Thanks for the information. I recently bought a domain from the hugedomains and wrote up a blog post about my experience:

Hopefully their online software is better than the completely sad state of the online domain portfolio management software at Afternic.com / BuyDomains. I mean, their system is probably one of the worst examples of online software I have ever used.

Their customer service is no better. I had over 1000 domains with them and they couldnt do so much as reply to questions as to why adding or updating my domains didnt work. I would take weeks to get a reply.

Hopefully these guys are maybe former users of their online system, with some programming knowledge, and they are determined to do it properly. Good luck to them!

They are going to have to sell a lot of domains at their retail price level to cover the renewal fees
of 230,000 domains. Renewal costs will be in excess of 1.47 million. They were very active in the “tasting” game back in the day.

Interesting observation there, Jeff. In another year or two, they will probably double up the inventory… No shortage of domains to be had.

Most of the “Huge Domains” listed are brandable / sound good type because most generics have been long gone.

Nice to see a market for these…. And even nicer to see people buying them, paying $1000s

Last month, while I was cleaning up my Fab parking account – updating landers and removing domains from my account that I allowed to lapse – I discovered that HugeDomains picked up a substantial number of my drops . . . all now nicely priced at $1900 and up.

Now, admittedly there’s some suggestion of intelligence in their moves, as the names I allowed to drop – and they promptly registered – were once at least good enough to meet someone’s “reg worthy standard”, i.e., my retrospectively shoddy standard.

BUT REALLY, is ALSO bit of a clue in the fact that the domains are being DELIBERATELY DROPPED . . an implicit suggestion . . that someone who knows the business determined that registration justification analysis was indeed shoddy.

So, while you want to extol the intelligence of HD’s actions . . maybe implicitly soliciting a bit of work for your services . . I’d like to suggest that what I see is a re-run of the work of Dr. What’s-His-Name of 247-Domain fame.

Sad. I wish them the best of luck but I’m doing my best, by running away from the domains they are re-registering, to send a message “FAIL”.

Who knows? Maybe they’ll be luckier than . . the last fool who registered them. :-/
