$1 million adds a letter ‘s’ to a Net address

There’s still plenty of money to be made in generic domain name speculating game.

A British travel company has paid $1.1 million for the domain name cruises.co.uk, a price that is effectively $1 million just for the letter “s” since it already owns the address cruise.co.uk. The sum shatters the previous record for a .co.uk domain of $300,000, paid in October last year.

So what’s in a letter? How about adding or subtracting the letter “s” from one or two well known domains. www.apples.com? www.nytime.com?

Anyone game then? ;)
