Hundreds of Whitney Houston domains registered after death
Sunday, February 12th, 2012
Singer’s death prompts speculators to register Whitney Houston related domain names.
Speculators have registered a flurry of domain names related to Whitney Houston since the singer’s death yesterday.
According to domain registrar GoDaddy, 325 Whitney Houston related domain names were registered in fewer than 24 hours after her death.
You’ll find a lot of Houston domain names on eBay. And most of them are worthless.
You can pick up WhitneyHoustonDiedAt48.COM for $500.
Looking for something even more speculative than a domain to take advantage of her death? Try WhitneyHoustonHeartAttack.com for $21 million. My guess on this one is the seller just wants attention to the site they link to in their eBay listing.
For a starting bid of 99 cents you can have a shot at what the seller describes as an “Authentic Whitney Houston Domain”. What’s an authentic domain? I don’t know, but the seller is trying to offload Whitney-Houston-Legacy.com.
A search for “Whitney Houston Domain” returns 41 hits on eBay right now.
