This was Zuckerberg first domain for the Harvard social network, which apparently was a college version for “Hot or Not”. The idea of a social network started to grow, and the domain name selected end up with Facebook.com in 2004. By 2007, Mark Zuckerberg did not renew the first domain name and Rahul Jain took it.

FaceMash.com is now for sale in Flippa. The auction started at U$S8000, and the current bid is at U$S19000 with 15 days to go.

If you have an idea for a social network startup, then this is the domain name for you.

I guess if we have the money we can buy anything, including top web companies like GoDaddy, which holds currently 43 million domains. But that’s not all, GoDaddy provides web hosting, security features, and other electronic and web offerings. The estimative revenue for this company is U$S 750 and U$S800 million; making the 1 billion price like a lot reasonable.

GoDaddy, based in Arizona, started in 1997 with Bob Parsons who is currently the chief executive. Qatalyst Partners is the company in charge for handling this GoDaddy auction and expects that the magic number of 1 billion dollars can be actually a bit more; considering that other competitive firms like Register.com and Web.com are not anywhere near the kind of profit GoDaddy can achieve.
