DNHour

What is DNHour.com?

DNHour.com is a user-powered news portal built specially for the domain name industry. On this social content voting site, all news is submitted by its users. Most members are generally from the domain name industry, which includes domain name owners, companies or professionals. Any members can submit domain related content to DNHour.com, and this will enable the content to be viewed by all. The content will be promoted or buried depending on how much it is liked by the community. The more votes the submission gets, the more popular it is. With enough votes, the piece of news will be showcased on the main page of DNHour.com.

The Idea?

Domainers are generally info-hungry people. They want the latest and hottest news in the industry, which means that most of them shuttle between hundreds of domain-related sites everyday, to appease their appetite. Because timing is critical for a domain professional to snag the next big domain name or register a generic keyword domain for an upcoming technology, a news portal with consolidated content is important. What's more, if the content is the most current information, it will be deemed so through the community's votes.

Other than just voting for the hottest news, users can also socially network among their fellow domainers, freely sharing content, ideas and other valuable resources. This way, domainers can create a super resourceful community within the domain industry.

How Are We Different?

We are the first ever community-driven news portal for the domain name industry. Most other news portal are published by editors of the website, whereas, DNHour's news are not; they are published and made popular by its community members.

How Do DNHour.com Make Money?

We create a community to freely share the latest news in the domain industry. The community builds a huge consolidated pool of domain-related resources, and in this way, DNHour will be "sticky" to its members. Because we do all these, we get a targeted population - domainers and companies within the industry - to our portal. With this traffic, opportunities are aplenty for domain industry advertisers to sell their wares. So, we sell them ad space.

And this is how we make money!

Who Are We?

DNHour.com is founded by a serial entrepreneur, Koay Al Vin. As a newbie domainer, he found it difficult to constantly keep up with the latest domaining news and thus, lost out in the domain auction, drop-catching or monetization game.

With an idea to consolidate all the latest news, he incorporated the wildly successful model of Digg.com into the domain industry, giving birth to DNHour.

DNHour's team consists of the founder, Al, his wife and 2 sons, a few cleverly-placed mirrors in the home-office and thousands of domainers worldwide (the community).

He operates from a tiny but beautiful island called Penang, Malaysia.

One other virtual property that is associated with DNHour.com is Zuho.com, another domain industry`s first.
