Investing in domain names, or "domaining," can be a lucrative venture, but it's essential to approach it with the right knowledge and strategy. Drawing insights from seasoned investors, here’s what you should know before diving into domain investing.

Spring brings more than just blooming flowers and chocolate eggs—it’s also a prime opportunity to secure your dream domain name. As the world slows down for Easter, savvy creators, developers, and entrepreneurs can take advantage of quieter competition and exclusive seasonal deals. Whether you're launching a personal blog, a new startup, or a creative side project, locking in the right domain now can give you a jumpstart before the summer rush.

When someone hears your project’s name for the first time, what do they do? They Google it. Your domain is the front door to your digital identity, and just like a storefront sign, it should be clear, memorable, and inviting. But here’s the kicker—many domain names are doing their owners a disservice without them even realizing it.

Let’s face it — the internet is full of serious, business-like domains. You’ve seen thousands of .coms, .nets, and .orgs. But what if your project is meant to entertain, amuse, or spark joy rather than sound like a law firm? Enter the delightful world of .lol and .fun domains.
