Where the heck have ALL the domain names gone?

[fatality_uk]

I remember trying to get domain names a few years back, but the situation seems to be getting SO much worse!!! Almost everything I can think of a for a business name, that domain has gone. As you might guess, 99.9% of them are "parked"!!!

Anyone else having a pain trying to find domains.

[juancarlospaco]

I have parked all domains, i sell you one if you want to,
im also buying fixed public IPv4 addresses, and selling it x3 of the price.

nice one.
looks like that type of .be pun would also all be taken by domain squatters.


I guess you're looking for domains of the form companyname.com; so how hard can it be - the domain squatters have registered all possible company names ?

What kind of domain name are you interested in?

Yes for a new company. I will get something!! Thing is, just try and think of a good name for a new brand, then check for a domain :) Lots of stuff is taken.

[sandyd]

yeah. A lot of good domains are taken. Just tried registering "google.com" with no luck :(

You do realize you can try and pay top-dollar for a particularly good domain name, right? You just sometimes need to get a ridiculous amount of money, someone to negotiate it, etc. It's not really a case of them being gone, they just cost more.

Does it suck? Absolutely, but that doesn't mean you can't grab it from somebody.

[annoyingrob]

funny, I had absolutely no problem registering annoyingrob.com :)

Very true. However I some of the prices I have seen quoted for domains are way off the scale. They start at about $1500 for some, which quite frankly, **** Turpin would have been ashamed to quote :)
