Anyone come across these guys ?

[gazzip]

I was trawling through an expired domain list just passin time and realised that the following company seems to reg just about anything and almost everything.

It seemed like at least every other one is now parked by them - even when i checked the really really crap ones - yes - they have it.

Its weired !!

some of the terrible names IMO are as follows

gulfcoastsanddragassociation.com
HOTLOTTO2000.COM
cashforhomesincollierville.com
BETTER-HEALTH-N-MORE-MONEY.COM
MEDIA-HOTELSOLUTIONS.COM
BUY-HEALTH-N-BEAUTY-ONLINE.COM
ANDERSON-AUTOMOTIVE-GROUP.COM
BEAUTIFULCREATIONSSALON.COM
2003CAMPENGLISHTANOSHIIFOREVER.COM
MECHANICALBREAKDOWNWARRANTIES.COM
FUTUREOFTAXADMINISTRATION.COM

- and Yes – this one ?

THE-SUN-SHONE-HAVING-NO-ALTERNATIVE.COM

their website says the following -

www.kenyatech.com is an international domain name reseller portal. We offer our clients an excellent, ever-growing selection of high quality domain names - names that are not available through traditional domain name registrars.

Kentech specializes in after-market domain names, meaning Kentech has acquired the right to resell these domains to you at discounted rates from an existing domain name registrant. These domain names are exclusively brought to you by Kenyatech.com and are not for sale elsewhere on the Internet.

Any thoughts on this lot ? Do you think they get every one than is not backordered by anyone ?

Betcha:
They register everything that drops, check for traffic, and then "let go" those domains w/o traffic (Since <insert expletive here> is ok) without ever actually having to pay verisign/et al for them.

How do they manage that one ? and do other companies have similar arrangements ?

 

[IAmAllanShore]

Yes; I can't find the threads at the moment, but try searching the forums here and you might come accross the previous discussions... and if I find them, I'll repost.

But when you go to their "for sale" page, they don't even have it in their records yet

What's funny is that they'll probably keep it now that we're sending traffic to it; the traffic that will be gone after we're done talking about it

Maybe that is solution to problem . We all link to these dodgy names so they keep the names .

I click on "Buy Domain" but alas (see above), the-sun-shone-having-no-alternative.com doesn't exist in Kenya Tech's records! :yell:

Mmmmm Sun, quad figuers domain there!

1k for each hyphen

 

[wasistdas]

Better buy my premium hyphened domain

 

[xtremest]

lol. we should take k-e-n-y-a-t-e-c-h.com and make an exchange for these beautiful names!

 

[slaughterbeck]

I’ll bet they’re churning out a solid little profit over the long haul. Perhaps even as high as 2/1 return on investment.

 

[happyme]

The only thing I am sure is that they can make money from these names.

Great idea! It sounds more like a cheerleading squad Motto (Gimme a K! Gimme an E! etc.etc.)

 

[TopSatelliteRadio.co]

These domains could all be used for some Black Hat doorways.

Makes you wonder which lunatics registered some of those in the first place, for them to drop. Personally, I think we should visit those sites so they keep them, afterall, we don't get the ability to register domains to check for traffic, then let them go. :D
