Didn't sex.com go for much more than the #1 slot? Or are we speaking of mainstream e-commerce only?


Oh wait, geez, I don't want this to turn into some, "Adult" discussion lol. :shock:

Paul,
sex.com is a domain name so I will be happy to incluide it but I do not know how much it was sold for, I know about all the lawsuite etc, so how much was it sold for?

I have no idea on the exact amount.

I know it was a lot though.

I just went there and it's nothing but a link/spam farm. :roll:

Ummm,
If I own that domain name I will be selling sub domains/folders, for example for £100 a year you can have a sub domain called: withme . In that sub domain you can have a folder called: /withme/

Good ideea, but having in mind that maybe that domain could cost some milion of USD, I think that you will have to sell a lot's of subdomains . Maybe will be better to buyit build a site increase the value of the domain + site and in 1 year you can sold the domain + site and take a lots of money. Who knows maybe one day the domain that today cost 1 milion USD will cost nothing...who knows wath will be with the internet. So I think that will be better to buyit and then sell it.

Temi, how did you come about these interesting numbers?

[temi]

pinyo,
I found them on the web somewhere I don't remember exactly where but I remember finding about 3 or 4 at Guinness books of world records website.
If you go go: guinnessworldrecords.com
and do a search for: Most Expensive Internet Domain Name , you will find some , other can be found at domain name brokers websites.

Hm... do u guys have any idea how much the domain "www.exxon-mobil.com, www.exxonmobil" cost? Cause I heard some time ago, when there were rumors about exxon and mobil were going to fusion, a Korean registered that domain (s) and made millions.

[temi]

But I don't think he could have sold that because of copyright protection for exxon and mobil, I could be wrong though.
