Earn millions with your .com (no this is not an advert)

A 43-year-old man from Maryland has sold the domain name pizza.com for almost 10,000 times the price he paid for it. Chris Clark registered the name pizza.com in 1994 for just $20, and continued to pay the annual registration fee until January of this year, when he heard the domain name vodka.com had gone for a massive $3 million, and decided he wanted a slice of the pie.

Look at it more like a stock market, if you do that, it's facinating!

It's still cybersquatting, in a way.

Is that in the same domain as "2 girls"?

Me and my friend wanted to do this with a bunch of domains when we first heard of the internet. Unfortunately neither of us could figure out how to buy domains without a credit card. We would be millionaires by now!
