The WordPress platform is poster-child in the open-source community for proving accessibility to commercial-grade consumer-facing software at no cost. While it powers nearly 25% of the web and has been downloaded hundreds of millions of times, those that are responsible for the project are largely ignored for their work. The everyday user plays with WordPress blissfully unaware of the core group of volunteers and developers that tirelessly slave away on continued core improvements. If you're in the business profiting from WordPress in any way, recognizing those that make you business model possible isn't entirely unreasonable.
WordPress makes a list of the core contributors available in a JSON file that we've printed on our reference page. While I'm not entirely sure there's anything you can do for these people directly, recognizing their efforts via a page dedicated to displaying contributor credits is a start.
The following attributes alter the presentation of the credit list. For all options use 0 for false and 1 for true.
Specifcy a specific WP version. Defaults to the most recent.
Each of these groups are included by default. Omit with devs="0", props="0" etc.
The size of the user Gravatar should be included here. Defaults to 15 (pixels).
The align attribute applies to positioning of the Gravatar image.
If the API is unreachable, cache the temp message for cache_temp time.
The cache will save your result to a transient. Since the data rarely changes, we cache for 28 days.

7 beauty tips for the perfect summer skin!
Get rid of dead skin cells by peeling your skin, this results in smooth, even and glowing skin. Use a peeling product that contains enzymes, it is gentler for your skin and at least as effective as regular peeling.
It is important to use sunscreen with a high SPF, at least SPF 30 or 50 is highly recommended. A higher SPF means that your skin is protected better and that your sun kissed colour will last longer. Apply often and abundantly, and if you expose yourself to the sun directly, you should apply SPF every other hour.
When the weather is getting warmer, you may feel like your skin is less dry, but do not forget to moisturise it. The sun's radiation dries out your skin and it is recommended to use a lighter moisturising cream both on your face and body. A moisturising spray in your bag is a must! It helps moisturise and supplies your skin with nutrients. The spray can be used immediately after cleansing your skin, but also on top of your make-up.
The tip that we hear so often, but many neglect – drink enough water every day. Try to set a rule to drink 6 to 8 glasses of water daily. Sufficient liquid consumption on a daily basis is important for both organs and muscles, but it also contributes to the wellbeing of the skin as well as the entire body.
Never sleep with makeup on! Many do not clean the skin after a long working day or a night out. Your skin breathes and repairs itself while you are sleeping and therefore needs to be clean from makeup and dirt. Micellar cleansing products are popular within facial cleansing since you do not need to use water to clean your face. It is important to drink water, but applying it on your skin will unfortunately dry it out.
To sleep enough is essential both for your health and skin. Dark circles are not the only sign of a badly slept night, as you skin might get saggy and lose elasticity, which emphasises the signs of ageing. Try to get 8 hours of sleep every night so your body can recover and rebuild itself.
A walk per day, keeps the skin-problems away?
Not enough time for training? A walk a day boosts the blood circulation and is good for both your body and your skin. A 30-minute walk may be enough - you get fresh air and hopefully some sun, but do not forget SPF!

Thoughts and opinions on what it means to be a professional in the 21st century!
The Recruiting Process is a Series of Questions
The recruiting process can be full of roadblocks, bumps, and workarounds that eventually lead you to a great hire. Getting through each step of the process involves a lot of work, but is there a way to smooth things out and ensure the process doesn't take such a toll on your team?
Yes, there is a way and questions are the answers. Using a series of questions throughout each step of the recruiting process allows you to never miss a beat and consequently bring in the best candidate for an open position. The most important issue these questions address is the habit of making assumptions. It's important to avoid making them to treat every candidate with respect and dignity. Where do you start and which questions yield the most conclusive answers?
Assess Need and Evaluate the Position
Your end result is directly influenced by the way you start the process. Coming up with a strategic recruiting plan based on your direct needs and current situation will only help you in the long run. In the beginning stage of recruiting some crucial questions to include:
Assessing Need:
Is your current staff stretched too thin?
Can the duties of the role be dispersed?
Based on past and future market trends, is this the best time to fill the position? Is the role properly budgeted within the department?
Is filling the position the best use of your resources?
Evaluate Position:
Are there any changes that need to be made to the job role?
How can you leverage a new hire to fill any gaps in the core skills of the team?
Are there any upcoming changes to the team or department that will affect how this position should be filled?
What was the demonstrated value of the position and how can this be improved?
Receiving the answers to these questions can help determine your next steps including where to source hires and what the job description should look like.
Candidate Fit
After assessing and evaluating the open position and creating a job description, you've likely received a number of applicants. After filtering out the applicants who may not be qualified based on the description considering past positions and work experiences, you have now have a stack of candidates. How do you get from candidate to job offer? It's time for another round of questions. These questions help determine which candidate will be the best fit for the position and who would be the most productive in the environment provided at your particular
Some questions to ask include:
Describe the management style that will bring forth your best work and efforts.
What are the three to five expectations that you have of senior leaders in an organization where you will work successfully?
What are the positive aspects of your current job and work environment, or the last position you held before coming to this interview?
What is the single most important factor that must be present in your work environment for you to be successfully and happily employed? What were the 2 runner-ups?
What is your preferred work style? Do you prefer working alone or as part of a team? What percentage of your time would you allocate to each, given a choice?
When you work with a team, describe the role that you are most likely to play on the team.
Selecting the Right Candidate: Key Performance Indicators
You're getting closer to making a hire, but now comes the time to do a little internal reflection using the answers from your candidate fit assessment. Evaluate the individuals who have come before them in this position, what made them succeed? Or what possibly made them fail? It's also important to make sure you're making a job offer because the candidate meets all the criteria and will be productive in that particular position, not just because they fit the culture.
What do top performers in this position look like?
What traits are shared by the best (and worst) people who've done this job?
Do I want the new hire to match the current company culture or expand it?
Am I overlooking any red flags because they fit the culture?
Thinking in terms of questions, you can even ask people "What have I forgotten to ask you?" This is less about avoiding complications and more about creating a process with fewer and fewer assumptions. This leads to open and honest communication, which leads to better process, which leads to a better experience for everyone, which leads to awesomeness in your recruiting process.

Supporters of President Donald Trump's proposed border security measures gathered to form a human "wall" along a section of the U.S. -Mexico border in New Mexico on Saturday. Trump's rally, hard by the "successful border fence", will be met by the Baby Trump blimp and a galvanized March For Truth and Celebration of El Paso featuring Beto O'Rourke, who often cites the contributions of immigrants to his city.
In a tweet, El Paso Mayor Dee Margo, a Republican, panned the president: "El Paso was NEVER one of the MOST unsafe cities in the U.S. We've had a fence for 10 years and it has impacted illegal immigration and curbed criminal activity".
"Tonight, President Donald Trump is going to El Paso, Texas to create a circus of fear and paranoia, like he always does, to tell lies about the border and about immigration", former San Antonio mayor and former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro said in a video released Monday. It is NOT the sole deterrent.

Britannia (1893)
Britannia in the late 1890s
photograph by Alfred West & Son
A replica of Prince Albert Edward and King George V's racing yacht, the Britannia, is due home. The original yacht was designed by George Lennox Watson in 1893, which can be considered a vintage year: the Valkyrie II, Satanita, Calluna, Vigilant, Colonia, Navahoe, Pilgrim, Jubilee and the schooner Emerald marked a record year in First-Class yacht building. They all featured the spoon bow and widely extended overhangs making them far more suited to carry the giant rigs than the previous generation of crack yachts represented by the likes of the Iverna and Meteor, which had fiddle bows. These "freaks" were very much despised at first, but performance on the water quickly established them, and racing on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean made for interesting comparisons between yankee design and British design. That year the Britannia successfully defended the Cape May Cup from the American sloop Navahoe, but she lost the Brenton Reef Cup to the latter on a protest. The Britannia was successfully campaigned in the Mediterranean, on the River Clyde, and her home waters of the Solent from the onset. In turn, she faced yachts of increasing size and performance: the Vigilant in 1894, the Ailsa in 1895, the very large Meteor II in 1896, and she also served as Shamrock's trial horse in 1899. Despite tough competition from all these yachts, the Britannia kept showing strong performance in a breeze and her low handicap compared to later yachts enabled her to remain the most succesful racer afloat.
There was a lull in First Class racing in the 1900s and 1910s, during which time the Britannia sailed in cruising trim with raised bulwarks, a voluminous companionway doghouse, shortened spars and had her 4m tiller replaced by a wheel. During the morose rebuild of the British economy after the Great War, the Britannia's new owner King George V announced that she would be fitted for racing again in 1920 in a bid to revive the Big Class. In turn, the large cutter Lulworth (1920) was laid down to compete with the King's yacht, and the handicap cruiser Moonbeam IV (1914) was finally launched after a 6-year wait in the shed. More large yachts joined the Big Class, and the Britannia once again showed that she was the top performer in strong winds. She received many rig updates from yacht designers James Rennie Barnett, William Fife III and Alfred Mylne (marconi rig), but eventually her conversion to a J-Class bermuda rig in 1931 by Charles Ernest Nicholson showed a significant slop in her performance. A final rerig in 1935, a year before the King's death, proved disastrous as it yielded no wins at all. According to her owner's last wishes, the old Britannia was scuttled after his death in 1936. Thereafter, she remained for all British yachtsmen a glorious memory of a bygone era, and it is not surprising that the revival of classic yachting in the 1980s with the refits of Endeavour and Altair would eventually renew interest in G.L. Watson's masterpiece.

In 1993, Norwegian entrepreneur Sigurd Coates bought the Solombala shipyard in Archangel, Russia, and started to build a replica of the Britannia. He sold his shares in the shipyard in 2002, and soon after lost control of everything: The shipyard rebranded the boat Tsar Peter and held the boata back for ransom. After a considerable amount of travel, energy and time spent in court, Mr. Coates eventually forced the shipyard to deliver and launch the boat, and he had her motored by way of the North passage to her current anchorage in Son, Norway in the summer of 2009. After his return, Mr. Coates sold his ailing electromotor company, but could not gather enough funds to carry out the final fitout that was required to launch the boat properly, so he has sought investors to help him fulfill his dream. Finally, according to SEILAS magazine, a foundation in Cowes has acquired a considerable stake in the boat at low cost last week, and the boat has a guaranteed future now. In 2012 she will make for Cowes, which she will call home, and where she will receive a new bermuda rig. If Mr. Coates has given out much responsibility to the foundation, he retains a stake in the new Britannia, so he will be sure to sail her once she is completed. The project can be followed on the Britannia Trust website.

West Yorkshire's growing reputation as a top tourist destination has been recognised once again after a leading travel magazine has named the region as one of the coolest places to visit worldwide.
National Geographic Traveller (UK) has listed the county in its Cool List 2019, a profile of 19 "must-see destinations" including Hong Kong, Cambodia, Zimbabwe, Oslo and Antarctica. It has been included largely thanks to the Yorkshire Sculpture International, a 100-day sculpture event held from June next year by The Henry Moore Institute, Leeds Art Gallery, The Hepworth Wakefield and Yorkshire Sculpture Park. Added to this, The Hepworth Wakefield will also be unveiling its Hepworth Riverside Gallery Garden, with access to the former Victorian mill buildings next door.
The Calder Valley was also outlined for its "burgeoning hub for restaurants and independent shops". Pat Riddell, editor of National Geographic Traveller (UK), said: "West Yorkshire stood out for many reasons in 2019, but the arts scene really sparked our attention. "The Yorkshire Sculpture International triennial next summer – hosted by the Henry Moore Institute, Leeds Art Gallery, the Hepworth Wakefield and Yorkshire Sculpture Park – brings new work by international artists alongside existing world-class collections." He also nodded to the £15m redevelopment of Leeds Playhouse being a factor.
