Ordered a domain and misspelt it by accident

Got goldentrecipes.com when I thought I was getting goldenrecipes.com

Turns out that is taken anyway, silly me, my own fault, won't be able to even sell that for few dollars so just wasted 8 dollars :[

lol, that sucks.

Whenever I find a good domain that I think is unregistered, i have to check it about 20 times to make sure it's not typoed

Use it as a link to only domain I suppose.

Ross1982 · Sep 16, 2004

Ye, I'm so tired I just didn't think.

Oh well, I'l just let it expire.

I ALWAYS final check the spelling with e.g. Google (or Overture or whatever) AND THEN cut (not even copy, just to make sure) and paste it back. Spotting spelling mistakes by the eyes is a professional skill of people like teachers or proofreaders.

Make a recipie site for a new tea beverage. Golden "T" recipes

Make a forum for the bar online golf arcade game Golden Tee?

Nah just delete it, don't even let it expire.

Sharpy is a crazy cat.

Email your chosen registrar and let them know how displeased you are that they would register such a crappy domain for you. Demand a refund infact.

Haha, I can so relate to that. I have a few junk domains like that too. I learned well to check 30 times + dictionary + google + overture. Once overture ****ed me lol the mistype had 10 000 hits and i thought it was the right spelling.. silly me.. atleast its not a total waste

Overture automatically displays results for corrected spelling, so don't over depend on it. I bought a typo domain myself like a while ago. Just write if off.

:wink:

If its at enom you can ask for a deletion and they'll refund you.

Wouldn't suprise me if most of DNF don't formally report their income in domains.

I've been doing something similar to this ever since I registered wierd.de only to find out I had been spelling weird wrong my whole life!

If they don't, they should. I know a guy who made income on the side and it was an all cash business...no emails, no PayPal records, no escrow records, and lost his home due to back taxes. If they could catch him, they could easily catch someone in the domain business with all the paper (epaper) trails. I claim every penny. Claiming the income actually has benefits as well. When I created my LLC, I had trackable income and I was able to get a business line of credit and business credit cards from the first day I was an LLC.

Lesson #1 - Don't mess with the IRS. They freeze accounts first and ask questions later.

Lesson #2 - See lesson #1
