The Man Who Owns The Internet

[getaddicted]

Before the current issue of Business 2.0, very few people had heard of Kevin Ham. And yet he is a giant among domainers. His domain enterprises generate approximately $70 million a year and he holds a portfolio of roughly 300,000 domain names. Still, it’s what many do not know about this man that [...]

I have a subscription to Business 2.0 and noticed that cover, but I have not read it yet. Sounds great. B2 had a great article about a year ago on domainers that got me more interested in the industry. Great magazine.

The other one that I get is Inc. It doesn't have as much tech stuff, but a lot of good information about business in general.

WOW! I just read that blog post! I'll be reading the magazine article this weekend. It's amazine!

I read the magazine article in Business 2.0 about Kevin Ham. Amazing. My reaction is one of admiration and disgust. I admire his cleverness and hard work and doing a deal with an entire country. But I don't like that one person has so much power and money, and from somthing that maybe should be shared among many people.

The article talks about him being at a Las Vegas domain auction and buying some expensive domains, then going up and writing a check for about $900,000!

Anyway, I went to sleep last night and this morning I ran to the computer and registered 6 domains:

kevin-ham.biz
kevin-ham.us
kevin-ham.net
kevin-ham.org
kevin-ham.info
kevinham.ws

Am I crazy?

I thought it was funny that kevinham.com was parked...!

Interesting info here.

Domain names are really getting on my mind :grin: Day and night I think about domains and domains and again domains. :crying:

Also interesting actions by nielsencl.

My thought was that as this news gets out, more and more people will be talking about and researching Kevin Ham, so why not be in a position to catch some of that traffic?

Also, I think there are those that will have ideas for sites around this new "hero", and I happily await their offers.

When I first looked, all of the main TLDs for "kevinham" were taken. Then I saw that most of the hyphenaed TLDs were not and since these should show up well for searches I bought them. Then I expanded my seach for the un-hyphened domain and found the .ws, which I think is ok like .cc just not too popular. There was also another TLD, oh yes .bz was open, but it cost about $25 for one year so I didn't get it.

I don't think I can register .eu, .ca, or co.uk domains but While I know some of you may start to hate me, I did register kevinham.in...

While I know some of you may start to hate me, I did register kevinham.in...

Hmm intresting, when i become The next kevinham i will surely get that domain from you hehehehe.. Cant imagine to get that close.. Just his ideas could inspire..

 

[nielsencl]

Darn, someone beat me to registering sohilgala.com... :-(

I plan to read the article a little later tonight.

Interesting moves, nielsencl. I am surprised that someone with that much domain name experience and power would not have registered those domains already! I wonder if you could contact him and have him make an offer for his own domain...

I think that your purchases will pay off if he is featured in more magazines. I could see him being on Larry King Live or Time magazine somehow with what I am reading in the thread.
