The fate of domain names is replete with unpredictable twists and turns. Another evidence of this is the story of the Galileo.net domain. It was registered back in 1997, and for a long time it was owned by an Italian registrant. For unknown reasons, he did not renew his domain name earlier this year, leaving the domain available for re-registration and up for auction on the GoDaddy.
The auction did not arouse particularly great interest, the winner of the auction acquired Galileo.net for quite adequate, according to analysts, the amount of $4,050. And now, a little over a month later, the domain was again in the headlines. The Domains reported that the domain name Galileo.net was sold for 50 thousand dollars. We can only congratulate the seller, who in just a month provided a tenfold return on his investment. The domain is currently not responding to requests, but it will be very interesting to find out who and for what purpose acquired it for such a substantial amount.
