Crazy domain names

I saw a link to 888.com gambling website, and remembered how 8 was a lucky number in China so out of idle curiosity I typed in eight 8s in the url - 88888888.com and to little surprise it was taken by a gambling site. Then I wondered how many eights would be bought up by domain holders.

http://www.88888888888888888888888888888888888.com/ is the most number eights in the url I could find. That's 35 number eights in the domain name (why didn't they get 40 as it's a multiple of 8? - oh, wait they did:

http://www.8888888888888888888888888888888888888888.com/ is actually the most 8s in a domain! I just checked eighty 8s and nobody has bought it if anyone is interested?

Is this the craziest domain ever?

There used to be an email with a list of crazy domain names.

This is one of them: http://www.therapistfinder.com/

No. There are a lot of far more crazier domains out there and I have the com/net/org/biz/info etc zonefiles and see them.

This one probably works quite well for the people looking for rapists... they could do with the therapy!

ispini.com is the craziest I own!

Bard · 08-01-2008 02:34AM

I own a domain that is rude enough to be asterisk'ed out by the automatic censor on boards.ie !

s h i t e d r i v e r s . c o m

(It's about bad driving on Irish roads)

Incidentally, http://www.abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz.com/ exists - but seems to be owned by one of those NEFARIOUS domain parking companies claiming to be a "source for the finest educational choices" ... Riiiightttt...

I was always a fan of this site:

http://www.111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111.com/

I always liked the shortest URL: http://www.com

Bard · 11-01-2008 09:13AM

com.com is owned by C|Net, those clever feckers...
