I’d never heard of a Premium Domain Name.

It says “Premium domain names are more valuable than typical domain names because they are based on common words or phrases.” Big deal!

So I went to see who actually owns this domain and there’s a DC company that’s called “RareNames” that apparently purchases these domain names to try to make a buck by reselling them. It was registered back in 2004, expires next year, and I doubt they’ll ever get rid of it. This is a pretty sad attempt at someone making a buck.

If I were to stoop to their level, maybe I’ll go buy the domain “www.YouAreASuckerIfYouBuyThisDomainName.com”.

UPDATE: I went with MoneyBaron.org, end of discussion. (Happy, but still irritated…)
