Ask HN: what unwanted domain names are you sitting on?

Posted by stevejalim on Thursday June 11, 2009 @12:04PM
from the ask-hn dept.
While thinking of ever more imaginative ways to punish domain squatters following yet another abandoned hunt for a domain-cum-product name, I finally became aware of the irony that I am sitting on a few decent domain names that I'm not using.

Then, I wondered, if one of the parked domains I've come across recently is held just by someone like me, not maliciously or out for profit, but just as a by-product of a non-startup startup, an abandoned weekend hackery project or whatever really.

So, rather than set up www.domainnameswap.com (partly because the name is parked ;o) ), how about a thread where we have a rummage down the back of the sofa and throw in any parked domains we'd be willing to give/swap away. If there's a match up, the relevant poster is contactable via their HN profile.

[Note: this idea may tank, but it's got to be worth a try. My fingers are being worn shorter with each fruitless domain search]

I'm sitting on tons, but I've given plenty away over the years too, so I don't think of myself as malicious. Nearly all are from project ideas I had but then never followed up on.

ajaxday.com* amonad.com* cocoainside.com* detailedlook.com javascriptinside.com jotpack.com* jsinside.com pythonflow.com pythoninside.com railgrinder.com* railsteam.com (currently giving this away) railswebhosting.com rorhosting.com rubyonrailswebhosting.com richlanguage.com rollwall.com roted.org* rotes.org* rubyandhow.com rubypedia.com rubyweekly.com scalainside.com* spacepit.com* startupfreude.com* superyay.com* tipteam.com* topichub.com*

I don't think I'd be willing to unconditionally give/swap away all of these, but I'd say for at least half I would (I've put stars next to those). For example, I consider the Rails Web hosting ones to have value - I just haven't bothered to do anything with them yet. Some of the others I am "squatting", in a sense, in order to prevent competitors infringing on my brand.

Sorry for the formatting.. too lazy to fix it, but actually realized it doesn't look too bad as a horizontal list anyways..

I've adopted a sort of honor-driven set of conditions with the people I've given them to - a "domain traders' code," if you will:

1) If you don't use the domain, I get first refusal to have it back. 2) If you do use the domain, and if I request, you'll give me a link on the site someplace. (More a speculative thing than anything..) 3) If you go on to sell the domain/site for big bucks, you'll remember me and get me something from my Amazon wishlist ;-)

It's all honor-bound and ridiculously hard to enforce, but I'm a big believer in honor, so who knows.. :)

Has anyone considered changing their parked domains to say:

"This domain is free to anyone who will develop it into something. All that is required is that they feature a link to my other project/site %s for the first year."

Re:Ask HN: what unwanted domain names are you sitting on? by patio11 on Thursday June 11, 2009 @08:18PM (#653917)
I bought a domain name (actually, the big three) for a phrase that would be instantly recognizable on HN, with the intention of using it for a weekend project. Halfway through the weekend, before it was publicly accessible, I got an email from a chap in Italy saying it was his heart's desire to use that name for his software company, and could I please give him the domain name.

I'll mention to you what I mentioned to him : if you have hearts desire, you can afford $10 for a reg fee the SECOND you think of that domain name. (This is why I routinely buy them for weekend projects.)

But I am a softie for small software companies, so I made him a deal: I'd keep the domain pointed at his DNS servers for a year, meaning he gets 100% practical use out of the domain. If, at the end of the year, he had a software company active on the site, I'd transfer it to him gratis. If not, I'd keep it.

I think that everyone wins for that, except my weekend project. (Sure, I could technically screw him over, but I value my reputation far more than my domain names, even a pretty nice one.)

Once the deal was done, they could shaft you. The only thing you could do was keep ownership and grant technical administration over to the new domain user for a year. Would they want that?

Would they want that?

Well, if I knew the domain holder personally, fine for them to keep the reins, but if I didn't, I prob wouldn't/couldn't take the getting-held-to-ransom risk if things took off. I don't have investors, but I bet people who do would say the same thing, only more emphatically

I agree with you, but the amusing thing is that all of these problems could be solved with a simple contract. Lease with option to buy at set price, or guarantee to sell unless breached, etc.

Its probably a 1 page contract, even. The real issue is trying to enforce it if someone defaults on that contract - it could get impossible/expensive if they are out of the country.

Good idea.

Although I've also had luck just emailing the contact for a domain, and finding they were willing to give it up. Worst case scenario is some squatter overvalues it and won't sell for a reasonable price. But it is always worth asking.

