PubCon Exhibitor : Moderndomainer

Modern Domainer Magazine speaks for the thousands of business professionals who have found ways to monetize domain names. Our magazine publishes six times a year and offers fresh perspectives, in-depth analyses and emerging trends. Whether you are breaking-in, keeping-up or getting ahead, Modern Domainer works for you.

Our readers are predominantly domainers, some of the most technically savvy users of the Internet and related technologies. Modern Domainer, a bimonthly industry magazine published in full color and distributed nationally, started in concept and planning in 2006 when a group of domaining entrepreneurs realized there was no definitive source for industry news and analysis. That changed when they brought together a core staff with the media, business, domaining, technical and publishing know how to create this powerful and unique magazine. Our goal? Its simple – to be the voice of the modern domainer.

In December 2006, there were an estimated 8,000 to 10,000 individual domainers worldwide and more than 120 million registered domains, showing a growth of 32% from the previous year. Dot com domains are still the most popular, with 63% of all .com and .net domains resolving to live websites. In 2006, domainers renewed 76% of expiring domains. A report in USA Today states that known sales of 5,851 domain names generated $29 million in 2005, compared with known sales of 3,813 domain names for $15 million in 2004. These figures represent only the tip of the iceberg for this rapidly growing but often fly-under-the-radar industry. Modern Domainer Magazine is the news, information source, and voice of these individuals.
