Why domainers must become developers

Ray on April 28th, 2008

In the early days of domaining, say up until  2002, domaining was easy (well easier).

Ray on April 4th, 2008

While searching around for domain name material to write about I found a site that made me think “well, why didn’t I think of that?!!”
The site I found searches for domaining videos from YouTube and locates them on one easy to navigate website. The website is called Domain Name Industry Videos and can be found on DomainTube.co.uk.