I even had one person randomly email me offering $500 for one of my domains. I didn't reply right away, and two hours later, he upped the offer to $1000. I had the cash in hand by the end of the day. Easiest money ever.

Yea, I've had the same thing happen to me with a name that I posted on Sedo :)

For what it's worth, owning a domain and not developing it is not "domain squatting" which is defined by law as "registering, trafficking in, or using a domain name with bad faith intent to profit from the goodwill of a trademark belonging to someone else."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cybersquatting

There is nothing wrong with owning a domain and not developing it. It's the same as making a speculative investment, just like in real estate or any other asset. We all wish we were there in 1990 to scoop up the best names, but just because we weren't doesn't make the smart people who did unethical.

Re:Ask HN: what unwanted domain names are you sitting on? by graemep on Thursday June 11, 2009 @01:17PM (#653129)
I do not think real estate, or other investments are a good example. They require paying market value, which means that only those who can genuinely find mis-pricing can make a consistent profit, and by doing that they improve market efficiency.

Getting a domain through registrations does not do this, because it requires only registration not payment. For a better analogy, compare how easy it is with the requirements of the (US) <a href="http://www.archives.gov/education/lessons/homestead-act/>... Act of 1863</a>. It required improving the land over a five year period and imposed a size limit. It is easy to imagine what would have happened without that requirement: a few people would have made vast claims, far beyond what they could develop.

Re:Ask HN: what unwanted domain names are you sitting on? by breck on Thursday June 11, 2009 @01:21PM (#653140)
I don't think the real estate analogy fits. You have to pay significant property taxes each year to own real estate(not just $6).

I think a better analogy is registering a corporate name or trademark. If you don't use it, you lose it. You can't just register it and then prevent other people from using that name indefinitely unless they pay you off.

Re:Ask HN: what unwanted domain names are you sitting on? by stevejalim on Thursday June 11, 2009 @12:29PM (#653005)
Yes, you're right. It's just a bit frustrating as we approach a time when it seems like there'll be nowt left to register unless we cough up six figures for a .mycompany TLD

Clearly, I'm not in the my most forgiving of moods, tho

buyitwhen.com

I've had this idea that when you see things you don't want to pay new price for, you can look them up, enter the price you'd prefer to pay, and get a notification when a merchant hits that price point - best for technology and gadgets where the price tends to fall over a predictable curve.

But I've been too lazy to build it out. I'm reconsidering after seeing the other day it gets 400 monthly uniques just for existing.

I have jeejah.net, and would love to develop it into some kind of site for advanced mobile phone stuff. You'd have had to have read Neil Stephenson's Anathem to get the reference though.

Speaking of something that would be anathema to many here, if web sites are going to be 'properties', then why don't they have property taxes based on the last sale value? That might keep people from squatting - they'd be "forced" to either develop the site into something that generates revenue, or sell it. In theory at least... I don't really think it is a good idea, but it's something to consider.

I've had good luck with godaddy's auctions. They have a good, powerful search (you can specify tld's and set a max length and blacklist characters), and their buy-it-now feature allows you to instantly separate inexpensive domains from domains owned by, er, less rational holders.

For example, the auction for eventjunky.com is ending in 10 minutes, and the price is $10. not bad. I also saw asdense.com on there the other day for $5 buy it now... I thought that would be a domain squatter's dream, but decided to pass it up :P

linux-inside.com.

I was looking round for a new computer to run linux on. There are lots of little companies that will sell you a computer with linux preinstalled, but they mainly have short product lines, so you have to check out loads of websites. With windows, there are companies which will put together the computer you want set it up for you.

I thought it would be a good idea if there was one place where all the small linux companies could list their product lines so they would be easier to find. Then the experience of buying a computer for linux would be closer to buying one for windows.

It became less urgent for me because I bought a computer :-) Anyone wants to execute on the idea, I'll give you the domain. Someone else has linuxinside.com, BTW.

dcrowd.com - I had the idea to make a portal type of site for D programming language, maybe even expand it from the start to Development Crowd - hence d crowd being ambiguous. I even made a logo that I am satisfied with http://www.dcrowd.com/t_logo/dcrowd_logo_table.png

hmm maybe I'll make it, who knows. I have another project going on right now that takes a lot of time, so maybe after that.

I have a had many domains over the years that I decided to just let go of by not renewing, and then watched someone take them and do nothing with it. It's aggravating because now I have the ability to make these sites and can't because someone has had the domain for 6 years and never once updated it!

