I was away for much of the weekend, so I didn’t have a chance to listen to Ed’s interview with David and Michael Castello until today. The Castellos are two of the smartest guys in the industry, and this is a great interview. As I’ve mentioned many times, David and Michael gave me tons of great advice along the way to developing Lowell.com, and I am grateful to them for their contributions.

I recommend that you take some time to listen to the interview when you have a chance.

DCA Ambassador of the Year award winners David and Michael Castello have quietly launched one of their company’s flagship domain names, Manicure.com. Although Manicure.com is still in its embryonic stage, the Castello Brothers are willing to peel back the curtains and allow domain investors and developers the rare opportunity to see the final stages of development of this great generic domain name. Once completed, Manicure.com will feature manicure tips, product information and much more.

The full and celebrated launch of Manicure.com is expected to be in about a month, but we will have an inside look at the final steps to developing this generic domain name into a fully functioning, multi-purpose website. David is willing to share daily updates with readers as the website continues to grow, creating a reference tool for other developers who may be facing the same struggles. I think this is a great opportunity for anyone who is going down the path of development and wants to see how the professionals do it.

Feel free to post comments or questions, and I am sure David or Michael will be happy to address them.

I have a great deal of respect for David and Michael Castello and what they’ve done for the domain industry.  Not only do they own an incredible group of developed geodomains including LagunaBeach.com, WestPalmBeach.com, and Nashville.com (among others), but they also have some other great generic non-geo related domain names names as well.

Aside from their tremendous portfolio of domain names, the Castello Brothers are genuinely nice guys who are always willing to give advice. I am especially thankful for the advice they have both given me for my Lowell.com development project. Recently, they were interviewed on SimplyGeo.com in a two part interview. Part One of the interview was posted yesterday, and Part Two was just posted today. This interview is a must read!