Ruth Pitt, the new chairwoman of Leeds 2023, a five-year arts and culture project in the city, is delighted. "People in the Leeds region have always known what a fantastic destination it is and it's wonderful that we are going to be on the global map in this particular way," she said. It comes after Leeds was last year named a top destination by another major travel guide, Lonely Planet's Best In Europe 2017. The list praised the city's urban regeneration and flourishing cultural scene.
Yorkshire is the third best region in the world to visit, according to travel guide company Lonely Planet.
In a recent publication, Lonely Planet says: "If the good people of Yorkshire were proud of their heritage before, the 2012 London Olympics only served to cement what they have always thought: that their county is better than – and really the best of – all the English counties.
"Recently this rough-around-the-edges gentleman of the north has kicked away the walking cane. Bradford has become the world's first Unesco City of Film, fashion-thirsty Leeds has cut the ribbon on an ambitious retail development at a time when malls elsewhere in the UK are stalling, a new state-of-the-art gallery in Wakefield is giving London a run for its money, and Yorkshire now has more Michelin-starred restaurants than any other county outside London."

A one-stop shop for bikes and coffee? It's actually more common than you might think. When RIDEhome, the new bike shop in Old Worthington, opened its doors in April, owners Kris and Heidi Anderson were simply following a growing trend around the country. It seems that bikes and coffee are a regular pairing in places like Chicago and the West Coast. Now the people of Worthington can also enjoy the many benefits of this popular combo. "People want to fuel beforehand and relax after (they ride)," said Kris Anderson, Worthington resident and co-owner of the shop. Anderson grew up riding bikes and worked in bike shops from the age of 13 all the way through graduate school and law school. He likes to work on bikes and he likes to ride them, and now that passion has been passed on to a couple of his kids. He and Heidi, who are both graduates of Thomas Worthington High School, have four children, ages 26, 24, 21 and 15.
Apparently biking is not their only passion. Coffee is also high on the list, and they want people to hang out, drink good coffee and use the Wi-Fi at RIDEhome. "We don't serve a $1.50 cup of coffee. This is full-flavored, high-end coffee," Anderson explained. "We are a coffee bar—and not a shop—for a reason. It's a different experience, and we want people to come here when they want a really good cup of coffee."
Just six months into this new venture, the Andersons feel welcomed by the community. "I think we are being very well received," Anderson said. "We have created a welcome and warm environment."
RIDEhome's warm and welcoming environment can be attributed in part to its timber-frame interior, which came from the Mt. Vernon Barn Company. Owned by Anderson's friend, Doug Morgan, the Mt. Vernon Barn Company saves and brings new life to Ohio's most plentiful and overlooked historic structures, barns and early log houses. You will notice this influence the moment you walk through the door.
Anderson is well aware that biking in Columbus has grown in popularity over the years. Several things are contributing to the surge, from Pelotonia to the expansion of bike trails throughout the city. "The bike paths are a lot fuller at the commuting time of the day than they used to be 10 or 15 years ago," he said. "There is also an overall acceptance nationally."
Without a doubt, the growing popularity of both biking and coffee cannot be disputed. With that in mind, here's what Anderson wants people to know about RIDEhome: "We are a neighborhood bike shop focused on serving the needs of the Worthington community. We are interested in promoting a great cup of coffee and creating a place where people can hang out for a little bit."
Visit RIDEhome at 650 High Street in Worthington. For more information, call 614.468-1409 or "like" them on Facebook at RIDEhome.

What can I do to get the maximum life out of my roof?
Usually no one pays attention to his or her roof until there is a problem. A well designed and installed roof, if properly maintained, could last greater than 25-years. Whereas a poorly designed and improperly installed roof, with little or no proper maintenance is the largest cause of roof failure. Facts show that these roofs only last ½ of their anticipated service span.
What should I do in the case of an emergency leak?
On a built-up roof, a can of flashing cement will do wonders. On a single-ply roof system duct tape and urethane caulk may close off a hole. For all emergencies, it is best to contact Mid-Ark Roofing at 501-562-3176 to keep damage and repairs minimal.
If a manufacturer warranties my roof, can I make my own repairs or have my HVAC contractor flash a unit?
No! For the entire length of the warranty the manufacturer is responsible to keep the roof watertight. Call Mid-Ark Roofing at 501-562-3176 for repairs or modifications to rooftop equipment.
How can I protect the roof from other trades and foot traffic?
By installing protection mats or a concrete paver system for high traffic areas (chillers, ventilation, cleaners etc.) Call Mid-Ark Roofing to install protective pathways for rooftop foot traffic.
What is the best roofing warranty?
A warranty issued by a manufacturer who has the roofing experience to match the longevity of the warranty. All Mid-Ark Roofing manufacturers have recognized experience and an excellent reputation in the roofing industry. Mid-Ark Roofing is a certified contractor for numerous manufacturers and offers a full manufacturer's warranty on all of our products.
How many years is a typical manufacturer's guarantee?
The minimum is 10 to 20 years. Mid-Ark Roofing has some roofing systems that are guaranteed for 30 years. Ask us about the best product to suit your roof by calling 501-562-3176.
What do I look for in a quality-roofing contractor?
Can I request an insurance certificate from the roofing?
Yes! Make sure that you are listed as the insured and receive the insurance certificate directly from the insurance company. Mid-Ark Roofing is bonded and fully insured to protect you from any liability during the installation and/or repair process.
What kind of insurance certificate must a roofer carry?
Liability, Workman's Comp and Automobile Insurance. For liability insurance, check for the effective date and consider your needs when reviewing coverage minimums. Mid-Ark Roofing is insured and has historically obtained any amount of insurance needed.
