The article is definitely a good overview of the domaining world but nothing beats having resources like NP and the folks on this forum. Way to go Damion for adding another good resource.

And then you had a domain worth reg fee ;)

It's not the domain Google.com that makes this domain as of now
so valuable but it's what it has become to be!
The most used search engine in the world generating billions of dollars.
