The last time I visited the Big Island of Hawaii I left with a few parting gifts. I bought TheBigIsland dot com and IslandSolar .com. I didn’t buy them on vacation but I wrote them down as two names that I wanted to own and eventually bought them. One, could be a million dollar buildout and the other is perfect for the islands but could be used for any island or really any solar company.
I also felt that every trip could be a business expense if I built out the domain myself. I don’t really write off my trips but every time I go to the islands I raise the price of the domains. Because it makes me realize the value of such a defining, category killer domains. People that don’t know much about Hawaii don’t know the value of the domain but those that do or live here certainly do. When I tell them I own the domain everyone is pretty impressed and let me know I need to do something good with it. People of Hawaii are very proud of their heritage and their state. Not big fan of outsiders other than to let them come and spend their money and go. Doesn’t mean they are kind people but there is certainly a difference between locals and visitors. I would love to buy some land and have some cattle, fruit trees, and a great view but it really depends on where my daughter ends up. But if its west, my retirement job may very well be TheBigIsland dot com.

Have a name at auction and need more exposure? Send me an email. We Charge $10 per name per day. We may be able to help. If you have an auction you want to promote, email us for details.*All names chosen by us, Shane and Josh . (ie you click through and purchase a name you like) or an occasional paid listing. Everything we say is based on our own research or is opinion. Do your own due diligence. That means look it up yourself if you don’t think the stats or our opinion is correct. We hand choose the names but we are paid to make this list by both the auction houses, individuals that are auctioning names, and Godaddy affiliate links. Keep that in mind and only buy names that YOU think are good.
Way to go Shane with TheBigIsland.com. Very nice name. Same way with me – sailing around the Caribbean for a few years and I had to pick up GingerIsland.com and Mopion.com. My two favorites. Yeah, I think you should be writing your travels off -especially when you acquire the names. It is inspiration for acquisitions. It is for me anyway – check with your accountant – haha. Cheers.
GingerIsland is a nice name even if there wasn’t a real place called that. Redheads only 🙂