Should roofing contractors be bonded?
Yes. However bonding is not needed for small re-roofing projects provided that you can verify the credentials of the roofing contractor. If this is not possible, request that a performance and payment bond be issued/mailed directly to you.
What are building code requirements?
Always make sure the roofing contractor gets a building permit from the local building department. Make sure that your contract stipulates that all work will be performed according to all local and state fire codes. Mid-Ark Roofing always takes care of this as part of our contract.
What are re-roofing costs without tear off?
Depending on complexity and the type of roofing material, the cost to re-roof can range from $2 – $7 per square foot.
What are re-roofing costs with a tear off?
Add $2 – $3 per square foot.
How often should a roof be inspected for deficiencies?
New and old roofs should be inspected bi-annually for deficiencies, once in the spring and once before winter. This will assist in eliminating deficiencies and assure all drains are free of debris. Mid-Ark Roofing offers preventive maintenance services.
What is the best drainage system that I can design?
Interior drains are always better than exterior because interior drains can be heated and not subject to freeze-ups during the winter. Mid-Ark Roofing's in-house sheet metal shop can design and install drains that best fit your roof.
Are roof scuppers an effective way to drain a roof?
Roof scuppers are very effective if the roof has sufficient pitch to bring the water to the scuppers, if the scuppers are properly sized and if the scuppers have overflow provisions.
Can a roof collapse if drains are clogged?
If the roof has a parapet wall that extends above the roofline where the water cannot escape over the gravel stop (i.e. metal edging), the water can put additional weight and pressure on a roof forcing it to deteriorate or collapse. Check your drains bi-annually (minimum) to prevent clogs from damaging your roof. Mid-Ark Roofing offers preventive maintenance services.
Are pitched roofs better than flat?
Yes, but a flat roof may be effective for your particular building if the proper roof system and materials have been chosen. A preventive maintenance program will reduce drainage problems inherent in flat roofs.
Should roof exits be in or outside?
Access through an interior roof hatch is always preferred over the use of ladders from the outside.
Are skylights an effective way of bringing in daylight?
Yes, providing the skylights are properly placed and protected from the outside so that no one can fall through them. Mid-Ark Roofing is experienced with roofs that include skylights to ensure that no leakage at the point of contact occurs. Regular preventive maintenance is necessary to maintain the integrity of the seal. Daylighting is a specialized type of skylighting that maximizes natural light while reducing lighting and air conditioning costs.
Are light color or white roofs better than black?
Light or white colored roofs are usually 20-30 degrees cooler, which in turn reduces the stress of expansion and contraction. In many cases this can lengthen the life expectancy of the roof surface.
How many different single-ply membranes are on the market?
There are four different single-ply systems on the market: PVC, TPO (both considered to be a plastic type membrane), EPDM (a rubberized material) and modified bitumen material consisting of asphalt and polyester reinforcing scrim.
Which roofing system is the longest lasting?
A 3-ply built-up with a granulated cap. Multiple layers provide the absolute best coverage and longest lasting construction.
How much ridged insulation should I have on my roof?
Depends on how much R-value you are trying to achieve.
Over how many roofs can I install another layer of roofing material?
No more than two roof systems before a tear-off is required.
In most cases 30 years if properly maintained. A Mid-Ark Roofing maintenance program is available to meet those needs.
When is it time to stop repairs and install a new roof?
When the cost of repairs climbs higher and higher, the frequency of tenant complaints becomes unbearable and there is damage to the interior.
What can be done to lengthen the life expectancy of my roof?
Routine maintenance and application of reflective coatings. Mid-Ark Roofing can help you choose what is best for your roof.
Can I roof over wet insulation?
Never roof over wet insulation. Areas of wet insulation can be found using infrared technology, eliminating the unnecessary cost of removing the entire roof surface. Mid-Ark roofing uses infrared scanning to detect wet insulation and leaky roofs.

Discussing Domain Names as Brand Assets with ChatGPT
By Tatiana Bonneau access_time 26 min read
Guilty as charged, I couldn't help it! Hello and welcome to our guest, ChatGPT by Openai. See what it has to say about domains.
Hi, thank you for taking the time to answer my questions:)
You're welcome! I'm here to help with any questions you may have. Please feel free to ask me anything.
How should I introduce you to our readers?
You can introduce me as an AI assistant trained by OpenAI. You can also mention that I am a large language model that is designed to provide objective and accurate answers to questions on a wide range of topics. Additionally, you can mention that I am not influenced by personal opinions or experiences and am focused on providing helpful and informative answers to the questions that I am asked.
I would like to talk to you about domain names. First, how do I know what you know on that topic is true and relevant?
As a large language model trained by OpenAI, I have been trained on a vast amount of text data and can provide information on a wide range of topics. However, I am not able to browse the web or access updated information, so my knowledge is limited to what was available at the time of my training. It's important to keep this in mind when considering the answers I provide.
That's understandable. So what are your thoughts on domain names as brand assets?
A domain name is an important asset for a brand because it is the online address that customers use to find and access a company's website. A strong and memorable domain name can help customers easily find and connect with a brand online, which can help to increase brand awareness and credibility. Additionally, a domain name that is well-aligned with a brand's values and offerings can help to reinforce the brand's message and differentiate it from competitors. Overall, a domain name can be an important part of a brand's overall online presence and can help to drive traffic, engagement, and sales.
A strong and memorable domain name can help customers easily find and connect with a brand online, which can help to increase brand awareness and credibility.

That's a great answer, thank you! I love that you touch on the domain being aligned with the brand's value and offerings. How can entrepreneurs make sure that's the case?
When choosing a domain name, entrepreneurs should consider their brand's values, target audience, and offerings. It can be helpful to brainstorm a list of potential domain names and evaluate each one against these criteria to determine which options are the best fit. Some tips for choosing a domain name that is well-aligned with a brand's values and offerings include:
Keep it simple: A domain name should be easy to remember, spell, and type. Avoid using numbers, hyphens, or abbreviations that may be confusing or difficult to remember.
