OnlineDomain.com Domain Name News & Opinions
Helmuts Meskonis from 27.be did a live interview with Page Howe on YouTube.
I enjoyed the interview. It is always interesting and quite informative to listen to Page.
Here is the video interview:
From the YouTube description:
Page Howe is a domain investor who buys and sell domain names. Page has applied for New Tld’s as far back as 2002, started a registry company in 2001 and placed two sales on the all time top domains sold list back in 2007 and 2008. Besides his million dollar plus sales, Page has sold over 5000 names for upwards of $5,000,000.
Top sales: Page sold Seniors.com, which he purchased for $100,000, for $1.8 million (or $1.5 million after commission). A few months later, he sold Guy.com for $1 million. He had only owned the domain for about a month.
Page is also a Consultant, Educator, Speaker and Blogger.
Besides his portfolio of 5-6000 domain names, Page runs the Local Marketing for the .LA namespace, a cctld repurposed for use in Los Angeles, the #1 Global City for Style, Movies, Trends, Fashion, Music and Real Estate.
Page produces the blog and video content at DN.BIZ, and promotes TopCoin, the loyalty crypto token for websites and domainers. Lastly, Page promotes the concept of emoji domains, the worlds only global, color, visual and emotional domains. Emoji domains are the world most popular language on billions of smartphones globally.
Page truly believes in the concept of domains names as investments and power a good domain name can bring to any website or business. And for investors, wants to help promote a happy, healthy domain industry; and successful starts for new domain investors globally.
Page splits his time between Los Angels and Tennessee.

Great interview indeed. However, it’s way too long! I believe a shorter and/or edited interview will be more effective for the viewers.
This was a great interview. I have to say that Page Howe is such a great guy. He gets the different markets/niches, understands risk and reward and he’s humble. He’s the anti-Schwartz.
Although Page has had a couple of huge sales, he is more aligned with the average domainer in understanding the importance of cashflow and keeping domains selling even at the $500-2k range. It’s rare to hear this even on DomainSherpa or from the DomainSnowflake but it’s a crucial reality for most domainers. It helps newer domainers also see if what they are doing is working out or not. Also $8 to $100 buys that you can sell within a year for $500 to $2000 is a great business, especially when scaled.
Page is also open minded to try new things, emojis and new Gs. He’ll admit it’s a risk and will also acknowledge where he’s lost money and where he’s had success.
Super rare in this industry when you contrast the Tweets of Mike Mann (only showing his upside) and a recent tweet from DomainSnowflake “I only look at domains via 2 buckets. One bucket that has domains w/ values that can exceed $100k. The other is a garbage can.” – Schwartz. What planet is he living on? Domains < $100k are garbage to him??
Anyways, thanks Page for this interview and for being a nice guy who continues to give so much of your time.
