Most domain investors know the lifecycle of domain names, but the same can't be said for entrepreneurs, businesses, and individuals who have their eyes on a domain.

Mike Cyger's latest creation solves that problem. Notify.domains is like Google Alerts for Domains. It tracks domain names and notifies users whenever there is a change: the domain expires, it's listed for sale, a nameserver changes, or even the domain's content changes. The platform tracks over 150 attributes for each domain name.

And if a domain is expiring, it explains to users how to acquire the domain.

Notify.domains can also be useful for domain investors because it notifies users when an aftermarket price changes.

In addition to talking about Notify.domains, Mike discusses his current design, coding, and AI stack.

I've been a fan of Instant Domain Search for many years. The domain search tool has been around for over two decades, but it's expanding its ambitions this year.

Under the umbrella of Instant Labs, the company is introducing new search features, an API for its data, and its own domain name registrar.

On today's show, Instant Labs CEO Matt Maiale fills us in on the details, and tells the story of acquiring the domain instant.ai.

Most domain transactions go smoothly. When they don't, people turn to attorney John Berryhill for help.

On today's show, John shares stories about some of the things he's seen happen: a UDRP filed during a long-term payment plan, a bankruptcy impacting a previous domain sale, and habitually late payers on LTOs.

Thankfully, John also suggests a fairly simple way to protect yourself.
