In my first couple months of domaining I remember I regged BlogBarf.com. I have no idea what I was thinking back then, crazy newbie delusion I guess. It is embarrassing for me to even write it here, but I will be brave. Do I win the prize for worst domain ever?



I had a domaining partner back then, we shared everything 50/50; she regged GoogleMogul.com just because it sounded cool. We weren't that informed about TM dangers yet. Corollary: she sold it within a couple months for $850, it was actually our first sale. Looks like it dropped a few times but each time was snapped up again; is still regged and for sale! Crazy

Edit: I just checked, and BlogBarf has still been going strong all these years too! Still alive and regged. Ha ha ha ha haaa.

top100.cheap

It was wrong on so many levels....

 

[FolioTeam]

Too many and too embarrassing to mention

 

[Scrooby]

Probably agricultural.company. I doubt I can ever sell it to someone and it's a premium domain so it cost quite a bit. :D For what it is.

 

[sarah.kate]

I bought several of the .art domains as domain hacks. they were just terrible.

 

[ecomslice]

Yolk.camera among many others.

 

[Joakim]

I regged quick-data.org in 01/02.

Can't believe why.

For a computer startup / school project. The amount of better alternatives were probably humongous.

but I love it

that's not that bad imo, actually I kind of like it

 

[Yad123]

I bought some .bid domains when they was for 0.66 at namecheap they were bad also high renewal prices

 

[Bob Hawkes]

I have so many it is hard to choose! Probably one of my 3 word in .science extension like:
ICanDo.science
I still kind of like them, but should have been focussed on who would buy/use them, or not! Thanks for great thread, @mrflapjack !

The first one ,which led to the 2nd and so on,with thousands of hours of wasted time,my portfolio is good now and I sell a lot of names on afternic,but I wish I stopped buying at number 10,keep it small, people.

top100.cheap

Although there are many list of top 100 cheap colleges, restaurants, hotels, places to go, hobbies etc. I could see it working, maybe as a development site where you run many sites in parallel through subdomains. If that is your worst ever, congrats! Although the .cheap extension always feels, sort of, err cheap to me , so in that sense I agree!

 

[mrflapjack]

I have seen worse extensions
ex: .mobi , .xyz , .top

i agree with .mobi but xyz have a lot of sales and it's not bad for me

 

[J Sokol]

horrid people . com
This was maybe my third domain -- and obviously pre-NP.

 

[Arfy]

imgur.io for 5 year registration (I didn't know what I was doing at the time and was a complete noob ) I still have it though

 

[noonoo1]

Pussies.mobi !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Fancy.domains]

Handsome.today is still my worst one. I bought it in 2014 on my first day dealing with new gTLDs.

 

[ThatNameGuy]

Dam @Bulloney

He got me thinking of crap names from his thread! So I have posted my worst 2 below

What was I thinking....

inpe . biz

edgybit . com

Thanks...what were you thinking. Really? What I've learned is that in any given year at least 98% of all domains registered are crappy. Geesh...what's everybody thinking?

 

[BasedBeyond]

My another double hyphenate domain... I found that most common L-L-L words are taken

Show attachment 100369​

I registered

N-V-M.com (nevermind)

W-Y-D.com (what you doing)


Just for fun lmao. Good job on yours though

Great thread. I made one myself months ago titled "Your Worst Domain?" but my "Your Best Domain?" overshadowed the former. I would say 9/1/1/a/i/d/s/./c/o/m is my worst.
