win

    I agree. Perfect example of an experienced and wiley player who in a split second made a calculation and reasoned taking him out was a better move than letting him through. I think they outfoxed us.

    My TAG, Nominet and Me

    I wouldn't take it personally if I were you. I suspect they've lost money in what they consider is a similar situation in the past - of course the individuals/companies involved are different and that should really form part of the decision making process. More likely they have set rules with...

    Maximise your Voting Rights

    Thanks Andrew, good tip - I've renewed a few more names. I note that the EGM has made it to their website menu, I hadn't noticed that before.

    ‘New’ Nominet’s strategy for dot uk.

    I'm not sure that I had the belief it would, but perhaps the belief it could. From what I remember at the time Nominet were pushing the .uk on the basis it would increase choice. I haven't seen much evidence of that. Looking at the gtlds with the exception of .xyz which managed to drive some...

    Advice / Tip for dealing with afternic/uniregistry/godaddy for "premium" .com

    If it's not owned by Uni/GD then why don't you try and approach the owner direct - will save them the Uni/GD commission. In terms of approach, if you want to finalise things quickly - work out a budget based on your valuation and go straight in with a decent chunk of it and you'll quickly work...

    Didn't go for £5k .com geo domain - should I have?

    Don't beat yourself up about it - there will always be more potential opportunities in this business than time. If you've still got the itch about this particular opportunity in a few years time you might still be able to jump on board.
