Woke up and started feeling for my tablet on my bed. Its usually buried somewhere among the pillows and the comforter. Its the last device I see every night and the first thing that I look for whenever I wake up. The time was 4:44. That’s about the same time I woke up yesterday and the few days before.
Checked my windslider mailbox and recieved another email from Dynadot. They had successfully caught another domain name that I had reserved earlier. Must say I am really impressed with Dynadot. They are fast, quick and really good with what they do.
I had reserved HuluCafe while searching for a domain for Hulu. The last owner did not renew that domain name and it was put up for auction at Godaddy. The minimum bid price starts at USD1057.00. Last check, after I had confirmed my order with Dynadot, the Auction at Godaddy was still active. Believe it will come down soon. I wonder how fast can their system pick this up?

As the new owner, I did not put up the domain for sale. May be its because of the year-end festive period, nobody seems to take notice of the status. Or may be the backend system is not set to register and regularize the flow of domain transaction. Is this a shortfall on the part of ICANN ?
I own a lot of domain names but have never sold a single one. Don’t think I am selling Hulucafe.com. Its saved for Hulu, a pet project which I am currently working on.




Online I could find 3 places taking on the name ‘Hulu Cafe’.
In Hong Kong :

In Bali, Indonesia :

In Elmhurst, New York :

This is my third Hulu related domain name that I have collected over the last 4 days or so.
Running a cafe is part of my dream plan. Would I use the name “Hulu cafe”? Don’t think so. There are already other names on my mind.
Anyway, www.hulucafe.com is now in my domain.
