DNKitchen.com is getting a face lift and changing names in an attempt to broaden the range of topics discussed beyond domaining. 2009 is going to be the start of something new for many people all over the world. The internet is no exception.

For several months novice and experienced domainers alike have been flocking to DNKitchen for the latest in domaining news. Chef Patrick and his sou-chefs have been cooking up blogs about all things domaining. They’ve been serving up some fine cuisines of tips and tricks of the trade, great high profile interviews and funny comic strips.

DNKitchen has acquired a multitude of loyal followers in a very short amount of time. After having this small taste of success, Chef Patrick has decided to branch out. DNKitchen.com will be known as ChefPatrick.com effective immediately.

The change should prove to be an exciting difference. This will open up the conversation to topics of online issues such as making money online, blogging, development and more instead of just domaining alone. While domaining will remain the main topic of discussion, Chef Patrick will also chronicle any attempts of making money through the internet. During the process he will openly discuss what he’s doing, how he’s doing it and what he’s making on ChefPatrick.com.

While change is not easy for some people to swallow, hopefully ChefPatrick.com will create some recipes for success we all can follow and prosper from.

Directly from MysteryDomainAuction.com:

” Following legal advice obtained as a result of concerns raised by fellow domaining bloggers and some NamePros members about the legality of an all-pay auction in the US where this site is hosted in addition to consideration of the problems I may face at the end of the auction in case more than one person bids with the same amount which is very likely I have decided that the best option is to cancel this auction effective immediately.

All affiliates that made sales have been paid out of my own pocket. “

I would at least like to know what the mystery $10,000 domain name was.

Yesterday, someone by the name of John Motson, created a site called MysteryDomainAuction.com, which he plans to reveal a domain name at day 50 of a 100 day auction, that is supposedly valued at $10,000. The highest bidder at the time of the auction ending will win the domain name. Until then… you can bid in $0.01 increments if you’d like.. but any bids made now are completely useless in my opinion, since only the high bid wins.

I have plans myself in creating a site similar, but for sites instead of domains. The site is already being developed and will be including several more features and prizes. Stay tuned! If you have any ideas, suggestions, or advice for it, please feel free to let me know.
