You’ve probably figured out I’ve been away for a the last week. I purposely shut off my US phone went all email and apps so I can just relax with the family in Europe. If anyone needed to get ahold of me they had my email and my WhatsApp number. For a one week vacation that is all I needed. I had a gig of data and a Hong Kong telephone number and it would have lasted me most of the month at the rate I used it. The two things that surprised me were that no local businesses took credit cards. Only debit cards and cash. Even the major supermarkets. Of course in Amsterdam and touristy restaurants did but anything locally driven you couldn’t use it. I’m writing this on a train from Belgium back to Amsterdam. And of course it has free wifi.
Out of all the countries in Europe , The Netherlands, is the perfect place for me and my family. They are known for their beautiful flowers and I fit right discussing all the different flowers they grow. Their transportation system is as efficient as any in the world and most of Europe is just hours away on a train. The bonus almost everyone speaks English and the obesity level is 95% less because local transportation is based around biking and walking . A few of my friends have moved here and it’s not out of the question that we may be spending summers here as well.
As for domains. It really opened my mind as far as branding. Most of the url were .nl but the rest were short .com. Made.com seemed to advertise everywhere (or maybe I just noticed it more because it was Made.com). The stores all were short names, often taking out vowels (Dutch naturally lacks vowels in many words, Markt is market). In general it reminded me that we have to get away from what looks natural in English to have value. Short in another language is still short and valuable.
I’ll be back soon and hopefully with a little recharge. Until then, enjoy today’s names Here are today’s domains. Hope you find a good one. Click to see the latest price
Quote of the Day: “They have lots of money and buy foolishly. Articles that just before our occupation were sold to the people and the German soldiers for 25 to 30 marks are now bought by the Americans for from 80 to 100 marks…a great many articles are being made expressly for the American souvenir hunters and in almost all cases these are made of cheap imitation material.” -During WWII and still true today

Have a name at auction and need more exposure? Send me an email. We Charge $10 per name per day. We may be able to help. If you have an auction you want to promote, email us for details.*All names chosen by us, Shane and Josh . (ie you click through and purchase a name you like) or an occasional paid listing. Everything we say is based on our own research or is opinion. Do your own due diligence. That means look it up yourself if you don’t think the stats or our opinion is correct. We hand choose the names but we are paid to make this list by both the auction houses, individuals that are auctioning names, and Godaddy affiliate links. Keep that in mind and only buy names that YOU think are good
Sounds like Netherlands is great. Maybe you can start the next tulip bubble 🙂
I love Belgium mainly due to its concentration of great cartoonists and graphic novelists. Hope you had a relaxing time.
