Numeric Domains a Hit?

There’s been a lot of buzz lately regarding numeric domains (domains consisting of only numbers). Numeric domains are used worldwide for a variety of applications, most notably:

-Area codes
-Phone numbers
-Zip codes
-Lucky numbers

Numeric equivalents of words spelled on cell phone key pads
-Radio and TV stations
-Replacement for common short codes
-Addresses

-Dates
-brands, products and promotions

Scarcity:
All 1, 2, 3, and 4-digit numeric .com domains are taken. Within a recent 2 week period, (February 4-15), over 19,000 unregistered 5-digit numeric domains were sold. There none left. Now, all 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5-digit domains can only be purchased on the resale market.

Value:
It is virtually impossible to buy a one or a two digit numeric domain. Three, four and 5-digit domains regularly trade on the aftermarket for hundreds and thousands of dollars. 173.com recently sold for $302,790 making it one of the highest priced numeric domains sold to date.

“The True Story of the Internet” is about the internet revolution of the last 10 years. The founders of eBay, Google, Yahoo, Amazon, Netscape and many others tell the personal stories of how they made their untold billions in this short time period.

The style of the story-telling is up close and personal. With first-hand testimony from the people that matter, we tell a story that has all the excitement of a thriller — full of battles and back-stabbing, moments of genius and moments of sheer hilarity. You will never surf the net in the same way again.
