closed $1.00Slots.com What do you think of this Vomain?

[caesarsdom]

What do you think of this Vomain (Virtual Domain)? I for one love these domains and have registered quite a few. We have had some very respectable offers for some of them but have not sold any yet because we want to see where the market will go with them first.
The above Vomain is one of the shorter ones and is in the right industry for earnings. The Vomains are getting more popular and I think they will Really take off here very shortly.
This one is neat because you can sell, lease or operate several different versions:
$1.00Slots.com
$5.00Slots.com
$10.00Slots.com
etc etc

Our most popular Vomains are our fm group (97.1fm.com etc). They get about 7k-12k uniques per day and are growing rapidly. Our $2.00Whore.com site makes about $200.00 a month currently and should increase when we SEO it properly.

What say you? Do you like these? Think there is any future in them?
Do you own any yourself? Are any making money for you yet?

I don't understand them.

 

[namewaiter]

huh???

 

[rawkinrich]

huh???

Is he talking about sub-domains?

 

[caesarsdom]

Yes, essentially they are Sub-Domains with the difference being that they incorporate the sub to make the whole word or phrase. Kind of the reverse of a Hack Domain. Vomains have been around longer than Hacks and people seem to like them a lot better.
Some Web Servers have to be tweeked slightly to accommidate all the uses for Vomains but most don't. Vomains are great fun and most everyone loves them when they finnally see and try them. They are all getting regged up pretty fast. Not many of the good ones left.
Try the domain out. They look neat as hell and work just fine. Our $2.00Whore.com Vomain gets a lot of laughs and many emails saying how cool it is.
We will soon be launching our Million Dollar Lottery site as well:
$1,000,000.00Lottery.com

They have the '$' and ',' characters in the domain? How do's that work?

 

[caesarsdom]

Because the odd charactors are all BEFORE the domain name (Notice the "." in front of the two zeros) they "Bypass" all the "Legalities" of proper domain names. The odd charactors are in the "Sub-Domain" territory and so are only limited by the browser and/or Web Server being used. For example this will even work in most browsers:
$*(^-)~_+k.gnarliest.com
Play with them. Our server will let you put all kinds of things in the domain name. Some browsers will not allow some of the other charactors and some no no charactors are =, @, #, %, and ?. But there are even ways to get them in as well.
I have a friend that has someone offering xx,xxx for one of his Vomains and I think he is going to sell it. When dnjournel.com publishes the sale the market for them should really pick up. The company buying it is a major and they will have it on TV and mags and papers and such so Vomains will become much more popular after that.
Have fun.

Ah, I see. Can be some possibilites I suppose, good luck.

It is very easy to do wildcard subdomains, just do setup DNS:
* IN CNAME domain.com.
You can do in WHM default template, so every cpanel acccount will have wildcards:
* IN CNAME %domain%.
Those wildcards will be mapped to default apache directory (on Linux is /usr/local/apache/htdocs/), where should be index with i.e. frames main frame src="/" (or any other handling script), same setup for the 404 error file.

hi, i've thought of this too. I have a 2 letter .com.au domain and use it in a similar fashion.

How the search engines treat these domains is a bit grey.
