Here is an interesting bit of background intel on the subject.
The member
@Robbie has put up a post (
https://www.namepros.com/threads/domains-owned-by-the-castello-brothers-inc.1194758/ ) linking to his blog and concerning the domains that are owned by the David and Michael Castello (not exactly newbies to the domaining game
).
I have gone through the list to see if there was anything of interest, and the immediate thing that jumps out is the number of hyphened domains they own. (It should be stressed that from the list the unhyphenated are far more numerous than the hyphenated domains, but I think the results would surprise many.)
Firstly, the hyphened domains the Castello brothers own where they also own the exact same unhyphenated domains:
apache-junction.com
baracoa-cuba.com
canoga-park.com
cathedral-city.com
david-castello.com
delray-beach.com
golf-club.com
hobe-sound.com
huatulco-mexico.com
island-of-youth.com
isle-of-youth.com
jessica-michelle.com
jibaco-cuba.com
jupiter-island.com
merritt-island.com
miami-design-district.com
michael-seven.com
palm-canyon-drive.com
palm-spring.com
singer-island.com
viti-levu.com
Now the list of hyphenated domains where the Castello brothers do not own the unhyphenated domain:

Look at the number of hyphened Geo's in the list, amazing.
Just thought this might be some good background information for everyone.
