Seeking advice on Selling Beij.ing to the Chinese market
The beauty of domain hacks, combinations of keyword and TLD that form a continuous word if one disregards the dot, is demonstrated in the case of Beij.ing. Its registrant is now seeking advice on how to approach Chinese buyers who'd love to own "Beijing."

When you let a domain expire but then renew it, don't transfer it out to another registrar until 45 days have passed. The reason: the transfer won't add another year. Find out which TLDs follow this little-known rule.
