10 Recent Domain Name Purchases & Acquisitions

It’s been a while since I’ve shared some of my recent domain name purchases, so I thought I would share a handful of them today. You are welcome to share some of your domain name acquisitions in the comment section if you’d like. This isn’t the appropriate place to list names for sale though 🙂

The 5 domain names below were either purchased in private or purchased at auction. Generally, I’ve been buying directly from domain owners or via NameJet. That hasn’t changed all that much.

5 recent domain acquisitions:

  • Compost.com
  • VisitZimbabwe.com
  • WineBarrels.com
  • WineFurniture.com
  • WebmasterGuide.com

I have been hand registering domain names a bit more lately. All of my hand registrations have been .com domain names, and I think most are under privacy (free at Uniregistry). I still look at hand registrations as sort of like lottery tickets.

5 recent hand registrations are:

  • FantasyFootballArbitrator.com
  • HazMatMitigation.com
  • EarlobeReconstruction.com
  • DormRoomStorage.com
  • OregonPsychologist.com

  1. compost.com is killer – congrats.

    Here are 5 recent acquisitions in no particular order (haven’t hand reg’d much lately).

    ironleaf.com
    summercreek.com
    gabby.org
    crystalvillage.com
    parlance.net

  2. zimbabwe.travel is available for registration and even it is not .com name, still seems be good enough choice, and much cheaper than to buy visitzimbabwe.com for $8k

    • There are lots of random extensions available for reg fee.

      I’ve had 3 inquiries in the last month from the name through the DNS lander. One is a safari company and I am not sure about the other two.

  3. Some of our recent purchases/hand regs (all are .com):
    – TropicalSpring.com
    – LoanAcquisition.com
    – PersonalDonation.com
    – WearableHealthcare.com
    – ParqueDeJuegos.com (“parque de juegos” in Spanish means “playground”)
    – VideoSocialNetwork.com
    – CartoonClothes.com
    – AutomatisationIndustrielle.com (“automatisation industrielle” in French means “Industrial Automation”.

  4. Compost.com blows everything else out of the water. I would estimate you paid $20-30K for it. I would also estimate it makes between $.50-1.00/day from parking. Congrats.

  5. Very nice move for Compost.com and WebmasterGuide.com

    Some of my latest hand regs:

    • BerlinCredit.com
    • BugsRestaurant.com

  7. Compost.com – great name. Control the industry! I am wondering if a news aggregation site like Domaining.com or Bitkoin would be a good fit?

    The sites seem to make $$ from the ads and sponsored headlines.

    I recently grabbed
    Packaging.ca
    Kuln.com

  8. Compost.com is a great name!

    Two recent buys that I can remember are:
    TheGamingShop.com
    TheGamingShow.com
    I paid a few hundred for TheGamingShop.com and I got lucky with a GoDaddy backorder for TheGamingShow.com.

  9. Zimbabwe is mostly savannah, with some mountainous forrests and Victoria Falls, one of the biggest waterfalls in the world. There are ruins. It has safari tours. I like VisitZimbabwe.com!

    Three weeks ago, I hand registered brandable,

    ippove.com

    which was my first accepted BrandBucket submission – yay! After over a year, and some dozen submissions, Brandbucket accepted it.

    ipprove.com is rad for the iot industry.

  10. My new collections:

    eEbola.com
    EbolaProtectiveGears.com
    EbolaSafetyGears.com
    Ebola.London
    Ebola.Vegas

    3dPrintedSurfboard.com
    3dPrintingSelfie.com
    3dPrintingSelfies.com

    • Which is better, Raider, my candor, or your incredulous support and endorsement for all of them? 😀 Probably only with time consuming effort for ones that don’t get inquiries, some of them might fetch a modest gain, but hardly worth it if you ask me. And apparently Elliot thinks he can hold out for more on the one he said got some bites, unless there were no offers with those bites.

      Okay, don’t take this personally, I still like you and am only giving you a hard time here. Plus you have been rather cool to me anyway. Take care… 😀

    • My endorsement for all of them? LMAO! your pulling my leg right?. Honestly I like two of Elliot’s names and the rest not at all.. I’ve been too critical of what people register and I’m trying to change my ways, but now that you pulled me back in, let me say that most of the domain names others took the liberty to post here are IMO “Newbie CRAP”, the yellow kind that wont be used in compost.

      Funny thing is, they must think their good otherwise they wouldn’t embarrass themselves by posting them here.

    • LOL.

      Well Raidy Raidy, it doth appear there be a wee bit o’ “cognitive dissonance” between

      “Nice pickups Elliot.. Wish you all the best with them.”

      and

      “Honestly I like two of Elliot’s names and the rest not at all”;

      But since I have now successfully managed to call you back to greater candor and your often potent delivery where you often shine so well, I’m confident even Elliot would be happier that way.

