NameMedia sells domain name from legacy domain parking service.

NameMedia has been merging its domain parking platforms for a couple months, but a number of domain owners have yet to make necessary changes to their domains on the NameMedia platform.

In particular, GoldKey and ActiveAudience accounts have been upgraded to SmartName. NameMedia sold the Goldkey.com domain name at the beginning of the year, meaning that domains parked on ns1.goldkey.com are no longer resolving, leaving money on the table for domainers. According to a name server report at DomainTools, there are currently over 25,000 domains pointing to GoldKey, so a lot of traffic isn’t resolving. Customers should login to their upgraded accounts at SmartName to check stats and update their name servers.

Once you change your DNS to SmartName, customers should check out some of the new SmartName products such as the content system and SmartName Shops.

Prices for Geodomain Expo increase tomorrow.

Early bird registration rates for next month’s GeoDomain Expo in New Orleans are available through the end of today. The $795 discounted rate was supposed to expire yesterday, but was extended until the end of the day March 1.

This year’s event for the geo domain name industry will take place at the Roosevelt Waldorf Astoria in New Orleans, Louisiana. It is timed to run during JazzFest. David Litman, who co-founded Hotels.com and sold it in 2003 for a valuation of $5.5 billion, will keynote the event.

I’ve attended Geodomain Fest for the last two years, and I can confirm that this is the event to attend if you are interested in “geo” domains and local advertising in the domain channel.

After today the conference rate will increase to $995 until the end of March, at which point it increases again to $1,195. Details, registration, and hotel information is available on Associated Cities’ web site.
