Hell.com Domain Name Up For Sale
Carl Bialik from WSJ writes "Internet domain name Hell.com is going up for sale, with bids of over $1 million expected, the Wall Street Journal reports. From the article: 'Sex.com sold for about $12 million earlier this year and Diamond.com changed hands for $7.5 million. The big-money domain-name sales echo an earlier boom, when Business.com fetched $7.5 million in 1999. Today's live auction of 300 names, by Seevast Corp.'s Moniker unit, includes more than a handful it predicts will generate bids of more than $1 million, including Iran.com, Auction.com and Elections.com. Now someone who buys Hell.com "has the opportunity to redefine what hell means, at least on the Internet," says Monte Cahn, Moniker chief executive.'"
Purchasing a lifetime @hell.com address seems like a poor life choice to me..

(and yes I know it's not possible under base 16. but we are talking about the supernatural aren't we?)

A lifetime at hell? Psh, I could score that for free.
Hell as defined on the Internet:
An all-Flash site.
You can't talk about Wikipedia's flaws on Wikipedia
They should have put up a page about the horrors of diamonds and how they are obtained
That store in the mall isn't so bad. Why so angry?
So...the people that buy hell.com should buy diamond.com and point it to themselves.
Then DeBeers would have hell to pay!
*drum fill*
Thanks, I'm here all week!

Will we be able to buy a ferrari cake on this site?
Ten bucks says it's Golden Palace. They'll do anything for publicity.
Good luck with the domain squatting suit against Lucifer himself.
I mean, who do you think has all the lawyers?

Considering that where all the slutty women go - might not be THAT bad of a life choice

Yeah, just get married ;).
At least they only bought the lifetime version. The eternity subscription is a bitch.
This issue is a bit more complicated than you think.
As for Hell.com, there's at least one little town that could make use of the domain.

I would put up a website mocking AOL.
Hell - where the pints all have holes in the bottom, and the women don't!

Hell is other domains.
I may have to settle for heck.com.
One ring to bind them - should probably have more fiber and less rings in their diet.
I innocently went to the sex.com web site mentioned in the article and I was SHOCKED at what I found. I am almost embarrassed to tell you this, but I will because I know that you too will share my outrage: There were...scantily clad women prominently featured EVERYWHERE on the web site! Every time I clicked a link, more images of barely clothed females, cavorting around could be seen on my computer screen!
You read correctly. Apparently, the Inter Net is being appropriated by these rascals and is being used to transmit filthy images of unclothed women!
After making this alarming discovery, I spent the next 4 1/2 hours double-checking my findings by clicking the "Black", "Fetish", "Anal", and "Black Anal Fetish" links on the left portion of the computer screen. I found it necessary to do this repeatedly and vigorously until I finally grew tired, and I anticipate needing to continue on with the double-checking tomorrow.
I estimate that this double-checking process could take upwards of the next 7 months, after which I intend to write an angry letter to the Web Masters of Slash.dot.com and the Wall Street Journal. However, most of my angry missives will be directed to the people behind this horrible, deviant web site, and I will demand that they direct me to other, similar web sites so that I may carry on my investigation.
Yours in Christ,
Beebeard
