Domain investor Andy Booth tweeted about his recent acquisition of XPay.com, a domain name he called his “favorite pick-up in the last decade.” Knowing some of the domain names he has bought and sold over the past ten years, that is a pretty strong statement:

I would go as far as to say that I think https://t.co/LjE8E8pbzV may be my favorite pick-up in the last decade. I am always looking for names of quality with obvious commercial application – that’s what something like XPay has over a random word or letter combination.

Domain investor and broker Andrew Rosener replied to Andy’s tweet, mentioning that the X at the beginning of XPay.com could limit the domain name to an adult related business:

I know there are a bunch of domain investors who have domain investing vanity license plates. In Massachusetts, our vanity plates can only have a maximum of 6 letters, and DotCom and Com are both taken already. There aren’t really any other domain industry license plate that would make sense for me.

Adam Strong shared a photo he took at Lowe’s last night of two Illinois vanity license plates that seem to have picked the perfect parking spots. A car with the “Flip” license plate was parked next to Adam’s truck with the “Domains” license plate.

Pretty serendipitous.

Loser.com is a neat domain name, and it has an interesting history. Loser.com has been used as a forwarder many times, including to web pages about Kanye West and Donald Trump. It is such a well-known domain name that it has its own Wikipedia page., and it has been featured in the news many times over the years.

Yesterday morning, I was alerted on Twitter that the valuable and important Racism.com domain name was forwarding to a page within the National Football League’s (NFL) website. If you visit Racism.com, you will be taken to a video with NFL Executive Vice President of Football Operations Troy Vincent discussing how NFL players have been responding to Commissioner Roger Goodell’s message about racism.

I was curious about why Michael Neal, the longtime registrant of Racism.com, decided to forward traffic to the NFL’s website, which he had mentioned in a post on LinkedIn:

I was looking on Twitter this morning when I came across this tweet from @BrandAlready who shared a photo of a boat he purchased with the proceeds from his domain name sales:

I bought this old scab, paid in full by aftermarket #domain name sales. How’s that for ”pigeon shit”? pic.twitter.com/XlIVnZWC4j
