Title: Some ppl obviously have lot of money to waste
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on January 04, 2006, 07:36:00 am
I found this on Calchaven forums here

http://calchaven.org/index.php?showtopic=608

some ppl obviously have lot of money to waste. I am wondering how much money that domain name costed :P<img src="http://www.omnimaga.org/Themes/omnimaga4/images/smileyreplacer.gif?.12.234/1691/17/emo/blah.gif" border="0" style="vertical-align:middle" alt="blah.gif">

EDIT because Omnimaga wont allow words longer than 70 chars it messes up the link when posting it here so instead go to the link above and click the long domain name from here  :dang:<img src="http://www.omnimaga.org/Themes/omnimaga4/images/smileyreplacer.gif?.12.234/1691/17/emo/banghead.gif" border="0" style="vertical-align:middle" alt="banghead.gif">

IMO that is stupid :Dbiggrin.gif, I would rather have the shortest domain name in the world! But I am stuck with http://www.kalan.us

Haha, it's pretty 'creative', although repeating "longest" twice kind of killed its appeal for me.

The fact that a domain name costs money is proof of the crapiness of capitalism.  They should be an intelectualy property just like a copy right, not a lease on web directing...and they should be made available on a first come basis.

 Well that would be cool and all, but then greedy people would collect all of them :Pblah.gif (runs program to collect all the domain names!), but really I would love it to be first come first serve.

If you stuck a country code after it, you would beat it :)smile.gif.

Don't country codes take the place of the .com???

Post by: DJ Omnimaga on January 05, 2006, 01:58:00 pm
I think so, in case of tr1p1ea it would be .au , in case of spellshaper it would be .de and in case of me it would be either .qc.ca or .ca

if I was to get a domain I would get .org, because the last subdomains I used ended in .org, that way it wouldnt confuse people too much

Wow that domain name is still up after all that time! O.O

Btw in case you can't access invisionfree, here's the URL:

http://iamtheproudownerofthelongestlongestlongestdomainnameinthisworld.com/

I wonder if today there can be longer domain names, though.

that's some large necro-post O.o
about 6.5 years O.o

Well, and who the heck would spend money on such a domain?
Someone has too much money, defenetly, lol

Note, however, that today, you can get .com domains for $2 from time to time. :P

But how expensive were domains back then?

Actually you can be way longer (.info or even .travel or .museum if you can and use of subdomains, I think the domain as a whole must not exceed 256 chars).

Post by: DJ Omnimaga on July 31, 2012, 07:57:45 pm
Ah I see. I guess back then there were more limitations or something. Also Sorunome back then, a .com domain name costed between $9.99 and $29.99 per year, depending of where you got it.

That or the guy was only aware of the basic limitations. .info is pretty recent though, compared to .com who is as old as the Internet.

And I got a .com domain for $0.98 a year the first year once :P Then it would be the regular $10, .org domains are slightly cheaper (in the order of something like 40ยข). .info and .us are cheaper as well I think.

1and1 used to sell .com domain names for $7.99 yearly, but then they rose their prices to close to $10 or something. But in many occasions there or at other places I saw much cheaper offers. Certain domain names are far more expensive, though, such as .ga and .tv.

And .xxx :P

But yeah, the ICANN keeps rising their prices lately.

I think all the non-profit Internet commissions are short on money today. Even the W3C is seriously planning sponsored tags (http://thinkvitamin.com/code/html-xhtml/whats-new-in-html6/) in the HTML6 draft that would allow companies to basically buy adspace in the structure of HTML.
