Come on, we all have them :p

My worst ever one was when I was browsing the domain sales - saw SnowMobileRentals.com sold for $14,000. I picked up the .mobi, not knowing what it was for ( :eek: ) and it's still sitting with me now :D

How 'bout you guys?

Haha, I recently was going to setup a site for a chat room through stickam. The name of the chat room was "Goth Redemption" and so I was going to buy "Gothredemption.net"... went to register and forgot the p in the domain...

So yeah, stuck with it right now but we compensated with our porn sounding domain "Gothictacos"

Hehe. I once registered the name of a famous Bulgarian footballer (Berbatov) but spelled the first name wrong. So I'm stuck with

DMITARBERBATOV . COM & . INFO

Also bought Remitee.com thinking it was a word :o

Probably mygalabeya.com and pilates-forum.net

I'm pretty happy with all my other domain names :)

My worst domain deal was purchasing the ORG version of a trade mark name.

That was my early days on the Internet believing I would be able to sell it for millions to the COM's owners.

There was a soap on german tv called "abschlussklasse 2003" (trans.: graduation class 2003) and they had a website abschlussklasse2003.de

I went to register abschlussklasse2005.de and when the year finally came and the show was still on tv, I got a lot of visitors and ring-tone (cell phone) sales on that website. Lasted about a month until I got a letter from the broadcasting tv-station. They asked for €5000 and the domain. I only gave up the domain tho.

I registered a .CO.UK domain (which I won't name) which it turned out had recently dropped and had been used as a local community site for a small village. A few people from that village got in contact, some by email and some by phone, making accusations that I had "stolen" the domain and one person (proprietor of a local restaurant I believe) demanded I pay the bill from his website developer for removing a link to that domain from his website.

I developed the domain, which I was pleased to discover still has some strong backlinks from its previous incarnation, and is doing nicely is Google and Yahoo :).

A friend and I were gonna start a site for fun; stinkyunderwear.com except when my friend registered it he got stinkyunderware.com.........dumbass

That was back in 2000 when it cost $100.00 to register......dumbass.

Anyways, it's long since expired.

I once regged SignUpWithEbay . com ... don't know why I did it as the name made little sense and of course the term was trademarked :p

I currently have 2 variations of copyrighted names. Bought them without realizing it was illegal, so I have them both parked until I figure out how to get rid of them.

After learning html online I purchased my first domain which at first sounded good:


pleazure.co.uk


It was a sexshop, I was dropshipping. I had no idea about SEO, not enough money to purchase a computer. I built it from an internet cafe. That's dedication! :D:D
I wasn't proud of running a sexshop at my young age so I sold the site for XXX$ . Looks like the guy who purchased it didn't survived long. :D


1234567890 . com is a cool domain for warez or hackers' website. ;)

lectersoft.com you have to look at waybackmachine http://web.archive.org/web/20010502172846/http://www.lectersoft.com/ to see the catch phrase. Also, I started working on this site in my location, not realizing what the name really meant, the wife isn't too happy as I can't tell her church friends the name of the site.
