I wonder how much it would cost them to buy git.com.



From domainbrokers.com: > The owner might not respond to offers under $299520

Yikes.


Seems stupid on the part of the owner, not like they are going to find a big brand that matches the domain so well again and who knows how long domains will be valuable.


What an ass. He'll never sell it though, so his loss.


Yeah, I've inquired a number of times, it's ridiculous.


Yikes, 300k? How much would it cost to buy a new TLD?


Actually, that's a fascinating point. I wonder if Github has considered coughing up the the $185k to apply for the .git TLD.


I wonder if anybody has a server on their network named 'git' with which the single label DNS name 'git' as a TLD would conflict?


Wait until someone picks up .intranet. Heh.


Can you imagine how many user credentials per minute a 'mailserver' TLD could harvest?
