I am trying to start an online community on literally a shoe-string budget. The names I was searching I was sure were too unique to have been registered, but I was wrong. Overall I have exhausted a list of about 12 names. And what makes it worse is that only 2 of the 12 are actually developed, the rest are parked, and that is the real crime here.
I've heard domain names are the new real estate, and having a real estate license, I have to agree. But there are some significant differences in that there are government bodies and regulations set up to encourage development so that land is put to the best and most efficient use. I don't see anything similar when it comes to domain names.
Call me crazy, but I don't think having the internet crammed with premium, parked domains that exist solely to sell advertising is the most effective use of the internet.
