$20k domain for $70 with a 1hr hack

I was looking for a .ai domain for my AI coaching bot. No surprise... all the short names were taken or the two I could get were $15k & $20k! Not the kinda budget I had in mind for this project.

Searching around I found that I could register the same two names with a .bot domain for ~$70! The hack is that you do need to create and publish a bot as Amazon controls the .bot name releases and verifies the bot's presence.

If you are interested to know how to do it then hit me up and I'll post an article on how to register one a few steps.

    I've never ever bought a domain from a seller other than through domain providers like 123-reg and GoDaddy.

    May be I am lucky, I never had any problem creating a brand and finding the right domain. Here's couple of examples of mine

    https://skilledup.life - skilling up people with experience. And we improve lives.
    https://deallite.uk - investments are deals. Our app is light weight. We cater for the UK.
    https://uktechnews.info - UK Tech Investment news

    I also find it surprising that companies spend a fortune on buying domains. A brand is something you create from nothing. In my opinion, it does not matter what you start with. It's what you do with it.

    All the best.
