Webmasters / Let's Market/broker Your Domain Names by CPriest: 3:33pm On Dec 23, 2017
More than 12 months ago, I decided to work out a way to promote domain names. I've been away from Nairaland simply because of that objective.

We're not there yet, but we are moving closer everyday. A few people may still remember the bits of contribution to domainers back then.

So what is there for NL domainers from us today?

1. We launched a beautiful website to promote premium domain names
2. We launched a domain name mag
3. We setup an online shop to sell (and receive payments) for domain names

In summary we solved some of the challenges domainers encounter.

I would not mention the specifics - since we cater to a global market and not Nigeria alone.

So if you've got good domain names list them here (and the minimum price you will sell them for) and we'll be willing to promote the ones we think has great potential.

We are going to start a partnership where we put up select domain names and call people to "share" in its acquisition and maintenance. You get a percentage of the sales when the name is sold or auctioned. 2018 will rock!

Men i was late, someone beat me to this two domains.
So i saw
supremewater.info
And
Weddingmart.info
And i went for them
But to my suprise when checking my domains on godaddy i saw weddingmart but i could not see supremewater, and d invoice sent to me reflected dt i was billed for thw two domains.
Oga cpriest, pls whats happening
Cc ollykay619

Weddingshop.info and supremewater.info are owned by two different persons. Don't worry, they will only charge you for the one registered in your name. Seems supremewater is the one you own. I wouldn't have bought that name, the .net is still available and several other gTLDs. Each name I suggest has a purpose. If you miss it, just hold on, you will get another the following day or so.

Brunel:

You're completely right about the availability of technical manpower. Renewable energy systems interest me because almost everything depend on it.
Nigeria has so much potential in this field that it baffles me we are not utilising it, more surprising is the fact that there is no stable power and many businesses and communities rely on fuel burning to generate electricity when an alternative source is just an elbow stretch away.
I hope to fill this technical lacuna sometime soon. I'm currently taking a course on renewable energy systems.

That's a good one, wish you the best in it. Hope you contribute to the solutions we need.

Brunel:

what do you think can be done to change this?

Your interest (I guess that's why you asked the question) is appreciated. Looking at the two cases they are community driven projects. Before now, I still wonder why universities in Nigeria should still be in darkness or burn diesel like it is oxygen. University communities are a good fit for smaller versions of this project. High profile estates are also fit for such.

The technical side - the expertise to make something like this happen is a major challenge. I am not saying it is impossible to find people here who can design and build electricity generation projects but such will be scarce. In my opinion, getting the funding required is not as hard as getting experienced people to plan and build it.

yes, I am using the 7days auction, but no bid yet.


@jammeyboy ... hi pals. Hope you didn't make the buy now too high, same thing for the starting bids.

Relist the domains if you get no interested buyers. You simply need to keep relisting them in the auction. If you have got great domains, you will get some interest soon.

Generalkorex:
So no one is ready to list my domains for me.
I was just charged $15 each renewal fee for 2 of the domain names

I don't understand your message; you should also look for renewal coupons or simply transfer the domain name elsewhere. You will end up with a $8 bill rather than the 15.
Politics / Today's Quote For President Buhari & Others (1) by CPriest: 5:51am On Feb 10, 2016
“It’s time to care; it’s time to take responsibility; it’s time to lead; it’s time for a change; it’s time to be true to our greatest self; it’s time to stop blaming others.”

― Steve Maraboli, Unapologetically You: Reflections on Life and the Human Experience
Business / The Problem With Nigeria Is Not PHCN. The Problem Is Stupidity by CPriest: 7:43am On Feb 09, 2016
I am driven to continue with the series on how stupid we seem to be in Nigeria because of the current 40% in electricity tarriff. I saw one comparison of electricity costs in Cape Town (South Africa's most expensive area) and Ojuelegba Lagos. The poor man living in a one room face to face pays more than the rich of Cape Town for electricity.

Now I bring to you three stories, one of a German village of about 160 homes which generates electricity, the other village generates and sells, and the second is the day peopl were paid to use electricity in Texas. Yes, that is real.

This small German village called Wildpoldsried produces its own power, produces 5x more than it needs, and sells the remaining making $7m annually from selling excess electricity. At the moment, Wildpoldsried has a wide variety of renewable energy facilities, including 11 wind turbines that have a capacity of about 12 MW, solar photovoltaics with a 4,900 kWp capacity, that are mostly mounted on private homes, along with five biogas plants, three hydro power plants, and a solar thermal system. What’s even more admirable, many projects were financed by the town’s residents themselves, with a small help from the Bavarian Government.

The second village called Feldheim has a population of 160. Yes, 160. They contributed 3000 - 4000 Euros each (about N1million each before Naira broke), and today they are totally off-grid. They make their own power! The wind farm now has 47 turbines, which produce 175 million kilowatt hours of electricity every year. The town of Feldheim uses just one per cent of that, the rest is sold back into the wider grid. Residents and businesses now pay a third less for their electricity than other German communities, at 16.5 eurocents per kilowatt hour.

Sometimes in 2015, a very strange thing happened: The so-called spot price of electricity in Texas fell toward zero, hit zero, and then went negative for several hours. As the Lone Star State slumbered, power producers were paying the state’s electricity system to take electricity off their hands. At one point, the negative price was $8.52 per megawatt hour. There have been 84 records of such instances as at 2015, imagine you getting paid for using electricity.

But why are we always getting things wrong? They tell us we pay more for running generators, it is only a core fool that will compare generators with public utility and use cost of running generators as a model for pricing electricity. And it is only in Nigeria you see such reasoning.

Hey Mate, except you leave in a "Shark" Electricity bill in Cape Town and Johannesburg are way higher than what you stated .

