Need feedback on potential business idea branding

Hi all, first time posting but have browsed for a while. So just some background on what I’m trying to do, this idea started as where I could practice SEO techniques and post about my sobriety.

I’m 34 years old and was a long time alcohol and drug addict and now I am coming up on 1 year sober. I’ve really got interested with all things sobriety and wellness, and I work everyday on building habits to improve myself and in a lot of ways have completely turned my life around. I finally think I found something that I’m passionate about, I contribute all the time in the stop drinking Reddit and talk with friends and at AA.

Now that I have a lot more motivation, time, and energy I’ve been wanting to find a new venture in hopes to eventually break out of my 9-5. I started to look into learning SEO, and It eventually hit me I could learn SEO while managing a blog about sobriety and wellness.

Now I’m thinking, I could look to in the future build content alongside my blog, talking on YouTube, posting on TikTok and instagram etc. maybe even coaching and mentoring other people with substance abuse habits or that are just looking for a life style change. I figured the sky was the limit.

I need some critique and advice for my branding. The name I thought of was “abandon the herd”. As in breaking free from what the crowd is doing, thinking for yourself, and finding your own path.

I have the domain abandontheherd.net, and the instagram and YouTube accounts “Abandontheherd”

What I’m looking for is feedback on the brand name and the idea overall.

I typed my logo idea and colors I wanted into AI to get a rough draft on possible visual branding

Hope to hear back, have a great day and god bless!

Odd sale?

New Academic Research: “Zombies in Alternate Realities: The Afterlife of Domain Names in DNS Integrations”

Interesting paper on a fairly under-discussed issue in DNS: what happens to expired or repurposed domain names that remain embedded in DNS dependencies across systems. The core finding is that these “orphaned” or changed domains can persist in resolution paths and integrations long after their original context is gone, creating real security and reliability implications.

My take: this becomes even more relevant in modern AI systems, where agents, tools, plugins, and third-party APIs are rapidly stitched together. In that environment, domain names and DNS-level dependencies can quietly extend the AI supply chain attack surface in ways that are easy to overlook.

Why doesn't Namecheap have many good expired domains like GoDaddy?

GoDaddy and Namecheap are equally old companies and they are the first- and second-largest domain registrars in the world, respectively.

Both of them also run aftermarket auctions for their expired domains.

But why most of the valuable expired domain names are at GoDaddy? You'd rarely find a high-value expired domain at Namecheap auctions. Are Namecheap's domains just mostly "cheap"?

Fewer than 2% three-letter .ai domain names are still available for registration (list inside)

There are 17,576 possible three-letter combinations for any domain extension. For the .ai extension, only 303 three-letter domain names are still available for registration, which is slightly below the 2% mark.

DomainGang published a list of the remaining 3L .ai domain names.

Thunder.io sold for $180k - top .io domain sale of 2026 thus far

James Booth just struck a deal on the domain name Thunder.io: it was bought at the BIN price of $179,995.

The domain is listed at Atom but the sale was at Afternic (that's gonna be a costly commission!)

This is a very "striking" domain name, and it's the highest .io domain sale of 2026 thus far.

Humbleworth .it.com appraisals

Hi, I have a bundle of .it.com domains in the tech and ai space. Humbleworth did a bulk appraisal of $250-400k for total 9 domains. Most are in the $45-60k range if sold through a broker (so it says).

This is my first time attempting to sell a bundle. Is this worth it, or should I try to sell separately. I have heard mixed reviews of the .it.com domains.

The domains are:
http://learnai.it.com/

http://aicourse.it.com/

http://aiclasses.it.com/

http://ailearning.it.com/

http://wellbalance.it.com/

http://forexnow.it.com/

http://biznow.it.com/

http://techspace.it.com/

http://aitoolkit.it.com/

Should I look into a private broker or try to sell through the main domain sites such as Sedu?

Any advice is helpful.

Expired .gg domain name Aviator.gg is at auction

The domain name Aviator.gg recently expired and it was caught by Docky.ly where it is currently being auctioned.

This domain doesn't have a high resale value, but it's good for an end user.

100% free domains - GunPie.com or 1kom.com

I hope I read the rules right and this is okay.

I have over 300+ domains that I manage via my domain brokerage but I haven't really made a presence on reddit quite yet.

I am going to give these 2 domains to 2 people who upvote this post and reply with a tip/trick they have learned while domaining (if you are new that fine, just talk about why you are interested in domaining).

