How we created dark mode on Name.com

How to increase your eCommerce sales during this holiday season

By Alisha Shibli

Holiday seasons are always a special time but the 2020 holidays are slated to be unlike any other, just like the rest of this tumultuous year.

Small businesses, short domains, incredible gifts. Here’s your 2020 holiday shopping guide

People get excited about big companies doing things. We get it. We aren’t any different. When we saw Apple Inc pick up Apple.news and Amazon acquire Amazon.rocks, we felt a world championship validation that still keeps us warm during winter months. But we’ve felt best when people who don’t have the big Apple budget get the exact domain they want because, with TrueName domains, you can.
