Fulham.org.uk sells for not very much at all really

The geo-domain name Fulham.org.uk was sold on Domain Lore last week. The price – a tiny £50, with just one bid. I was a little surprised. But the main difficulty in getting London geodomains to rank, even with quite good websites, is that there is just so much competition. Think of all the websites which […]

Hove actually

There was a nice geodomain sale at DomainLore today – Hove.co.uk – just up the road from me along the Sussex coast. If you don’t know Hove, it’s a pretty cool place, but doomed forever to live in the shadow of its noisy neighbour Brighton. Although Hove has lots of interesting things to do in […]

And although most domain investors sneer at .biz domains, it will […]

Wiltshire.org.uk sold at Sedo

One geodomain recently offered for sale at Sedo which I missed was Wiltshire.org.uk. I would have fancied a bid at that if I had noticed that it was for sale.
