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.'"
They should have put up a page about the horrors of diamonds and how they are obtained.
DeBeers would have quickly wrote a MUCH larger check.
The phrase "more better" is acceptable English. suck it grammar Nazis
Purchasing a lifetime @hell.com address seems like a poor life choice to me..
--- What
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
Good luck with the domain squatting suit against Lucifer himself.
I mean, who do you think has all the lawyers?
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.
Owning the domain name that matches your search keyword ranks you higher in search engines. That is why domain names still matter

Silly.. hell is a class C with 255 layers:
6.6.6.0 is the gateway to hell.
meh
Hell - where the pints all have holes in the bottom, and the women don't!
...sometimes, in order to hurt someone very badly, you have to tell that person terrible lies. - PA
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!
Tedious Bloggy Stuff - hooray?
That's not free!
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,