You want to know how I know ?? I own a house in Johannesburg , precisely Jackal Creek Golf Estate in NorthGate area and it's rented out and I can assure you that the monthly bills paid for electricity per month by my tenant is within 800 rands per month during spring and summer and about 1200 rands during Winter.

Did you even know about the 12% increase in Tariff that was introduced by city Power around July 2015 ??

So why are you deceiving people .



Who is deceiving who? I have actually been waiting for people like you to surface.

1. Did you see that graph? Where is Nigeria on the graph and where is South Africa?
2. It is called a shack, not shark. Shows you don't know SA talkless of knowing what obtains
3. Did you ever see any shack with 3-bedroom shack around CPT?
4. See what another typical SA user posted

Ramsgate KZN, 59c / kwh
19.35 kwh / day
2 bedroom apartment, 2 people.
600 kwh / month.
600 / 31 = 19.35 kwh per day

Charged : R355.68 inc vat

5. You ask your 'tenant' what he does with electricity. I gave you real life stuff of what we use, not what some tenants use. 4 rooms, 4 refridgerators, 3 TVs, laptops, 1PC, stove, geyser. December / January usage

6. Check average monthly consumption of SA and you'll see more. How many KWh does your tenant consume in a month?

See this - For your family of 4, you should not be spending more than 40kWh per day (but this is already quite a lot). Remember, your household situation (like your pool, electric fences, garage doors, outside lights, security system and appliances inside all use electricity).

estimated bill is not a tariff. I have 3 bulbs and used 2000 naira for a year minus fixed charge of course in Abuja where light was very scanty

Let me even agree with you, though I find your submission very strange. Even if all you pay including fixed charges was N2000 for just 3 bulbs, you have been well cheated. The other man who had bulbs everywhere (even for his dog) and heaters, stoves, games, TVs only paid N60,000 for that luxury. You paid 1/30 of that for nothing!

Make sure you leave their money or you will be in trouble, they don't take their money immediately. Sometimes it takes several days before the actual cash leaves your card. Just make sure you have sufficient cash in your account please.
Politics / Electricity Prices - Ojuelegba Vs Cape Town by CPriest: 12:50am On Feb 09, 2016
Cape Town, South Africa. 3 bedroom apartment with
1. electronics in every room,
2. 4 burner and oven electric stove,
3. water geyser (giant water heater)
4. 247 power supply.

How much do you pay ESKOM? R300 or about N5000 monthly for electricity.


Ojuelegba, Lagos.
One room face me with
1. one bulb,
2. one socket,
3. 12 hours weekly power.

PHCN charges N5k. Aluta continua.

As at 2011, Nigeria carried one of the highest electricity tarriffs.

oduastates:

Either your ego or self esteem is hurt or not . The truth is that Nigerians are seen in bad light .
Fact.
From place of work to airports all around the world , Nigerians have earned a very bad reputation.

1. A can picked me to the airport, the role model of this guy was Aliko Dangote. This guy is not Nigerian by the way. He knew much more about Dangote than I knew.

2. I met the dad of one of my friends in church. The man met me and said 'Oga'. We smiled, laughed and gisted. He had nothing but love and encouragement for us.

3. I worked on academic project with people (non Nigerians), and most of them can only remember Nigerians for hardwork, diligence, and excellence.

4. One lady once told me if she gets to the hospital and can't get Nigerian doctors to attend to her, she will rather go home than allow doctors from her nation to attend to her.

5. The organisation I was had a Nigerian. He is not only a continental force, he is a global force in his field.

I tell people, you see Nigerians at your level. If you live in drug ridden ghettos, you will see Nigerians hustling there, and you will say they Nigerians are people with bad reputation. If you live a high class life, you will see Nigerians with big dreams and you will say Nigerians love luxury. So whereever you turn, there is a Nigerian for you. You just have to turn in the right direction and you will see a Nigerian with great reputation.

Dis ban issue of a thing, try changing ur ip address, I think you should also have another NL account incase one gets ban u can use the other. As for the . Info kindly share let see if we can get some too.
Also when listing on GoDaddy which type is listing you one use, is it 7days auction, offer/counter, offer/counter wit BIN or BIN only.
And don't forget the expired domains settings you promised us o.

Thanks for that. I don't think one can change the IP except I use VPN. Considering that but I also have to be careful. I got into problem with 1and1 sometimes when I used a VPN.

Here are some infos @jammeyboy

Hope you can get one or two of the best (as per your research). You can use any option on the Gdaddy as you desire. I start with a 7 day auction and set my Buy Now as I desire. I can simply relist it if it didn't sell.

@ollybode, @ollykay619, @jammeyboy

I am sorry I have been out of here. I am beginning to think I have problems with the IP address the network gives me when I connect. Seems it contributes to getting bannd (am not sue). I am suspecting as I can't make orders on a few sites.

That said, @akinswaggs seems there is no more Paypal option for accounts opened on Godaddy after 2014 or so. @ollybode you can use who.is or whois.net to see who owns a domain name and when it was registered etc.

Two issues are outstanding.

1. How to get Paypal accounts to receive sales - a company can do this for you but they charge a monthly fee, else you can use some NLs
2. The issue of Godaddy - I think it is better to just stick to their checks. But you need to open a domicilliary account - I will confirm this later with other banks.

Thanks everyone who cared to check up on me. Am grateful. I got some .infos I think may be worth a few dollars

You can list them for sale on Flippa
I will advise you use estibot .com at least to find out the rough potentials of your domain name.
CB BASE ANTENNA isn't bad, but aoaklandcash? it is poor. OaklandCashShop could have been better.

But all the same, it is a learning process and I hope you get good bucks from your investments.
