| Ever think about starting your own website? HPC.com is now up for sale. It used to be some hospital group that is now defunct. Minimal asking price is $100,000 USD.
Also HandhelpPC.com is up for sale for the low price of $10,000.
Here's your chance |

| Rich,
I think nowadays, you can get almost any domain names with domains that aren't .com.
For example, .io, .cc, .online, .biz, .online .co etc. and that's the trend these days.
And the price at $100,000? It will probably take years to be able to cover that cost! lol....  
.com domains were worth a lot and probably it still is in some cases, but not as much as it used to be. Edited by stingraze 2018-03-15 9:16 PM

| I think I can cover the costs given enough time… probably tale me 1000 years. Guess I'll stick to .net and .org suffixes… |

Meanwhile, hpc.net is still standing even though it's been dormant for 15 years - and windowsce.com still redirects to it.

Why would I want a site called HandhelpPC.com?  |

| Actually HandhelpPC.com sounds like the ultimate porn site. "Download our free app on just about everything!"
Money to be made,

| HPC = High Performance Computing. It's why I get so many scummy requests for this domain. |

| HPC as in high performance computing is a cool field in this big data time...
but to justify a $100,000 price tag? not for me.  (I can't afford it lol ) but it is worth a lot for high performance computing guys! (like IBM, Cray, Fujitsu, Dell, etc. ) Edited by stingraze 2018-03-19 8:48 AM
