Domain Treasure Hunt!

[IconPacks]

Hi guys,

Just thought up an interesting game that might be fun to play... here is the concept:

Basically the idea is a domain name treasure hunt. The tools used are your brain and anything on the internet for domain info searching (whois, ip tools etc...) You get given several linked clues and need to hunt down a target final word (this is the treasure), try to keep the actual clues limited to under 10 I've listed just 7 below.

First one to find the word, becomes the new game master and can set the next treasure/clues.

I'll start with a fairly easy one:

1) starting point: a large worldwide company that makes sports shoes and other products, their name is a four letter word starting with N. domain is using the most popular TLD on the internet.

2) next link: the year which gave birth to this domain+.com

3) next link: Registrant, XXXXXXX beach +.net

4) next link: Country where this domain is hosted + TLD for Germany

5) next link: City for the Admin-C record + 3rd letter of alphabet + .com

6) next link: Add the 3rd part of domain's IP address to the 4th part + .com

7) final word: 2nd word in 1st line of Billing contact.

What is the final word?

Please PM me the word to keep this thread clean of clue answers, thanks.

Good luck! :D

No, sorry the final word is not Lunar.

Sorry, it is not Icon Pack(s)... I have also double-checked everything and made clue 6 easier to understand.

[IconPacks]

rebelagent you've gone wrong somewhere... Seevetal is not the City for the Admin-C record at step 5.

Frankfurt?
Wiesbaden?

there's about six possible names for the hosted city?

1 is nike 2 is 1995 is it not?

 

[IconPacks]

I'm afraid I won't confirm any particular clue/link but Frankfurt and Wiesbaden aren't in step 5.

 

[IconPacks]

Did I make the game too hard?

Ok, I'll confirm that the starting domain is nike.com

Offering $50NP to the first person that can solve this

This was fun. I think I got it. :]

 

[IconPacks]

Yepp, RJ got it... but requested I keep the "game" going, so that $50NP is still up for grabs if anyone wants it?
