Domains
« on: January 30, 2007 - 11:34:56 AM »
Over the last few weeks there have been several stories on slashdot and other sites about domain squatters, droppers, companies that specialize in getting  deleted domains the instant they become available, and folks owning hundreds of thousands of domains making millions of dollars strictly on advertising, cross links, and reselling domains that expired due to oversight or negligence, etc.  Depressing and interesting at the same time (I'm a capitalist all the way, so the depressing part is that I'm not making that money!)

So I went to Godaddy and just started typing in names to see what might be available.  Cuda this, Challenger that, Mopar yadda.... gone, gone, gone...

1971challenger.com.  No go.  71Challenger.com...  Available.  Dang!  How did somebody not register that years ago?

Not available any more!

It'll be a while before I have time to do anything with it beyond a one-page free site, so now I'm a nefarious greedy selfish capitalist pig domain squatter, but my car has its own domain now.  It will be so pleased!

I used this place for a free one.

I also used this software to turn my old computer into a web server. It works great and now I have almost unlimited space with NO POPUPS!

Rare,
     i have a static ADSL connection with open TOS and a dedicated web/app server I already use for other purposes.  Unlimited space, full control, and free of microsoft stuff too.  All I lack is the time to put the site up on it, but I'll make time as soon as I can.

Why you little.......just kidding.  I never would have thought that would be available or I would have taken it.   

Good find!   :2thumbs:
