Thoughts please? I paid quite a bit for this in 1999 in the hope of maybe selling it to an ISP, but haven't tried to market it yet...

Thanks!

I don't know if today is a good day or a bad day to bring this up.
I reg'd www.sqlworm.com this morning and I think this will be a hot topic for a while. Maybe you could set up a quick site with info on backbone connections and things people could do to speed things up such as set up their SQL servers correctly.

Seems a waste to leave the name unresolved.

depends on what you want it for..may very well be worth 4K if you have a use directly in mind..domain appraisals are a bit a science with a whole of Art involved.. interpretations vary..

I'd definantly put it to work...

put it on ebay with a resever of like 10 k just to see wht kind of bits you get also put it on sedo and see if you get any there is not find a isp company to buy it or start your own i think the email addy @faster.net is catchy and nice sounding

Meganne ("Modemgal" on the former Afternic) probably DID express some interest in this excellent .NET domain! I would like to express some now, as well. Please send me a PM with your bottom-line "Asking price" ... for immediate review. Thanks.
Good Luck.
PS. Meganne is no longer associated with CoolHost.com!

Yes! I remember 'modemgal' bidding on it. I think it went up to $900 if I remember but that sum was of no interest to me. This forum is really interesting! I am using the domain for free email accounts at the moment at my site www.universalpostoffice.com but I'm sure it's worth big bucks to a broadband outfit, or maybe a cell network doing 3G... I'll probably hang on to it for another couple of years unless I get a decent offer.

Thanks!

What happened? She got fired?

 

[Dale Hubbard]

Anyone know of an affiliate/reseller ISP program that I might use for this? I know there are a ton out there, but a GOOD one? Anyone interested in partnering/developing it with me?

Not "fired" exactly ... let's just say that for all the good things she did, she also did some not so good things. As time went along, the proportion of good things she did do did not keep pace with the increasing amount of not so good things. So, here we are.
Sorry. Need to be somewhat "politically correct" here, even on a public forum. Thanks.
Good Luck.

Take care.

[Dale Hubbard]

Moderator, $200? Have you anything similar for sale at your valuation levels? Thanks mindful for giving a reasoned valuation. I appreciate that.

-bump-

Looking to get some interest at the right level and perhaps stick it up for sale.

 

[CoolHost.com]

Put it in the "Live auction" this Sunday!
I really like this domain.
