Size Matters, But It Isn’t Everything
Most everybody wants to be the biggest kid on the block. Given the choice between owning a five-star restaurant or the hot-dog stand on the opposite street corner I suspect that most folks would opt for the more opulent alternative — and for many of those folks, it would be the wrong choice. You see, there are advantages and disadvantages to being a large company in any field, with the online adult entertainment arena no exception — and a marketplace where the big boys are increasingly squeezing the little guys out.

.XXX: How Much Does It Cost?
At the XBIZ show in London, I debated Stuart Lawley, CEO of ICM Registry, the entity that pushed through the .XXX sTLD. I know that many of those in the audience wanted answers and, unfortunately with the typical smoke and mirrors presentation from ICM I am afraid the confusion increased. One such issue was that of the various costs of .XXX. During the debate, I quoted the price of .XXX on GoDaddy as well as the price I had been quoted by two employees of Domain-Monster. As I explained that DomainMonster’s cost was $199 the CEO of the company corrected me saying the cost is $79. What he neglected to say was that the $79 names were only available under the “General Availability” category and only if you commit for 25 years!
