I want to probably develop into a webmail system but any cost of an undeveloped blatant copy of inbox.com: inb0x.com ?

Thanks

:D

i think it might be a waste of time..because inbox is branded..any traffic you create will go to them..also i dont think you can get any mistypes or over flow from them...

i could be wrong..but for the adult market i am in, these styles of mistypes dont seem to work.

resale value is minimal.

If you take the time and develop it, could be worth something.

I've got a couple of domains where the letter i is replaced by the number 1, and I market them as Number 1 in xxxxx. It's OK for a cheap site, but not ideal. Using a similar idea, yours would be nothing in my in box, and I don't think that is a good USP.

It's just a parasite on inbox.com; plus mis-types always suck. The deletion lists daily are full of mis-types and one-character substitutions.

Sorry, but $0

never, ever start replacing the letter O with the numeral zero, or Ls with ones, or Us with Vs, etc. It's a complete waste of time.

You can't use this as an email place as all your email would end up at the domain that's spelled right. That way you'd be a double threat to them: you'd be typosquatting on their name (but in a way nobody would ever accidentally type wrong) and causing them extra worthless traffic.

Developing this is an even worse idea than letting it sit parked somewhere.

clever use of zero

but not strong meaning for commercial use

now inbox.com could be an email portal if it isn't already

if you want to create some type of email service it is fine

but you'll have to promote the heck out it via the net

so if you have a network of sites it's great

now if it was a play on zero for a major industry word like

M0NEY etc

it would have a strong minimal value 1000+

as it is, it's worth something to anyone that wants to try to do something with an email portal

not much

but worth the reg fee if not just for the oddity of it

I think he must be talking about Italian Lira. I think that is about $1.