I am giving 2 domains out completely free (via push or transfer)

The domains are:

GunPie.com
Registrar - Porkbun
Expiration: 328 days
Godaddy appraisal - $1,478
Dyna appraisal - $1,767
Atom appraisal - $3,799

&

1kom.com
Registrar - Porkbun
Expiration - 58 days
Godaddy appraisal - $2,043
Dyna appraisal - $552
Atom appraisal - $81,000 (I have no idea why its so high lol)

Obviously take the appraisals with a grain of salt. I just wanted to give some reference points for these domains.

I will pick the winners in 3 days, if you have porkbun registrar, I can push them to you directly for free. If you use a different registrar, then inherently you will have to pay the transfer fee.

I want to be clear, there is absolutely no self promotion in this post. I made sure not to mention the name of my domain brokerage and my reddit account has no references to it at all. Also there is no catch, my goal is just to establish myself more in the domaining reddit space.

Best of luck <3

Domain stolen

So backstory, and I know I am stupid. You don’t have to remind me, so I bought a domain for my business earlier this year and I had transferred it to another account. So other workers could use it. I know pretty stupid but I didn’t realize one of our old partners, who is currently still signed on as member of our LLC which is a different story. But he wound up hacking it, changing the password and completely deleted our website. Go. Daddy won’t help at all. I can still log into the go daddy account through our Google, but just can’t change anything as his phone numbers on there and now his emails on there and he’s completely wiped out our entire website. What can I do to get it back? He’s also trying to sell it for $5000 when it’s worth maybe $10 😂😂 Please help

Two-letter .com domain name MC.com sold for $3 million

Sedo broker Dave Evanson confirmed the sale of the domain name MC.com for "approximately" $3,000,000. Sedo represented the buyer and Saw.com represented the seller.

That's a very rare and valuable two-letter domain name. Many big companies could use it.

The current registrant is based in Tokyo, Japan according to the WHOIS record.

32-year-old domain name Twig.com sold for $695k

The domain name Twig.com has been mostly uselessly registered since 1993! The previous owner even insisted that this domain is NOT for sale!

Here's a screenshot from the site taken in 2020:

https://preview.redd.it/oqo1vgwslk0h1.jpg?width=551&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2f22a5fc154cd95f19d04e655e0b4b4340061d5e

Well, looks like he (or another owner maybe) gave in eventually.

This domain has been sold for $695,000 at ApexMoon.com (X post).

Twig.com is now an agentic development environment.

Just because it's not for sale doesn't mean it's NOT for sale. Even if it's NOT for sale, it might still be for sale for the right price!!

Advice wanted: how to proceed with unsolicited #GoDaddy offer via broker for mytrumpaccount.com

Read a lot on this but want wisdom of the crowd. I've owned (parked) mytrumpaccount.com for several years. The original thought was 'account' as in story. Now -- with new savings and retirement accounts branded as 'Trump Accounts', someone is interested. The offer is mid 4 figures, net, direct from a #GoDaddy broker (domain parked with them) with an expiry date of 02/28/27.

Any advice on how proceed, stragically and procedurally? I'm aware this could be a vendor aiming to set-up and processing and ongoing maintenance of accounts OR it could be an ad-laden landing spot. I know zero about #SEO, but my first 2 thoughts are: 1) price seems low considering #Trump-adjacent spending, and 2) is it absurd to sell and ask for residuals. Happy for ANY help, including deeper help or things I haven't thought of. Thanks.

NameNews.com bought for $6,433 from GoDaddy auction

NameNews.com would make a good domain name for an industry news blog. Maybe that's the plan of whoever just bought it for $6,433 from an expired domain auction at GoDaddy.

Expired 3-letter .com domain name AAE.com is at auction

Someone who apparently doesn't value a three-letter .com domain name just let AAE.com expire and drop. It was caught be DropCatch and it's currently at auction.

Don't bother, you can't afford it!!

Current bid is $45,000 with more than 3 days left. This may close in the low six-figure range.

Clan.gg sold for $15k at Afternic

It's not easy to sell a .gg domain name, unless it's a short one-word that's related to gaming. Clan.gg is a perfect example of such a name, and it's just sold for $15k at Afternic.

This domain was previously bought for $686 in 2022. It looks like that buyer let it expire because the current registration date in the WHOIS record is 27th September 2025.