      Yes indeed, so much junk here, domainers gone wild…

  13. You guys seem to like registering unregistered domains so here are some domains that are unregd if you see one you like feel free to reg it (atleast at the time of writing this they were not registered):

    ChatDesigner.com

    ChatBuilders.com

    RedSoftwares.com (Red Can Be Net Or Network in spanish circles)

    DownloadSociety.com

    FaQsNetwork.com

    WebAssociating.com

    optimizationnet.COM

    also feel free to add me to your skype f_rags_ i dont mind getting to know more people /talking about domains

  14. Compost.com is a great name, but I also like OregonPsychologist.com since it is a 2 words .com and very meaningful. I have tried to find free .com but only got some meaningful .org domains for free registration :
    Taquitos.org (mexican food)
    OnlineGroceries.org
    Aerosoles.org (spanish word for aerosols)

  15. Compost and Earlobe Reconstruction! Can’t believe Earlobe Reconstruction was available.

    Someone recently dropped CookieAd dot com and so I registered it to accompany CookieAds dot com (browser cookies + targeted display advertising).

  16. Hi Elliot,
    Some of my very recent hand-regs;

    ControlByPhone.com
    IslamistState.com
    DisabledWeddings.com
    DronieGames.com
    Dronieapps.com
    eDronies.com
    Hash-Logo.com
    InternetDefencePrize.com

    NorthAmerica.club
    SouthAmerica.club
    ApplianceForLife.club
    WorryFree.club
    MonteCarlo.xyz
    Arabia.xyz
    MortgageBrokers.xyz

    • I could help you out big time also i think, if you like registering .club or any other of the new tlds…
      ANYONE who registerd or still does register new tlds get to me on skype:
      f_rags_
      What i do may be of strong interest for you.

  17. Some of my recent acquisitions:

    PaleoCooking.com
    SaltedCaramels.com
    EliteBlackjack.com
    eSmokeStop.com
    IdeaCrafters.com
    ModernCandles.com
    Colorado-Cannabis.com
    ChicagoGynecology.com
    DairyFreeCookies.com
    3DPrintingEntrepreneur.com

  18. Euh! What are “hand registered”?

    Do you mean domains created from scratch by you and then you register them?

    If so, why would you want to register a “new” domain as opposed to aged domains with authority already?

    Anyway, compost.com is a big winner IMOO.

    I just grabbed:

    NiMHbattery.com
    potentiated.com
    cameradreams.com
    monotypic.com
    LeFrancophile.com

    I’m new to domaining and I love it so far even though I haven’t made significant amount of money with it so far.

    Nice to ear from other domainers.

    regards

  19. Totally agree Compost.com is a gem.

    Here are some of my recent acquisitions.

    LocalhostServer.com
    MedicareSurtax.com
    Bullings.com
    ProgressiveCreditUnion.com
    Viipi.com

    OnlineVideoConverter.co.uk
    TraduttoreItalianoInglese.com (Italian-English in Italian)
    AndroidPhoneTrack.com
    BuyDomain.co.in
    CloudShare.co.uk

  20. Hi Elliot1 Good to see you posting again!
    Out of your names, ere is what I think…

    Compost.com -Think it’s a winner, and a great domain!

    VisitZimbabwe.com- Not so sure with the whole ebola thing..Wondering who wants to go to Africa unless they have a death wish…Maybe there’s something I’m not seeing here…

    WineBarrels.com- Absolutely Love it! Another great domain, and lots of wineries around!

    WineFurniture.com-I like this one too! You must’ve had wine on the mind…lol

    WebmasterGuide.com- I really like this one..There is a whole slew of potential end users with this one!

    FantasyFootballArbitrator.com- Don’t really care for..Too long, but better than some I’ve seen.

    HazMatMitigation.com- I have no idea what this even means, so gonna skip it for those who do.

    EarlobeReconstruction.com- I think this is a good one, but how many earlobe reconstruction doctors are actually our there? I do think it’s a keeper though..Just might take some time to find the right end user.

    DormRoomStorage.com- This could be a good one..Never thought of this concept before, but I’m sure a lot of college kids have!

    OregonPsychologist.com- I love it! Great geo domain!

    Overall I think you did really good! I don’t think I’ve ever looked at a list and liked more than what I didn’t…lol..No offense to anyone…As I said I think compost is a winner, but I think you have more winners here than just that one. Have a great day!

    • Hey Nguedes,

      Dwou.com (Could be used for Deep/or/DarkWebOfUfology/orUnanswered)

      Zbaf.com
      Ycev.com
      Levj.com

      Get to me on skype if you want them :f_rags_

  22. great post and you got some deals

  24. Have recently hand regged over 50 IoT domains incl IoTCertified.com IoTfunding.com. Many others. We think IoTindustry and potential for application is bigger than 3d and prime for speculative trend domain investment.

    3dPrintingOptions.com
    4gLab.com

    Can’t stop – got loads more.

  26. I like webmaster guide.com and obviously compost.com just because it’s a single word .com

    I have recently purchased

    Lovebackgrounds.com
    Campness.com
    Imagealt.com
    icelandproperty.com
    selfhealed.com
    Harddrives.eu
    Downloadfreemusic.org

  27. Hello Elliot, I am quite fascinated by your choice to buy VisitZimbabwe.com. I wonder what plans you have for that name, mind sharing?

  28. All great names. Compost.com quickly jumps out to a domainer but for the end user who wants to build a business VisitZimbabwe and the others have there allure. As for the poster with the reference of Ebola and Africa: Ebola will not last forever.
