I see a few threads on recent good purchases, but after speaking to a friend lately who told me that he accidently purchased maritalarts.uk, thinking it spelled "martial arts", it got me wondering what everyone's worst domains they have ever purchased. Maybe ones they'd be embarrased to admit in public.

Personally, my worst has got to be 0dig.com. This goes back to my very first few days of domaining, when I had the mistaken belief that anything with three letters and a number just simply had to be of incredible value. Oops!

I even came so very very close to registering the expired domain 'HeathyDirect.com' just over a week ago until I noticed on the registration screen it was missing an 'L'.

What are some of your biggest mistakes that you dare to admit?

Unstoppable Domains — AI StorefrontUnstoppable Domains — AI Storefront
Even without the third f, it's a rather worthless 3 word name.
This is ideal name for a freelancer, designer or hosting company as it matches with keyword: affordable web design.

Do not invest in hyphenated dot net domains.

Drop list:
Car-sharing.net
Meta-verses.net
Black-diamond.net
Horse-racing.net
(horseracing.net sold for $60K)
Web-designs.net
Why?

I one hyphenated domain sold for $700. It includes keyword: domain name.

KinkyUnderwear. com
ShaveYourBalls. com
If these are your worst domains, I'm scared to ask for the best.
No, really, they're quite good, and especially the first one can fetch a nice price in the future.

My worst domains include misspelt geo names and short-lived trends, but I drop them quickly and then forget about them even quicker. :-P Current worst? Probably cov vax dot com, a leftover from the vaccine-race times, I even got some offers but turned them down. Still can't get myself to drop it, lol.

The extension makes the domain name so hilarious.

Like it's a tech start-up for prostitutes.

I mean, everyone can take up coding and change their career path. 🤷‍♀️

If you want to rid off from your worst name cov vax, you should accept every offer and sell out.

immo-bilien.com - real-estate in German, i thought Germans loves hyphenated domains but actually not.
Moral of this story - do not invest in non English names.

Uhh, you took a word and put a dash in the middle. It's more like real-ty, or actually, directly translated: immo-vables.
im-mobilien would at least make *some* sense, as im- is a word prefix here.

I asked ai he said immo is real, estate is bilien
😅 moral of this story DO NOT TRUST AI.

I checked the history: someone from Germany renewed it for 20 years before the drop. i thought it was a valuable name 🙂
Immo-bilien.de is taken
Me in 2023: i got a gem!
2024: drop list.

I found that hyphenated nets are worst for SERP. Google hate dotnet domains no idea why.

I used to pick up random 3-letter .coms as placeholders for projects and then throw them away once the project had a brand. There was no Drop Industrial Complex back then. Oh well. 🙄🤦‍♂️
