I\’ve been dabbling with the domain name industry recently. Back in the Internet boom, people were buying up domain names and reselling them for a bucketload of cash. After the bubble burst, domains weren\’t worth what they used to be. However, they are coming back with a vengeance. A few weeks back, some guy sold \”mens.com\” for over a million bucks. That links takes you to a story. I don\’t recommend going to men.com though. It\’s just another porn site. :-(
Nevertheless, perhaps the domain name industry is ripe for a ride up?
I have been developing a couple sites. You can register domains for $7.99 at DomainAnything.com. And in a couple weeks, I\’ll be launching a service called DomainsHourly.com. It is a subscription-based site that sends an hourly email containing the latest .com, .net and .org domain names to expire for lack of renewal. This is a GREAT way to find the domain name that you always wanted. More on this as I get closer to putting it online.
Here are a few domains that I picked up in hopes of reselling them someday:
I\’ll report back when the new site is launched.+
