Bob the plumber lost his seven year old domain to a cybersquatter – or an opportunist investor, if you prefer.
The truth is, that Bob failed to renew his dot .com domain and it ended up being auctioned on GoDaddy’s TDNAM. It was sold for $750 but to Bob it was priceless.
“I could not fathom the fact that some a**hole would go around and steal my domain just because I didn’t renew it,” says Bob.
“I mean, domains are there forever, right? And I thought I pay once, not every year. At least that’s what GoDaddies told me.”
Bob’s business thrived under the dot .com but since August that he lost the domain, his office phones rarely ring.
“My business got a big hit, so I asked my nephew Bobby Jr. about getting another one and he suggested getting a triple X domain.”
Bob’s registration of Bob.XXX could not have been more timely; the launch of the .XXX TLD yesterday created an immense number of registrations.
Bob’s plan is to showcase sexy women dressed in plumber’s pants, holding various tools.
He will promote his business around town with a triple X domain that’s easy to remember, even if that means being excommunicated from his local church.
I had registered Plumbers.xxx yesterday!
My intention is to develop a porn site for all sexy good looking porn star plumbers carrying all the tools…creating a fantasy stories …for adult entertainment…
Or it can turn around for real plumbing business (not porn) for plumbers, just like Bob did…
RAYY – Good thinking. Nothing wrong with a pipe-cleaning business.
