Hi guys, as a small update. I'd like to restrict it to just higher-budget domains.

I won't be purchasing MC server domains.

The title says it all. Preferably .com domains, though, I'm happy with some nice one-word .net's.

Payments over 2,500$ will be done through Dan / any other appropriate service.
You can get this domain Gool.net for many projects, education, sports and everything related to the aims, if you want you can Join the auction and get the 18-year-old domain at a low price : https://sg.godaddy.com/domain-auctions/gool-net-513181479?src=AuctionsLegacy

I have the domain uptechsolutions.com available for sale. However, it is primarily intended for specific corporate projects and is being offered at a low price, so I am not asking for a significant amount. (By Dan).

Sorry to trash the thread Matty <3 but I have to ask this. Have you though about messaging Discord to buy DiscordWiki gridloc ?

I'm personally not a fan of the domain. I messaged Gridloc regarding SkillSeminar.com but it seems the pricing is slightly too high for the domain if we're talking reseller value (in my opinion ofc).

Fair enough. Was just wondering if they emailed Discord about it but I'd assume they'd just a subdomain.

If Discord needed the domain, they would've purchased it by now.

Domain squatting is also an illegal act. You can't register a domain with the intent of profiting off of a trademark.

I would certainly not advise anyone to register any domain with "Discord" (or any company for that matter) in the hopes that you'll sell it off to the company for some $.

Lofi Contacting a company, depending on size, is usually more work than it's worth. It's legal to register a domain and approach a company about it's value to them and offer to sell, however, using their trademark they can file UDRP and attempt to take it from you. UDRP has a maximum amount of around 2k if I am not mistaken, so you'd still end up with a good payment for the domain in that case.

Domain squatting with a specific intent to sell to the trademark owner is illegal per what Matty said, although as long as you can show okay-ish evidence that it was not your end goal to do so maliciously there is nothing they can do about it.

EDIT: I would also disagree with Matty's recommendation on not registering a domain with a company name in it, just don't do so with the sole purpose of reselling to a company. For instance DiscordWiki.com was originally going to be a informational site for new users and existing users about all of the facets and features of the platform, which is well within the terms of which the domain could be used.

I just thought about it. I don't even own the domain. This is trashing Matty's thread.