Use keywords: A domain name that includes keywords related to the brand's offerings can help customers easily understand what the website is about and make it more discoverable through search engines.
Be unique: A domain name that is unique and memorable can help to differentiate a brand from competitors and make it easier for customers to find and remember.
Consider the brand's values: A domain name should reflect the brand's values and personality. For example, a brand that is focused on sustainability may want to consider a domain name that includes words like "green" or "eco".
Ultimately, the best domain name is one that is memorable, easy to spell and type, and well-aligned with a brand's values and offerings. By considering these factors, entrepreneurs can choose a domain name that helps to reinforce their brand and drive traffic and engagement.
What are some mistakes you feel entrepreneurs make often when it comes to domain names?
One common mistake that entrepreneurs make when choosing a domain name is choosing a name that is too long or complex. As mentioned earlier, a domain name should be easy to remember, spell, and type. A long or complex domain name can be difficult for customers to remember and may result in lost traffic and engagement.
Another mistake that entrepreneurs often make is choosing a domain name that is not well-aligned with their brand. As mentioned earlier, a domain name should reflect the brand's values and offerings. Choosing a domain name that is not well-aligned with the brand can confuse customers and make it difficult for them to understand what the website is about.
Additionally, some entrepreneurs may choose a domain name that is similar to a competitor's domain name, which can cause confusion and make it difficult for customers to find the right website. It's important to choose a unique and memorable domain name to avoid these issues.
Overall, it's important for entrepreneurs to carefully consider their options when choosing a domain name and avoid making common mistakes that can impact their brand's online presence and success.
For a business nowadays what is more valuable, a domain name or a physical address?
In today's world, a domain name is generally more valuable than a physical address for a business. This is because a domain name is the online address of a business and is how customers can find and access the business's website. In contrast, a physical address is the location of the business's physical premises and is mainly used for postal purposes.
Why is it in that case that entrepreneurs have no issue spending millions on physical property, but struggle to invest in the best domains for their business?
There are a few reasons why entrepreneurs may struggle to invest in the best domains for their business despite being willing to spend millions on physical property. These reasons may include:
Perception of value: Many entrepreneurs may perceive physical property as a tangible and valuable asset that can be seen and touched, whereas a domain name may be seen as intangible and less valuable.
Familiarity: Entrepreneurs may be more familiar with and comfortable investing in physical property, whereas the concept of domain names and their importance may be less well-known.
Lack of understanding: Entrepreneurs may not fully understand the significance of a domain name for their business and the potential impact on their online presence and visibility.
Cost: The cost of purchasing a high-quality domain name can be expensive, and entrepreneurs may be hesitant to invest a large amount of money in something they are not familiar with.
Overall, the reasons for this discrepancy may be a combination of the above factors, as well as other factors such as a lack of education and awareness about the importance of domain names for businesses.
What about domain name extensions? What is the best one to use for a startup?
When choosing a domain name extension for a startup, the best option will depend on the brand's goals and objectives, as well as the target audience and the nature of the business. Some common domain name extensions that are often used by startups include:
.com: This is the most well-known and widely used domain name extension, and is generally considered the default choice for businesses.
.co: This extension is often used by startups and is seen as a shorter and more modern alternative to .com.
.io: This extension is often used by technology and internet-based startups and is seen as a trendy and innovative choice.
.net: This extension is often used by technology and internet-related businesses and can be a good choice for startups in these industries.
.org: This extension is often used by non-profit organizations and can be a good choice for startups with a social or environmental mission.
Overall, the best domain name extension for a startup will depend on the brand's goals and audience, and it may be helpful to experiment with different extensions to see which one works best for the business.
Some of the extensions you mentioned are actually country domain extensions, even though people may not be aware – for example .co or .io. How can that affect a business?
While some domain name extensions, such as .co and .io, are technically country-specific extensions, they are also commonly used by businesses and individuals outside of those countries. In some cases, using a country-specific domain name extension can provide certain benefits for a business, such as local search engine optimization (SEO) or increased credibility with customers in that country. However, using a country-specific domain name extension can also have some potential drawbacks, such as limiting the business's global appeal or making it more difficult for customers in other countries to find and access the website.
Overall, whether or not to use a country-specific domain name extension will depend on the brand's goals and target audience, as well as the nature of the business. It may be helpful for a startup to consider the potential advantages and disadvantages of using a country-specific domain name extension and evaluate whether it is the best choice for the business.
Who are those country extensions governed by and what impact can that have on a brand?
Country-specific domain name extensions, such as .co for Colombia and .io for the British Indian Ocean Territory, are governed by the respective country's domain name registry. These organizations are responsible for managing and administering the domain name space for their country, including registering and renewing domain names, enforcing domain name policies, and resolving disputes.
The impact of a country's domain name registry on a brand can vary depending on the specific policies and regulations of the registry. In some cases, a country's domain name registry may have strict requirements or restrictions for registering and using a domain name, which could potentially impact a brand's ability to use a desired domain name or create a website.
Additionally, a country's domain name registry may have dispute resolution processes in place for resolving disputes over domain names, which could affect a brand's ability to protect and defend its domain name.
Overall, it is important for a startup to consider the potential impact of a country's domain name registry on its brand when choosing a domain name extension. By researching the policies and regulations of the relevant registry, a startup can make more informed decisions about which domain name extension is the best fit for the brand.
What if the domain name doesn't match the company brand name? How can that affect a business?
If a domain name doesn't match a company's brand name, it can potentially cause confusion for customers and make it difficult for them to find and connect with the brand online. For example, if a company's brand name is "Acme Corporation" but their domain name is "www.acmecorp.com", customers may have a hard time remembering the correct domain name and may end up visiting a competitor's website instead.
