Why would a domain like Betttt.com be worth anything? It was sold in an expired GoDaddy auction for $1,525.
No backlinks, no history, no sense!
Crispy.ai has expired and it's being auctioned on Namecheap's marketplace.
Why is this domain going for 4 figures? It's brandable but it would sound odd for an AI product.
The expired domain "appg-leftbehindneighbourhoods.org.uk" was bought for £10,401 from a drop-catch auction a few days ago.
The only reason someone paid that much for it is that it has some high-profile backlinks.
There is barely anyone buying .cafe domains from the aftermarket but some short names can sell.
App.cafe just sold for $1,480 on GoDaddy/Afternic. That's their only reported .cafe domain sale.
In 2017, the domain name variance.io was bought for $104 from a drop-catch auction on Park.io.
It sold a couple of days ago for $50,000 on Atom (source)
A little hard to believe but it looks real.
Hey everyone, wanted to share my a frustrating experience with Hostinger over here because I think everybody should be aware of this before buying a domain through Hostinger.
I searched for a domain, it showed up as available, I paid for it (~$65 total for the domain + a basic email plan). After checkout, the registration got stuck in "Registering" status for hours. A few hours later, I have checked and notice that the domain registration was failed. After going back and forth (including getting an obviously AI-generated support reply that didn't actually answer anything), a human agent finally checked WHOIS manually and told me:
>The domain is already registered, has been since 2003, under a different registrant, with active nameservers. It was never actually available.
So basically: their availability checker was wrong, they took my money for a domain they could never deliver, and I only found out the truth after multiple support tickets.
Now here's the kicker — when I go to request a refund, the domain line item literally shows:
"Can't be refunded"
Even though this has nothing to do with me changing my mind — this is Hostinger's own system error. Their standard "domain purchases are non-refundable" policy apparently gets applied even when they never had the domain to sell in the first place.
I'm still going back and forth with them trying to get the money back. This is really a huge disappointment...
I hope nobody will have to suffer like me.
In 2013, someone bought Dentl.com for $50,000 from Afternic.
This domain has just sold again for $2,705 in an expired GoDaddy auction.
Many domainers lose a lot of money on domains but GoDaddy always wins!
GoDaddy has just got another big sale: $226,000 for Relationships.com. It's an expired domain so GoDaddy keeps 100% of the profit.
I wonder if the buyer was an investor or an end user.
The domain names Rooni.com and Veloria.com have just expired and they're up for auction on Namecheap.
Rooni was born in 2001 - she likes jewelry and clothing!
Veloria was reborn in 2008 - she likes playing video games!
The domain name io.uk has recently expired and it dropped a few days ago. It got instantly caught and it's currenting at auction.
I like this domain but not enough to pay mid 4 figures for it.
A week ago I posted about the expired domain Impact.net, which was at auction on Namecheap. I expected it'd sell for five figures, but some of you said it's not worth that much.
Well, the auction ended yesterday and it sold for $22,423.
.net sales are rare but this is a very strong .net domain.
I have websites in Godaddy shared hosting that are in PHP and mysql. Today the websites are frequently showing "508 resource limit is reached" error. The webpages open sometime but this error comes frequently with blank page.
I find the server statistics in cpanel as follows: CPU usage 100%, entry processes 100%, number of processes 100%, file usage 21%, physical memory use 7%. It means the CPU usage and number of processes are reaching the limit.
There has been no change in website recently nor any additional traffic today. Their support says it's a problem in your account as resource limit is reaching. I can't understand what is the problem and these are some queries that I have.
Whether resource limit reached error is due to problem in websites or hosting server?
What could be the possible cause and solution for this error?
"We have received notice that a critical privilege-escalation vulnerability has been identified in LiteSpeed Web Server Enterprise. On shared-hosting servers, a malicious low-privilege website user could potentially gain root-level access to the server.
This could allow an attacker to access or alter other hosted websites and the server itself.
This issue can bypass expected account isolation controls, including CageFS, allowing a malicious website user to potentially escape its restricted environment and gain root-level access to the server."
Fix: update to v6.3.7 or later.

I've been using Servarica's V3 KVM Slim Slice 4 VPS for about four months now, and unfortunately my experience with reliability has been pretty poor.
