events Halloween Domain Names

[Bob Hawkes]

I had a little fun with my most recent post at NameTalent, looking at domain names involving Halloween. I of course looked at the sales history in the term, and how the major legacy extensions in use. The top sale was CostumesForHalloween.com $16,500 (2012). But the fun part was I spent several hours pouring through the new extensions (and some country codes) to find names in the exact word Halloween. I speculate on how each might be used. Here are some of my favourites, but there are dozens and dozens at the full article in link at bottom.

• Halloween.associates (Those are the friends you Trick or Treat with.)
• Halloween.capital (Is your town the Halloween capital?)
• Halloween.casino (Gambling your scares away!)
• Halloween.coach (Everyone needs one! Costume advice and treat route planning.)
• Halloween.consulting (Like coach, but sounds more expensive.)
• Halloween.energy (Kids have a lot of this!)
• Halloween.farm (I think it grows only pumpkins)
• Halloween.finance (Spread out your costume costs over 12 easy payments!)
• Halloween.fitness (Let’s work off that Halloween candy!)
  
• Halloween.id (Hey you in that costume, show us your ID!)
• Halloween.institute (We will teach you how to Trick or Treat!)
• Halloween.kitchen (Where spooky delights are baked!)
• Halloween.lawyer (To represent you after those holiday tricks that went astray!)
• Halloween.loans (Party now, pay later!)
• Halloween.money (You’ve heard of cryptocurrencies, but what about goblin currencies?)
• Halloween.pizza (I can only imagine the toppings!)
• Halloween.properties (Only haunted houses here!)
• Halloween.restaurant (Haunted dishes on every page of the menu!)
• Halloween.shoes (Every good costume needs shoes! What colour do you want? We only sell orange!)
• Halloween.software (Our code has no bugs, except spiders!)
• Halloween.tax (The government takes the fun out of everything!)
• Halloween.tours (This perfect domain name won’t last for long!)
• Halloween.vin (Not a white or red, but an aged orange!)

Remember, this is just a sampling. See all of them at the full post!

I also ask why the .boo extension is so scary, Google!

Have a fun, safe and happy Halloween everyone!

ps While seemingly available to hand register at non-premium rates last night, it is of course possible some have gone since then, or that my registrar had the premium status wrong on a few of them. Due your due diligence in the haunted world of domain names!

I should have thought to include a poll here with the above, but in case you want to vote, I have a Twitter poll going on the best extension for Halloween. The options are

• .boo (what else?) .
• .fun
• .party
• .com (for those who say .com is the answer no matter what the question is!).

The link to poll for Twitter users is:

Just 6 votes so far, but .boo already has as many votes as domains registered .

This would also be a great thread to share any Halloween domain names you own! I have none!
It's not scary, tell us what you have!

great domains, thanks for sharing. I like Halloween.casino.

Yes I knew that .boo was still not in release @Grilled (I do point out it only has 2 registrations, by registry I presume), but it was too good an extension for the poll not to include, and seems likely to win. So if Google is reading this why not release .boo next Halloween! Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween.
