Arab.com Sells for $225,000 To Seal The Strongest Week
of Domain Sales So Far in '04!
Last week we told you the late breaking sale of
VisitFlorida.com would likely lead this week's
DNJournal.com Top Ten chart. After all, only a handful
of reported sales have topped that $168,000
transaction this year. So who could have guessed that
deal would end up a distant second once all of the
data from the past 7 days was in?!

Domain name and shame
Can you spot the difference between the following two
URLs: preparingforemergencies.co.uk and
preparingforemergencies.gov.uk? That's right, one has
a .gov.uk suffix, the other a .co.uk. To the
uninitiated that probably means little, but more savvy
internet users will know that the former is an
official government URL, which can only be registered
by the chaps from Westminster, while the other - a
.co.uk domain - could easily be registered by anyone,
from the government itself to a bored student. Which,
indeed, it was.
