Have your ever registered a domain on the www?  Yes, there are many out there. Think of a good name, there is a 99% probability that it has been taken up.

Have you ever  sold/sell domain names for a good bargain ? Some of you would have tasted its success while others may have registered domains in a frenzy and dropped them in frustration .

Well how about having a $300 million business whose primarily source of income is through betting on domain names. I had to recompose myself when I read about  Kevin Ham a 37 year old master of domain names. Now, here is a person who maintains low key (how many knew him before reading this ?) but extremely successful in hunting for the choicest domains and mints money of it.  This doctor by academics is fantastic at reading the pulse of the internet community.

Kevin Ham is one of the top beneficiary  if you  wrongly type ‘.cm’ instead of ‘.com’ when you enter a url directly in the browser. Type ‘nike.cm’ and you will be redirected to agoga.com  his treasure trove of sponsored ads. He owns most of the popular names with ‘.cm’ and has a business deal with Cameroon , the country whose office domain name ending is ‘.cm’ .

There is so much and other to his credit from smart business ideas, success, rivalry to law suits and losses . The article here has an exhaustive coverage so I stop my envied ramblings and try to think of some killer internet business ideas.