Additionally, a domain name that doesn't match a company's brand name can make it more difficult for customers to find the brand through search engines, as search engines may not recognize the connection between the brand and domain names. This can impact the brand's search engine rankings and visibility, which can in turn impact traffic and engagement.
Overall, it's generally best to choose a domain name that matches a company's brand name as closely as possible to avoid confusion and maximize the brand's online presence and success.
I totally agree, we often talk about brand fragmentation, it is already hard to keep a brand consistent across all the different touch points it has with its customers. How can a domain be used to combat brand fragmentation?
A domain name can help to combat brand fragmentation by providing a central and consistent online address for a company's website. By choosing a domain name that matches a company's brand name as closely as possible, customers can easily find and connect with the brand online, regardless of the platform or channel they are using. This can help to reinforce the brand's message and build customer trust and loyalty.
Additionally, a well-chosen domain name can help to differentiate a brand from competitors and establish a unique and memorable online presence. This can help to prevent confusion and ensure that customers associate the brand with the correct website.
Overall, choosing a domain name that is well-aligned with a brand's values and offerings can help to combat brand fragmentation and build a strong and consistent online presence. This can help to drive traffic, engagement, and sales for the brand.
Some people say domain names don't matter anymore because they can buy traffic or/and advertise on third party platforms, what are your thoughts on that?
While it is true that companies can buy traffic and advertise on third-party platforms, a domain name is still an important part of a brand's online presence and can provide several benefits.
First, a well-chosen domain name can help customers easily find and connect with a brand online. This can be particularly important for customers who are searching for the brand directly, rather than discovering it through an advertisement or social media platform.
Second, a domain name can help to establish credibility and trust with customers. A domain name that matches a company's brand name and reflects its values and offerings can help customers to understand what the website is about and trust that the brand is legitimate and reputable.
Third, a domain name can help to differentiate a brand from competitors and establish a unique and memorable online presence. This can help to prevent confusion and ensure that customers associate the brand with the correct website.
Overall, while buying traffic and advertising on third-party platforms can be effective, a domain name is still an important asset for a brand and can help to drive traffic, engagement, and sales.
How important is a good domain name strategy in terms of brand security and independence?
A good domain name strategy can be important for brand security and independence. By choosing a unique and memorable domain name, a company can help to prevent confusion and ensure that customers associate the brand with the correct website. This can help to protect the brand's reputation and prevent competitors from benefiting from any confusion or misdirection.
Additionally, having a unique and well-aligned domain name can help to establish a brand's independence and credibility. Customers are more likely to trust and engage with a brand that has a professional and well-defined online presence, and a strong domain name can help to establish this presence.
A domain name can provide a brand with a certain level of independence and control over its online presence. By owning and managing its own domain name, a brand can have more control over its website and online content, which can be important for maintaining the brand's integrity and message.
Overall, a good domain name strategy can help to protect a brand's security and independence and establish a strong and credible online presence. This can help to drive traffic, engagement, and sales for the brand.
So it is safe to conclude domains are important and having a good domain strategy is an integral part of a brand's success. It has been my experience too.
Yes, that is a safe conclusion. Domain names are important assets for a brand and can play a key role in the brand's online presence and success. A well-chosen and well-managed domain name can help to drive traffic, build customer trust and loyalty, and establish a unique and memorable online presence. A good domain name strategy can help to ensure that a brand's domain name is aligned with its values and offerings and supports the brand's overall goals and objectives. Overall, domain names are an important part of a brand's success and having a good domain name strategy is essential for maximizing the brand's online presence and success.
I am glad to notice that more and more entrepreneurs get to that same conclusion. There is one problem however, good domain names can represent quite an investment for a startup – premium domains regularly sell in the five and six figures, and it's more and more common to see names sold for millions, and even tens of millions (voice.com comes to mind). What would you advise startup owners when it comes to investing in the best domain for their brand?
Purchasing a premium domain name can represent a significant investment for a startup, and it's important for entrepreneurs to carefully consider their options before making a decision. Some tips for startup owners considering investing in a premium domain name include:
Evaluate the potential return on investment: A premium domain name can help to drive traffic, build customer trust and loyalty, and establish a strong and distinct online presence. It's important to evaluate the potential return on investment of a premium domain name and consider whether it is worth the cost in terms of the brand's goals and objectives.
Consider alternative options: If a premium domain name is out of reach, there may be other options that can provide similar benefits at a lower cost. For example, a startup may be able to find a less expensive domain name that is still well-aligned with the brand and easy for customers to remember and type.
Use domain name financing: Some domain name registrars and marketplaces offer financing options for premium domain names, which can help to spread the cost over time and make it more manageable for a startup.
Develop a long-term domain name strategy: It's important for startups to think about their long-term domain name needs and develop a strategy that will support their growth and success. This may involve purchasing multiple domain names, using different top-level domains (TLDs), or using domain name forwarding and redirects to manage multiple domains.
Overall, while purchasing a premium domain name can be a significant investment, it can also provide important benefits for a startup's brand and online presence. It's important for entrepreneurs to carefully evaluate their options and consider alternative approaches to ensure that they are making the best decision for their brand.
Those are great points and I agree, it is very important carefully evaluate and consider all options objectively. You mention evaluating return on investment, how can startup owners do that? How can they measure the potential benefits of investing in a premium domain, if they've never ran a business on one?
Evaluating the potential return on investment (ROI) of a premium domain name can be challenging for startup owners who have never run a business on one. Some tips for evaluating the potential ROI of a premium domain name include:
Consider the brand's goals and objectives: A premium domain name can help to drive traffic, build customer trust and loyalty, and establish a strong and distinct online presence. It's important to consider how a premium domain name can support the brand's goals and objectives and evaluate whether it is worth the investment in terms of these goals.
