The insatiable hunger of the Chinese for numeric domains
A few months ago I mentioned how a domain of mine got hit with 4,000 WHOIS queries while it neared its expiration date.
After reading Shane’s post about the sale of 55.com to a Chinese company, I noticed that one of my numeric domains accumulated almost 1,000 WHOIS queries – again at expiration.
I decided to once again leave this domain 1-2 weeks past expiration, to tease the crowds of Chinese domainers that are drooling over it.
Incidentally, the meaning behind numbers in the Chinese culture was covered in another post earlier this year.
While on the subject of numeric domains, almost 3 years later, my sale of 360.org still remains as the highest recorded NNN .org domain sale of all time