Currently, the only domain I'm really sitting on is:

www.hackershabitat.com

Currently infested by 4789 bots, and hasn't been touched in over a year. I just don't know what to do with it.

If someone finds their way back to this thread, I did end up writing the site.

Granted it took me a more than the 15 hours (more like a part-time week) but the result is up: http://hogornot.com

Is was good to pick up django, jquery etc. It has little content right now but anyway -- it's up!

Re:Ask HN: what unwanted domain names are you sitting on? by run4yourlives on Thursday June 11, 2009 @07:08PM (#653843)
Scripts?

It's a database table with images with scores that are randomly accessed and presented to the user.

When the user clicks on a photo, + to score, and reload the page with new photos.

All the rest is just candy, really.

Point being either it is trival to create this yourself, or you could google it.

Re:Ask HN: what unwanted domain names are you sitting on? by EGF on Friday June 12, 2009 @11:26AM (#654783)
Point well taken. I usually use a simple request to show interest in a new category, and hope someone interested gets involved. My interest is in something slightly more complicated than the turnkey sites that are out there, as well as more of a helpful tool to entrepreneurs and advertisers - the thesis of the idea is best represented by an "ornot script" but it goes beyond another "me too" site that already exists. My thoughts of adding value using something that is fairly widespread may be futile though.

Re:Ask HN: what unwanted domain names are you sitting on? by run4yourlives on Friday June 12, 2009 @01:06PM (#654983)
Understood. I was responding to a guy that is sitting on a domain though. That means it's a net loser for him unless he does something with it.

Now, you can approach that by dedicating a lot of time and effort into building something unique, as you would like to do, or you can just realize that the market is pretty bare and launch something that will make some pocket change at worst.

Given that he's considering giving the domain away for free, I simply suggested he do the latter.

In the face of the current economic conditions (i.e., US is at a terrible consuming/producing imbalance, and, well.. the only future in light of this is grim), these quick-buck strategies that seem to appeal only to the lowest common denominator start to seem alluring, indeed, only for the quick bucks. Wouldn't it be a better idea to allocate your time and resources elsewhere? Perhaps at something that may prove to be fruitful in the long term?

Very awesome idea. It's super cool seeing so many folks trading, selling, and even giving away domains to other hackers looking to start a project.

Myself, I've only ever owned domains for intended projects and when it became clear that a project wasn't getting developed ever, I'd simply let the domain die for someone else to hopefully get it and make a project out of it.

Most of mine are .com.au or .net.au (e.g., body.net.au, industry.net.au, rating.com.au, lends.com.au, knows.com.au, etc), but I have three .coms I have never got around to using:

twitcorps.com Plan was for a register of businesses using Twitter, categorised by how they were using it and how well they were using it. It would be a way for newcomers to get ideas on how their businesses could give it a crack.

topictwits.com The idea was basically wefollow.com, but then that got released and so I forgot about it.

popslide.com First idea was for people to email a bunch of photos and get back a URL pointing to a quick, thumbnailed gallery. Like what Posterous does, but for one-offs. Second idea was for something similar, but you'd email a sequence of statements and you'd get back a URL pointing to an animated Flash presentation (a la Powerpoint) that you could tweak and style later.

mostly shits and giggles. the combinations of domains <$10 & alcohol has led to unintentional squatting of some sort for me the better part of 10 years..

lawgician was going to be a digg/reddit type of thing for legal news -- i don't think its gonna happen soon as doing this right would involve more time than I can give right now.

poofilter originally was intended to filter political news and somehow assess the bias level of the source from left to right, blue to red. someone else did this recently but I forget the name.

obamanutpunch was going to be a simple lolcat-type site of photoshopped photos of president obama punching people in the nuts (see chuck norris here http://www.flickr.com/photos/hitesh/3254005822/). Later, I found out that there were actually 2 definitions in urban dictionary for the term (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Obama%20Nut%2...)

I think its fine as long is at doesn't in any way suggest approval or endorsement of the President.. Public figures are pretty much fair game.

my idea was for plugin that redirects ecommerce and affiliate-able purchase/product web page links through a hub-site and inserts the site's affiliate id, tracks any original affiliate for record-keeping, collects a commission through having service accounts at each affiliate site (amazon, ebay, etc) and pays the USER a kick-back for their purchase with the site via collecting the commission on their behalf.

Realized they'd be many hurdles and technicalities, but could make a lot of money, perhaps.