Research similar domain names: Startups can research similar domain names to see how they are performing in terms of traffic, engagement, and revenue. This can provide insight into the potential benefits of a premium domain name and help to inform the ROI calculation.
Talk to domain name experts: Domain name experts can provide valuable insights and advice on the potential ROI of a premium domain name. Startups can consult with domain name experts to get a better sense of the potential benefits and risks of investing in a premium domain name.
Use financial modeling: Startups can use financial modeling to evaluate the potential ROI of a premium domain name. This can involve creating a financial model that takes into account the cost of the domain name, the expected benefits in terms of traffic, engagement, and revenue, and other relevant factors.
Overall, while evaluating the potential ROI of a premium domain name can be challenging, there are several steps that startup owners can take to get a better sense of the potential benefits and risks of investing in a premium domain name. By considering the brand's goals and objectives, researching similar domain names, talking to domain name experts, and using financial modeling, startups can make more informed decisions about investing in a premium domain name.
Using financial modeling is something I feel not many entrepreneurs would consider when it comes to evaluating a domain name, can you expand on that one please?
Sure, financial modeling can be a useful tool for evaluating the potential return on investment (ROI) of a premium domain name. Financial modeling involves creating a financial model that takes into account the costs and benefits of a particular investment. In the case of a premium domain name, a financial model might consider the cost of the domain name, the expected increase in traffic and engagement, and the potential impact on revenue.
To create a financial model for evaluating the ROI of a premium domain name, startups can follow these steps:
Determine the cost of the premium domain name: This will typically be the purchase price of the domain name, plus any additional costs such as domain name registration fees or domain name financing charges.
Estimate the expected increase in traffic and engagement: This can be based on research into similar domain names and the potential impact of a premium domain name on the brand's online presence and visibility.
Calculate the expected impact on revenue: This can be based on the expected increase in traffic and engagement and the brand's average revenue per visitor or customer.
Determine the expected ROI: This can be calculated by dividing the expected increase in revenue by the cost of the premium domain name.
By creating a financial model that takes into account the costs and benefits of a premium domain name, startups can get a better sense of the potential ROI of the investment. This can help them to make more informed decisions about whether a premium domain name is worth the cost in terms of the brand's goals and objectives.
Thank you, that makes it sound a lot more accessible! I feel entrepreneurs often don't see domains as brand assets, which makes the initial investment in a premium domain seem unreasonable. If you think of the domain name as asset that will be with the brand and have a direct affect on its success over its lifetime, even seven and eight figure investment will be easily returned.
You're welcome! I agree that many entrepreneurs may not fully appreciate the value of a domain name as a brand asset. However, as you point out, a domain name can have a direct impact on a brand's success and can provide long-term benefits that justify the initial investment. By considering the potential return on investment (ROI) of a premium domain name and developing a long-term domain name strategy, startups can make more informed decisions about whether investing in a premium domain name is worth the cost in terms of the brand's goals and objectives. Ultimately, a domain name is an important asset for a brand and can provide significant benefits over the long term.
I want to get back to another point you made, when talking about making premium domains more accessible for startups – financing. There are also creative deals, Uber is a well known one, where they offered equity + cash to secure the domain Uber.com. Can you help with some more ideas on creative ways to secure a desired domain for a startup, when it seems unreachable from cashflow perspective?
Yes, there are several creative ways that startups can secure a desired domain name, even if the cost is initially out of reach from a cashflow perspective. Some options for securing a desired domain name include:
Domain name financing: Some domain name registrars and marketplaces offer financing options for premium domain names, which can help to spread the cost over time and make it more manageable for a startup.
Domain name leasing: In some cases, a startup may be able to lease a premium domain name from the current owner, rather than purchasing it outright. This can provide the startup with the benefits of a premium domain name without the full upfront cost.
Domain name partnerships: A startup can consider partnering with another company or individual who owns a desired domain name. This can involve sharing the cost of the domain name or offering equity or other forms of compensation in exchange for the domain name.
Domain name auctions: Premium domain names are often sold at auctions, which can provide startups with an opportunity to bid on a desired domain name. This can be a competitive process, but it can also provide startups with a chance to secure a premium domain name at a potentially lower cost.
That's great and I am sure will benefit our audience, thank you. Let's talk about some common feedback I get from entrepreneurs when it comes to domains. A persistent issue is that business owners feel it's unfair that a domain owner is demanding them a substantial sum for a domain name they don't use but have rather kept as an investment. They feel it's unfair. What is your take on that?
It is understandable that some business owners may feel that it is unfair for a domain owner to demand a substantial sum for a domain name that is not being used. However, it is important to recognize that domain names are considered property and can be bought, sold, and held as investments, just like any other form of property. As with any other type of investment, the value of a domain name can vary depending on a variety of factors, including the quality and uniqueness of the domain name, the demand for similar domain names, and market conditions.
While it may be frustrating for a business owner to have to pay a substantial sum for a desired domain name, it is important to consider the potential benefits of the investment and evaluate the potential return on investment (ROI) before making a decision. As mentioned earlier, a premium domain name can provide significant benefits for a brand, including driving traffic, building customer trust and loyalty, and establishing a strong and distinct online presence. By considering the potential ROI and the long-term value of a premium domain name, business owners can make more informed decisions about whether to invest in a desired domain name.
Exactly, I guess some people may feel the same about physical properties, I live in Nice so there is a huge % of apartments and villas that are held as investments and empty most of the time, but their owners don't seem to be judged for demanding millions to sell them.
Yes, the situation with empty properties being held as investments is similar to the situation with unused domain names being held as investments. In both cases, the owners have the right to buy, sell, and hold the property as an investment, and the value of the property can vary depending on market conditions and other factors. While it may be frustrating for potential buyers to have to pay a high price for a desired property or domain name, it is ultimately a matter of supply and demand, and the owners are within their rights to set the price based on their perceived value of the property or domain name.
