HaydenPanettiere.com Expires and Set for Auction

It looks like HaydenPanettiere.com has expired and is going to be auctioned at NameJet should it not be renewed today. For those unfamiliar with her, Hayden Panettiere is an American actress (tv and film) who is engaged to world champion boxer Wladimir Klitschko.

HaydenPanettiere.com was originally created back in 2000. Because she is 26 years old now, that means the domain name was originally bought (likely for her) when she was around 10 years old. It looks like the domain name was originally registered on her behalf, and although the domain name has had privacy enabled at various points in time, it appears that someone related to her may have had control of the domain name prior to its expiration.

I perused Archive.org, and it does not look like the domain name was used for a website, at least in the last several years.

There are currently 10 bidders who backordered this domain name at NameJet, although the number will almost certainly increase by the close of backordering tonight. I also saw the domain name in this morning’s Dropping.com email I receive with expired/expiring domain names listed in them.

Although Estibot says HaydenPanettiere.com is worth $60,000, I think it would be a very risky domain name to own. I presume someone could build a website about the star without monetization and use it in a manner that wouldn’t be infringing, but I don’t really see a reason to do that.

Perhaps someone associated with Panettiere will renew this domain name prior to auction.

  1. I think she realized that haydenpanettiere.com is too long and very hard to spell, so she decided to rebrand as Hayden.solutions
