How Michael & David Castello Morphed from Struggling Musicians to Domain Millionaires - DNForum - Domain Sales, Domain Forum, Domain Appraisals, Domain Registrars

Michael and David Castello's company, Castello Cities Internet Network, Inc. is booming thanks to a stunning domain and website portfolio that includes such gems as PalmSprings.com, Acapulco.com and Nashville.com. Yet it seems like only yesterday that the Castello brothers were poor bandmates rehearsing in a New York City loft. They were one floor above another new band called Blondie that would go on to achieve stardom. So would the Castello brothers – but their fame was to come in a completely different industry!

Nice story. Thanks

Very interesting. Makes me jealous

If only I was born 5-10 years earlier!

I like that their approach is more for development of their domains and not simply parking. They make a nice comparison that parking a premium domain is like having prime real estate and building a car park on it - and just making money off the cars. They say developing (building a luxury hotel) can make more money and can increase the overall value too.

I agree completely!

Duke, one of the best stories I have ever read. Extremely well written and edited.

Thanks for offering it to everyone in DNJ, a great inspiration to achieve success.

Makes me think I should develop 2,300 sites instead of *only* 1,300.

Duke I have to agree with trader. That was a fantastic read.
The last paragraph hit home. My brother and I are the exact same way.

Thanks and great job as always.