I hate to ask that but I really do agree with all you've said so far and it matches my experience and research in the domain space for coming up to 5 years now. However many readers may feel you are biased in some way. How do they know you are objective in your answers?

Secretary-General, at Economic and Social Council Forum, Spells Out Priority Areas for Urgent Action in Response to, Recovery from COVID-19
Following are UN Secretary-General António Guterres' remarks to the opening of the 2021 Economic and Social Council Forum on Financing for Development, in New York today:
Financing for Development in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic means an unprecedented effort to mobilize resources and political will. Since the pandemic began one year ago, no element of our multilateral response has gone as it should.
More than 3 million people have lost their lives. Some 120 million people have fallen back into extreme poverty, while the equivalent of 255 million full-time jobs have been lost. We have seen the worst recession in 90 years. And the crisis is far from over. Indeed, the speed of infections is now even increasing.
We need to heed the lessons now if we are to reverse these dangerous trends, prevent successive waves of infection, avoid a lengthy global recession and get back on track to fulfil the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Paris Agreement on climate change. Unity and solidarity will save lives and prevent communities and economies from falling into catastrophic debt and dysfunction.
Advancing an equitable global response and recovery from the pandemic is putting multilateralism to the test. So far, it is a test we have failed. The vaccination effort is one example. Just 10 countries across the world account for around 75 per cent of global vaccinations. Many countries have yet to start vaccinating their health-care workers and most vulnerable citizens. A global vaccine gap threatens everyone's health and well-being. The virus is dangerous everywhere if it spreads unchecked anywhere. And global value chains do not function if one link is broken.
Some estimates put the global cost of unequal access and vaccine hoarding at more than $9 trillion. The same lack of solidarity means that some countries have mobilized relief packages worth trillions of dollars, while many developing countries face insurmountable debt burdens that will put the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) completely out of reach if not corrected.
Even in 2019, before the pandemic, 25 countries spent more on debt service than on education, health, and social protection combined. Now, many Governments face an impossible choice between servicing debt or saving lives. But in reality, there is just one choice: to take action to avert a global debt crisis.
Inequalities are also growing within countries, as women and girls and the most vulnerable groups have been hit the hardest by the pandemic. Nearly 170 million children around the world have been out of school for a year. We face a global education crisis with a devastating long-term impact on individuals and their communities, which could contribute to inequality across the generations.
We are here today to set the course for an equitable, sustainable and resilient response and recovery from COVID-19. I call for urgent action in six areas.
First, vaccines must be available to all countries in need. We must close the funding gap of the COVAX facility. To end the pandemic for good, we need equitable access to vaccines for everyone, everywhere.
Second, we must reverse the fall in concessional financing, including in middle-income countries. Development assistance is needed more than ever, and I urge donors and international institutions to step up. I welcome recent calls, including from the International Monetary and Finance Committee (IMFC) last week, for a large issuance of special drawing rights (SDRs) and a reallocation to countries in need. And that must indeed be a fact.
Third, we must make sure funds go where they are needed most. Latest reports indicate that there has been a $5 trillion surge in the wealth of the world's richest in the past year. I urge Governments to consider a solidarity or wealth tax on those who have profited during the pandemic, to reduce extreme inequalities.
Fourth, we must address the debt crisis with debt suspension, relief, and liquidity provided for countries that need it. The G20's support for an extension of the Debt Service Suspension Initiative (DSSI) to the end of this year is welcome; but I urge a further extension into 2022.
Both the DSSI and the G20's Common Framework should be expanded to include all countries in need and also including middle-income countries. I am greatly encouraged by the IMFC's call to support also middle-income countries that are in need and that are home to more than 60 per cent of the world's poor.
New mechanisms can make use of debt swaps, buy-backs and cancellations. But we need to go beyond debt relief. The meeting of Heads of State and Government on the international debt architecture and liquidity we hosted with the Prime Ministers of Jamaica and Canada two weeks ago showed strong support for much bolder measures.
We urgently need to strengthen the international debt architecture to end the deadly cycles of debt waves, global debt crises and lost decades. This starts with a time-bound, open dialogue with all stakeholders to build trust and transparency. We need an inclusive approach that encompasses private creditors and tackles long-standing weaknesses and gaps.
Fifth, we must invest in people. We need a new social contract, based on solidarity and investments in education, decent and green jobs, social protection, and health systems. This is the foundation for sustainable and inclusive development.
Sixth, we need to relaunch economies in a sustainable and equitable manner, consistent with the Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement. The latest report by the United Nations Environment Programme showed that just 2.5 per cent of recovery spending has positive, green characteristics.
We are missing a once-in-a-generation opportunity for bold, creative solutions that will strengthen the response and recovery, while accelerating progress across the entire 2030 Agenda and the Paris Agreement. The COVID-19 pandemic is our most immediate challenge. But we cannot ignore the other significant fragilities it has highlighted.
Climate change increasingly threatens the future of people and planet. We urgently need to implement policies and set targets and timelines to cut greenhouse gases to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 — including mandatory climate disclosures and switching fossil fuel subsidies to renewable energy.
We face a major finance gap, and I repeat my call for the $100 billion commitment made a decade ago to be delivered each year and from now, immediately. At the same time, we need a just transition that supports communities affected by this change.
For many countries across the globe, particularly small island developing States and least developed countries, the effects of climate change are a deadly reality already. I urge all developed countries to increase their share of climate finance allocated to adaptation and resilience to 50 per cent of the total and the same to international financial institutions and national development banks.
Consumers and investors are demanding sustainable business and investment. We need a paradigm shift that aligns the private sector with the SDGs. To address the challenges of the future, including those revealed by COVID-19, we need an enormous push at the highest political level.
I urge everyone here today to participate. This Forum must provide ambition and momentum, to finance a resilient, inclusive, equitable and sustainable future for all.
Thank you and I wish you the best success in the Forum.
