The Big Advantage Of 3 Letter Domain Names
In the last few days, two businesses have acquired valuable 3 letter com.au domains from me.
They are valuable because they are “short” – and there will always only ever be one of them available in this extension.
I share a couple of observations about what made the transaction easy from both buyer and seller perspectives.

Should auDA Have An Independent Ombudsman?
If you have a problem with your electricity or gas supplier – or your phone or internet provider – and their management and staff decide you are wrong, you can take your concerns to an independent Ombudsman.
