Some Developed NNNN.org's

There is some discussion of a potential buyout for NNNN.org's, since over 90% are registered apparently, and there are only 10,000 to begin with. So I thought it would be interesting to spotlight some developed NNNN.org domains.

1001.org is an art website (redirects to the-artists.org)

1003.org is a developed site for Korea Nabgol Industrial Association.

1006.org is a software development and training site.

1014.org is a computer-related blog.

1016.org is used by Ten Sixteen Recovery Network for treatment for addictive behaviors. 1016 is the street address of the residential services.

1019.org is another art website.

1026.org is an Asian blog.

1031.org is used by the Federation of Exchange Accommodations based on the Internal Revenue Code Section 1031.

1040.org is used by a Certified Public Accountant for obvious reasons.

1046.org is a developed Asian site.

1057.org is an art website.

1060.org is a computing resource website for a company called 1060 Resource.

1061.org is someone's homepage. 1061 stands for "To Ro I" (the romanized Japanese version of the person's first name).

1062.org is the Voluntaristic Self-Determined Volitional Mandators Democratic Organization (huh?). Looks like they picked 1062 because their organization has 62 rules.

1066.org redirects to 1066.co.uk, and I have no clue about this one.

1069.org looks like an Asian site that is being redesigned.

1070.org is a photography site.

1091.org is a developed Asian site.

1099.org is another tax-related site, again for obvious reasons.

100 Israeli Postal Codes

After finding a nice developed NNNNN.com used by an Israeli real estate company, I have been going through Israel's 5-digit postal codes (zip codes) and trying to come up with a list of each zip code by location name, including Hebrew and alternative spellings. Here is the first 100 (I think there are more than 1.3k total). Please double-check these zip codes, I have not verified them as current or accurate with the Israeli postal service. Anyways, if you have NNNNN.com domains, you can check yours against this list and hopefully more lists in the future of Israel postal codes.

Godaddy Domain and Blog with Blogger / Blogspot

I want to apologize to everyone for the domain being down recently. I have been trying to figure out what happened and went through a million different iterations before I realized what it was. i had accidentally changed the nameserver of the domain to point to a parking service when I was updating some of my other domains. I basically figured this out through reverse engineering, by finding other people who had domains published by blogger but who were using their .com rather than the "blogspot" default that google provides. Maybe this information will help other people who are trying to figure out how to get their Godaddy domain to point to their blog with blogger.

So here is what I did to fix the problem.

First, I signed in to GoDaddy, clicked on "My Domains". Then "jumped" to this domain by typing in the first few letters "nnn". Clicked on the domain name. Then clicked on "Nameservers", sleected "Custom Nameservers" and for "Nameserver 1" typed in "NS25.DOMAINCONTROL.COM" and for "Nameserver 2" typed in "NS26.DOMAINCONTROL.COM". Then I clicked on "Forwarding" to make sure it says "Domain is not forwarded" (apparently you can use forwarding to get your domain to point to your blog, but that is not how I have done it).

Then click on "Total DNS Control and MX Records." Since I had been messing around with these trying to fix the problem I clicked on "Reset to Default Settings" under CNAMES (Aliases) and MX (Mail Exchange) just to be careful. Then I clicked on the CNAME record where the "Host" is specified as "www" and changed the "Points To" information to be "ghs.google.com". I have read suggestions that say you have to type "www." and "ghs.google.com." with the period at the end of each entry but it worked for me without the period. Then I clicked "Add New CNAME Record" again and for this one entered "nnnnndomains.com" in the "Host" filed and "ghs.google.com" again in the "Points To" field.

Lastly, I went to Blogger, logged in to my account, clicked on "Settings", then "Publishing" and clicked "Custom Domain". Then for the field where it asks you to type in the custom domain I put in "www.nnnnndomains.com" and selected the option "redirect nnnnndomains.com to www.nnnnndomains.com".

And that's it, the blog is back up and running. Sorry for the down time and I hope anyone that is having similar problems is helped by this information.

940.com On Auction at Sedo

Current price is $6,669 with about 15 hours left.

Other numerics are on auction as well:

051.com is also ending around the same time and is currently at 4,200 EUR.
1573.com, a very nice NNNN.com, is currently at $500 with 2+ days left.
And a hyphenated N-N.asia (!?) 1-9.asia is at $110 with 4+ days left, who would have thought...

Numerics in Top Global Sites

Chinese traffic is really starting to take off, and will only continue to grow dramatically over the next decade, as hundreds of millions of people get internet access. The effects of this are already starting to show. The Alexa global top 500 sites now has a bunch of numeric domains, which are popular in China. One of these, 888.com, I think is a casino site that is popular worldwide.

163.com (#51)
56.com (#73)
888.com (#153)
126.com (#307)
89.com (#397)
51.com (#574)
17173.com (#745)

These numbers strongly suggest that numeric domains are still undervalued in the domain market, given that numeric domains are among the most popular sites and numerics are extremely scarce in relation to their letter counterparts (e.g., 10k NNNN.com's v. 450k+ LLLL.com's and 100k NNNNN.com's v. 1.18 million+ LLLLL.com's). There have already been 2 sales of NNN.com's for over $300k this year, so it's clear that some people are recognizing the potential here.
