As you may know, Brent and his team built Hostgator, so I doubt they would resell hosting, but that is just a guess. I am a Create customer and love the service! I also have not seen anything that references another entity with regard to the hosting.
Keep looking. It needs to be simple, memorable, and pass the radio test (and odd spellings / misspellings are not good for passing the radio test.).
You can find lots of great domain deals at:
- DWNE
- NamePros B-)
- NameLiquidate
- Squadhelp
- NameTap.com >> Clubhouse Auction
- GD Auctions

Today I lost my 2nd Sav auction because apparently none of my credit cards or PayPal will go through (it just gives an error saying the payment failed.... on 3 different credit cards plus PayPal). I have a support request in, but this is really disappointing after I decided to use sav this year.
There is probably a strong correlation. I have had people send me their lists for help with brokering and I have also seen thousands of dropped/expired names and it's sad to see so many people spend money on worthless domains.
My other advice to new domain investors would be to start slow until...
Speaking of brokers, I found this site a bit ago when looking into THC domains. I reached out to discuss brokering a few THC domains I have, but did not get a response.

I can share one; SkipTrace.ai. The other is still on a payment plan, so I don't discuss those. (Sorry for the delay in responding, as I have been away from NP.)
@Bob Hawkes Thanks for always keeping us up to date on great names at Name Liquidate.
I just listed a handful as I am streamlining my domaining activities to focus on fewer, but higher quality, names.
Here are a few that I think should sell:
iMuzzle.com - Great e-commerce domain; could be a...
Thanks @Bob Hawkes! I am just getting started on Park.io and found this while doing my research. Just picked up my first .io name and hope to get many more!
ok... I realize I am spending WAY too much time watching Name Liquidate. :-)
Here are a few interesting domains that I see currently (none mine):
artofcello.com - There is a book with this title and several references to the "art of cello" in Google searches.
octophobia.com - Fear of the...
Here are some interesting domains ending soon (none are mine) and my thoughts on their potential.
halfmoonbeach.com - Destination site for MA or Jamaica?
carrycartel.com - Gun owner community?
oxdesigns.com - Potential design firm?
askchatbot.com - Use to sell chat bot services...
Here are a few of mine that I am liquidating listed with NO RESERVE. I have added the GoDaddy (GD) estimates:
nmd.website - My digital agency was going to build websites for naturopathic medical doctors using this domain.
saxophonestrap.com - Great domain for a major sax strap company or for...
No disrespect intended, but it sounds like you got lucky... hyphenated domains are simply poor for branding. Few people will remember the hyphen, so they will likely help whoever has the non-hyphenated domain.
Exactly... remember before crypto and blockchain hit the market? None of those names were taken - or even conceived. I hand regged a bitcoin related domain and flipped it for $499 within a few months and I still have a few other crypto domains. A few years back I hand regged a domain and sold it...
I bought a domain for $600 on a monthly payment plan ($25 per month for 2 years). That's the most I have personally spent. I had intended to build it how (famous last words, right?) but I ended up listing ot at GoDaddy and it sold via Premium listings $2,000.
I would say that was a good ROI.
I...
Welcome Tommy. I have a good friend and colleague from Nashville. We were hanging out today (meeting with a client).
I've never been, so I don't know what "hot chicken" is, so I'll have to Google it.
Cheers!
