DOMAIN NAME WIRE UPDATE FOR M – MAY’S TOP DOMAIN STORIES
Some years define us, and 2020 is shaping up to be one of them.
2001 was one of those years for me. I lost my job at a tech company during the dot-com bust. Then terrorists flew planes into the twin towers. It was an anxiety-ridden year for many people.
2020 was bad enough with the pandemic. Now, unrest is sweeping across America.
Record unemployment. A deadly virus. Major cities setting curfews as people burn cars in the streets. It seems apocalyptic.
Yet, there is a certain solace people can find online. There is a different world out there that is more peaceful. It operates during a pandemic. It doesn’t involve boarded-up shop windows. And as long as you avoid social media, it’s an excellent place to escape to.
At the core of that escape are domain names and websites. Wix reported a surge of people creating websites starting in April. The domain business is one of the few bright spots in the economy right now.
Scroll down to see which stories caught the most interest on Domain Name Wire last month.
And stay safe out there.
