Lsland.com Typo Auction on GoDaddy into the 4 Figures


The Lsland.com domain name is in an expiry auction on GoDaddy Auctions. There are several bidders competing for this typo domain name, and the high bid is $1,010. Peter Askew highlighted this on X earlier this morning:

GoDaddy Auctions doesn’t camelcase or capitalize its listings, so the leading “L” could look like a capital “i” at an initial glance. Below the bidding field, GoDaddy shows the domain name with all caps – LSLAND, which makes this incorrect spelling obvious.

GoDaddy recently implemented AI descriptions on auction listings, and this one is a bit questionable:

“Lsland.com is a catchy, short domain ideal for a travel blog or service focused on island vacations. Its unique spelling makes it memorable, perfect for branding an adventurous, tropical getaway site. The .com extension adds credibility and trust, attracting visitors looking for island experiences.”

This isn’t the first time I have seen a situation like this before. It reminds me of the LNVESTOR.com domain name which previously sold on NameJet for $7,250, according to NameBio.

Hopefully the winning bidder understands what domain name is in auction and that it isn’t eventually used in a manner that could confuse people.
