Default Not master of his own domain

Posted By: jay behrens

I should have listened to friends back in the early days of WWW. They went and bought up all sorts of comapny names and made a small fortune cybersquatting on the likes of www.generalmills.com, etc. You can't do that anymore becuase it is now illegal, but in the early days, there was a ton of money to be made in it.

Now days, the only domain names that bring good money are generic names like ww.home.com. I think that one recently sold for several million dollars. But that is the exception and not the rule these days. I know www.hell.com went for a huge sum also and was the record holder for highest price paid for a domain name until home.com sold.

I saw weird stuff in that place last night. Weird, strange, sick, twisted, eerie, godless, evil stuff. And I want in.
