Fox Foo and domain name selling
I've transferred virtually all of my dollars into my Name Silo account, and I'm saving those for renewals, transfers, and extra special registrations. This means that I won't be posting any "premium" names that I've hand registered for a while. Bitcoin is continuing to rise, and thisis a bit of a nuisance as I wantedto sell name to build my Bitcoin balance. I think it will continue to rise, and so I'm going to focus on selling for a while.
I had an enquiry via my whois privacy protection, and it is a name that I bought in an expiry auction a couple of months ago. It's got some age, and some inbound links, but I've never hosted the name, so I have no idea of the traffic. I've now hosted it with a holding page, and I'll add it to the NS market place with a BIN price - we'll see how that goes, it's not a bad name for a blog.
I noticed that one of my names from 2004 has never been used. The name is Late Hotel Deals.com , and I intended to use this to promote travel services. HotelDeals.com sold for $172,000 a few years ago, and some of the auto-valuation bots value it at over $10,000, so it seems an ideal name for my Fox Foo project. I've signed up with atravel sponsor, so I'll add some ref links to the site I create. I suspect it will take some time to sell, so I might as well pick upa bit of income while I'm waiting. I've got one minor problem. The name is with my old registrar, and I don't want to wait the 5 days for the transfer to complete. Until it is transferred, I can't add it to the Name Silo market place. Fortunately the DNS points to one of my hosting plans, so I thought I would add the name to the hosting as a temporary measure, and redirect the traffic through an index page. I know there are other ways to do this, but I thought this would give me a chance to look at the traffic over the next few days. The page I set up is -
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Late hotel deals</title>
<!-- HTML meta refresh URL redirection -->
<meta http-equiv="refresh"
content="0; url=https://foxfoo.com/late-hotel-deals/">
</head>
<body>
<p>Please wait while we transfer you to out new server at -
<a href="https://foxfoo.com/late-hotel-deals/">Fox Foo</a></p>
</body>
</html>
I may have to add an htaccess file to harvest the 404 traffic as well.
