As we say on DomainSherpa – all roads lead to domains! And today we have a Sherpa Shorts segment hosted by JT and Drew, who are also joined by Vaughn Liley of Nova Registry.
The Sherpas talk about what Nova Registry is doing with the .link TLD, and about the new gTLD round opening up at the end of the month.
Specifically, the Sherpas discuss how this new round will be different from the previous one, how the auctions process will work this time around for contend TLDs, and what will be some of the most sought-after extensions.
They also get into Nova’s plans and strategies for the new round, their SuperNova 200 announcement, and how this new gTLD round will impact .com domain names.
All this and more is coming up on today’s episode of Sherpa Shorts!
