Tucows Launches YummyNames.com
Posted on October 30th, 2008 by admin in Domain News | 4 Comments »
Tucows Inc has announced the launch of YummyNames.com, a new service “providing exclusive access to a large selection of premium domain names from the Tucows Domain Name Portfolio”.
Their press release lists a few of the YummyNames domain names available include countryrock.com, divorced.com, lemons.com, listener.com, mygarden.com, thepub.com, tool.com and veggies.com.
The YummyNames website provides a search functionality allowing interested parties to search for domain names containing keywords of their choice. The website provides customers with the option of buying the domain name outright or leasing it for a finite period of time with Tucows stating the latter being a payment option “particularly advantageous for short-term or seasonal marketing campaigns”. Tucows main target audience for YummyNames.com are internet marketers.
“It’s important for marketers and organizations to realize they don’t need to settle on a lousy domain name,” said Bill Sweetman, General Manager, YummyNames. “Domain names are a vital component to successfully marketing a brand – whether it’s the launch of a new company, website or marketing campaign. A high-quality domain name is short, relevant and most important, easy to remember. We’re excited to open the Tucows portfolio of premium domains to the public through YummyNames. We’re confident users will find their perfect name.”
“YummyNames, the public face of our domain portfolio service group, provides an additional means by which to realize the value of our domain portfolio assets to drive continued growth for the Company,” said Elliot Noss, President and CEO, Tucows.
According to DomainNameNews the Tucows domain portfolio mostly consists of names that were not renewed by registrants, as well as domain names that were purchased as part of the Netidentity acquisition.
As the folks at DomainNameNews note it’s interesting to see Tucows, Fabulous, LiveCurrent start selling off their domain portfolios – are we to see more of the same in the near future?
I’d also enjoy poking fun at the choice of YummyNames and the dancing/smiling bucket? as a front for what is probably a huge and vastly valuable domain portfolio but I won’t. I’ll leave that to you

The smart choice for buying & selling domain names
I inquired about a few names with them and got the following back…
—————————-
Thank you for your recent inquiry about this domain name. We
appreciate your interest in doing business with YummyNames.
As this particular domain name is one of the Gems in our portfolio, we
kindly ask that you make us your best offer for this domain in writing
(via email is fine).
Please note that we will only consider offers of six figures or higher
for domains like this one.
All serious offers will be reviewed and responded to.
—————————-
What I don’t understand and I told them this is. Why have “Contact Us” on their site to inquire about a name only to have them respond back and say…’well its going to be expensive and we are looking for six figures’ so make us an offer.
Heck, I could have told you it would be six figures. Change the term from ‘Contact Us’ to ‘Make Offer’ and stop wasting my time with all of this back and forth.
(Just venting)
Interesting indeed – I would have thought the point of a portfolio front is to simplify things, not make them more complicated.

the logo looks like a totem pole
You are probably right, it looked like a smiling bucket to me lol
.
In any case, bucket or totem pole, what does it have to do with Yummy?
