Tucows lowers its domains guidance and blames expired domains

Tucows trims its domains guidance over expired domains, plus Dynadot and Catched results, .si listings on Sedo, DomainSherpa's NamesCon 2026 auction preview and Domain Name Wire's October recap.

  2. A short brandable .com, batbot.com, topped Dynadot's November 5 closings in a heavily contested auction.
  3. Golden.si is drawing competitive bids on Sedo as interest in Slovenia's ccTLD persists.
