    I typo'd gfy.cm instead of gfy.com

    Those dudes in cameroon sure have a good thing going with the .cm suffix

    bet there is a ton of money to be made in those typos

              Pretty sweet fucking deal he made.

              A little vision, little luck and a hell of a lot of fucking money.

              Congrats to him.

                  There was an article on this in Business 2.0 a while back. Basically some guy made a deal with the gov't of Cameroon so that if the .cm domain doesn't exist it goes to a parked domain.

                  Try typing ANY domain name that ends with .cm. If it isn't taken, it's parked.

                          In August 2006, it was reported that the .cm registry had set up a wildcard DNS record, so that all unregistered domains in this top-level domain go to a parking page with paid search links. This was likely intended to take advantage of typographical errors by users attempting to reach .com web sites. This has been tracked down to Kevin Ham.

                          this is huge money.

                                      call me jealous, but I don't consider it a fair deal

                                      1 dude basically took control over all .cm domains, without buying a single of them
                                      I don't use ICQ anymore.

                                            Ham won't reveal specifics but says Agoga receives "in the ballpark" of 8 million unique visitors per month. Fellow domainers, naturally, are envious.

                                                        1 dude basically took control over all .cm domains, without buying a single of them
                                                        Kind of like how the bank owns your land and car but didn't have to do any shopping.

                                                          Yes you can. He doesn´t own them, what happens is that if the domain doesn´t exist it gets forwarded to Agoga.
                                                          They are fucking expensive though. Like $500 last time I checked.

                                                          Colombia should make their .co ccTLD. I would like to register youtube.co or something hehe

                                                              You can't buy .cm domains, he owns every single one = just add domain in ur short list and soon or after it will expire. Then just pick up it