I initially moved some of my stuff to Servarica because I had started experiencing network outages a bit more frequently with RackNerd. I also wanted a datacenter closer to where the VPS would primarily be used, so Montreal seemed like a good fit.
Unfortunately, during those four months, I've had to open four separate support tickets for network/connectivity outages. In each case, the VPS was unreachable for at least 90 minutes. During these incidents, I couldn't reach the VPS normally, and even the noVNC console was inaccessible (API error in control panel).
The latest incident has been particularly bad. I opened a ticket on Thursday, September 10 in the morning, and the issue is still ongoing as I'm writing this. Since then, the VPS has seemingly spent more time down than up.
I completely understand that these are cheap VPS offerings. I'm not expecting enterprise-grade infrastructure or a 100% uptime SLA at this price point. You generally get what you pay for. That being said, I've used several budget VPS providers over the years, and this is the first one where I've experienced this level of unreliability.
What makes me wonder if I'm simply unlucky is that I seem to be the black sheep here. Most of the feedback I've found about Servarica on Reddit has been quite positive, which doesn't really match my experience so far.
Regarding support, they are generally fairly quick to provide an initial response, although those first responses tend to be quite generic. What has been more frustrating is how long it can take afterward to actually identify or resolve the underlying issue.
Another thing I find disappointing is the apparent lack of a public status page. Unless I've simply missed it, I haven't found anywhere customers can see ongoing incidents, network issues, maintenance, or outage history. When a VPS has been unreachable for an extended period of time, that lack of transparency makes the situation considerably more frustrating.
I'm curious about other Servarica customers, particularly anyone using their Montreal infrastructure:
Am I just extremely unlucky, or have others been experiencing recurring network outages/reliability issues as well?
For the sake of transparency, I felt it was important to share my experience here, especially since most of the feedback I've come across has been positive. This isn't meant as a rant or an attempt to bash Servarica, but simply to provide another data point for anyone considering their services and to see whether others have experienced similar issues.

The domain name Biomes.co was bought from an expired GoDaddy auction in 2024 for $25. It just sold at GoDaddy/Afternic for $2,495.
Not bad compared to Biomes.com, which sold for $9,888 at Sedo in 2020. For some weird reason, this domain just redirects to the matching .world domain!
IONOS is firing 450 full-time employees due to "the harmonization and consolidation of technical platforms and processes, as well as the consistent use of artificial intelligence in internal workflows" (source)
like an idiot I forgot to turn off auto renewal on a ms365 email package that was no longer being used. as soon as a I get the email of payment received, I try contacting support because I have 7 days to get the refund. I try to call, website chat, and whatsapp support chat. every time they ask a few questions, ask me to hold while the verify something, then the chat bot would spam a message about the session has expired and reconnect me with a new customer service rep. on the 8th day, the first person I chatted with immediately told me the 7 days had passed and they wouldn’t refund me.
Two .gg domains were recently sold via GoDaddy/Afternic:
Bite.gg was sold for $6,494, and tours.gg sold for $2,000.
The second domain (tours.gg) was bought by a local buyer from Guernsey (source)
That's unusual.. Although .gg is Guernsey's ccTLD, most .gg domains are bought and sold by international users.
Some people complained about Hetzner's latest price hikes, but historically, the current prices are still quite low.
Ten yours ago their prices were double what they are now, and it was considered one of the cheap providers at the time.
Here are Hetzner's plans and prices from back then:
| Plan | CPU | RAM | Storage | Price/month |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CX30 | 2 | 4 GB | 100 GB | €14.16 |
| CX40 | 2 | 8 GB | 200 GB | €23.68 |
| CX50 | 4 | 16 GB | 400 GB | €35.58 |
| CX60 | 8 | 32 GB | 600 GB | €59.38 |
Compare those to the current plans and prices:
| Plan | CPU | RAM | Storage | Price/month |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CX23 | 2 | 4 GB | 40 GB | €7.13 |
| CX33 | 4 | 8 GB | 80 GB | €10.70 |
| CX43 | 8 | 16 GB | 160 GB | €19.62 |
| CX53 | 16 | 32 GB | 320 GB | €35.69 |
Geek.me has just expired.. It's registered with Spaceship but Namecheap is running the auction on their marketplace.
