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.'"

Re:so what's thier ip address?

[Ford Prefect]

216.216.216.216 would be a more sensible hellish IP address - 6*6*6 and all that.

More appropriately, it actually appears to exist - it's owned by a 'New Edge Networks' based in Vancouver, WA, USA. The machine of the beast has an ISP!
