I typed-in parking.com and I freaked out. I thought something had happened. It's a site on parking lots!
Duh...
 
And even worse, it doesn't resolve without the "www".

Always surprising so many do not resolve without the www.

Up until recently even USPTO.GOV needed WWW for it to resolve. I think it was fixed sometime within past year but was like that for ages.

Sometimes you can buy a traffic name at a non-traffic price where the owner did not realize it was a traffic name. Been there and done that :)
 
I love the ones that resolve one way with www an another without! I forgot a strange one I came accross the other day.

A few years ago there was a name I purchased based on seller stats saying 150/uniques/day but when I put it online working BOTH ways it got a very nice 350/uniques/day which was a huge bonus vs the low price I paid.

You would be surprised how often there is a disparity (mostly with non-parked domains).
