How much would a domain like "F.com" sell for?

**Chef86** · 05-10-2007, 05:33 PM

Most likely millions, and millions of dollars.

Nothing, icann will prolly never release it to the public...

There was only a few released back when domains first started and they ended up deciding to keep them for somereason..

I know paypal owns x.com, but that is all I know of..

**stickyfingerz** · 05-10-2007, 05:49 PM

aa.com American Airlines owns I know.

Your right, I forgot about that one, I am sure there are a couple others...

**woj** · 05-10-2007, 06:10 PM

They are both (x and z.com) kinda getting wasted, they should sell them to someone who would put something cool on them...

**CIVMatt** · 05-10-2007, 06:48 PM

**sternyduke** · 05-10-2007, 07:00 PM

I guess they where all open at one time, but after a couple got grabbed up they decided to take them off the market..

**KrisKross** · 05-10-2007, 07:17 PM

"Such domains are rare, as on December 1, 1993, IANA explicitly reserved all single letter and single digit second-level domain names in the TLDs .com, .net, and .org. This was done in case the registries for these domains became overloaded. Recently, ICANN has considered auctioning off their domains.

However, the few such domains that were already assigned were not recalled; They were grandfathered in and therefore were not affected by the restrictions that have existed since."

Paypal has X.com, Nissan has Z.com and Qwest has Q.com.

dammn ballers

**PMdave** · 05-10-2007, 08:13 PM

I believe they can't be transferred. Owners can renew them but once they expoere they are gone forever.

**GAMEFINEST** · 05-10-2007, 08:25 PM

i want x.com

funny scenario: Accountant/tech explaining to the executive board why he let z.com expire....

**DaddyHalbucks** · 05-10-2007, 08:35 PM

Alot. Millions.

there is not much value in something you can't sell... Marketing z.com as "the" place to be for nissan related infowould be more expensive than marketing nissan.com. The accountant is actually doing a great job saving the firm 9 bucks/year.

**Boobs** · 05-10-2007, 08:41 PM

money that i wont ever see

**WiredGuy** · 05-10-2007, 08:43 PM

I think its just these 3:
q.com (Qwest)
x.com (Paypal)
z.com (Nissan)

no need to shoot for the stars when one can use the Pending Delete Domain Watcher at http://IPalert.com and grab dictionary domains, dmoz-listed domains, 2-character/3-character domains, and also watch pending delete domains by keyword.

hit some singles and doubles to start the cycle

nothing saying you couldn't lease out use of the domain.

**SomeCreep** · 05-10-2007, 09:16 PM

Would sell for 7 figures, maybe 8.

**TTiger** · 05-10-2007, 09:22 PM

x.com is redrecting to paypal

**MetaMan** · 05-10-2007, 09:27 PM

X.com was not always paypal.

it is amazing how people cuss out the domain game, the internet is only growing not slowing down, domains are even better then top real estate for that reason.

**Fap** · 05-10-2007, 10:30 PM

I always thought L.com's didnt exist.. just LL.com's

**kenny** · 05-10-2007, 10:41 PM

i.net (no site is up but it's registered)

x.org

y.com (yahoo has trademarked this but it's still in reserve)

x.com

z.com

q.com

**TommyM** · 05-10-2007, 11:16 PM

Damn I would love me one of those :D

**Bama** · 05-11-2007, 12:35 AM

When I first got into the game I tried to register -.com
Wouldn't let me

**dbavaria** · 05-11-2007, 01:08 AM

How did they even get names like that...on the first day of domain names can you just waltz in and ask for F.com?

**visotech** · 05-11-2007, 01:08 AM

Do one letter domain names even exist!?

You do know the Nissan Z is a massive part of their marketing right? The Z series is basically the only Nissan I wouldn't have minded seeing in my garage. For a rice rocket the 350Z GT actually looked pretty slick ;)

**BucksMania** · 05-11-2007, 02:20 AM

yeah probably millions

**AsianDivaGirlsWebDude** · 05-11-2007, 02:22 AM

Rule of Thumb:

The number of zeros go up as the number of letters go down...

ADG

**soulbleed** · 05-11-2007, 03:51 AM

would sell for infinity + 1

**Violetta** · 05-11-2007, 04:26 AM

A one letter domain would be nice to have!

How much would a domain like "F.com" sell for?
