It’s official: HugeDomains has killed the domain KillPutin.com.
In November, we pointed out that despite an expiration date of June 8, 2025, KillPutin.com was in redemption, all while HugeDomains removed it from its inventory of domains for sale:
KillPutin.com – Historic WHOIS record via DomainTools
Apparently, KillPutin.com was intentionally deleted by HugeDomains, as it was registered at NameBright, the sister company of HugeDomains.
The domain was available to acquire via the huge domain inventory at HugeDomains in March, right as Russia had began its criminal invasion of Ukraine on the orders of Vladimir Putin. HugeDomains has several more “Putin” domains for sale.
Could it be that someone filed a complaint or did HugeDomains receive threats?
Needless to say, KillPutin.com was picked up and its Gname that scored the domain that matches the keywords “kill Putin.” The domain is now listed for sale at Dan.com, with an asking price of $5,500 dollars.
Who the heck is Gname, you might ask.
According to DomainIncite, it’s an up-and-coming registrar based in Singapore; they recently added 100 new ICANN-accredited “shell” registrars to capture domain drops. As it was HugeDomains that dropped the domain, they did not engage DropCatch, the drop-catching outfit giant and a sister company; Gname caught it easily.
It remains to be seen if KillPutin.com will survive this new registration cycle, expiring on December 2, 2023.
