debate A small portfolio of 47 random domains survived 22 years.

[katerleonid]

I was tracking some expired domain names using the Web Archive and found a small portfolio of 47 domains. I checked all of them, and only 4 are not registered today, the other 90% are still registered. Of course, some were dropped over the years but they were registered again (or again). These domains aren’t premium or fancy; they’re just regular names.

So my question is simple: the fact that this person’s portfolio has “survived” almost 23 years - in one form or another - does that mean the domainer chose good names? Or does it mean nothing at all?

Mean nothing, Scenario repeated most of the time , Part of life cycle of undeveloped/second tier domains , register ---> hold ----> drop , New excited comers picking from frustrated quitters !

The picture doesn’t contain all 47. Here is the original Web Archive link: https://web.archive.org/web/20030607125508/http://www.cupidmates.com/

Nearer.com , is a super premium Domain

 

[katerleonid]

It seems the original owner dropped it in 2008.

Nearer com

 

[HiFiNames.com]

Good research / quality time spent.

Below are interesting to me.
ceroi.com
cloudy.net
php5.net
nearer.com
foodfinder.org (.org suits for Non Profit)

But some domains I wonder whry they spend in re-reg / renew

 

[katerleonid]

php5.net is redirecting in a strange way now. I love digging through old portfolios to see what happened to the domain names. I could be wrong, but some domains feel like they’re being re-registered out of nostalgia, not actual value.
