The new weekly domain sales report is out at DNJournal.com. The next to last week of the 2011 sales season came with a surprise – the rare appearance of a .net domain at the top of our all extension leader board.

We had a wonderful Christmas in Florida Sunday. It was 82 degrees & sunny so snow was a little scarce but we still have White Christmases – it’s just that the white stuff here is sand instead of snow! Our Christmas wish is that you & your families are having an equally joyous holiday season and that 2012 will be your best year ever.
