There is freedom within, there is freedom without

The rock band Crowded House was formed in 1985 and on Sunday the domain name CrowdedHouse.com closed at $12,000 on GoDaddy. The name was owned by the founder Neil Finn who has his website at NeilFinn.com.

The domain name was registered at 123 Reg not GoDaddy, now interestingly today the whois shows NameFind as the registrant. I don’t know if all 123 Reg names go there first for the registrant designation. The domain expired on 4/22 and here are the terms for 123 Reg https://www.123-reg.co.uk/terms/com-net-terms/

The Crowded House Facebook page for the band has 268,000 likes and was updated last month.

      Good point.

      Love the title Raymond, I listened to that song 10 times a day when it came out.

    Raymond, could you please show Rick what he needs to do to get YouTube videos to show at his blog? It was talked about under a recent post.

    Crowded House is truly an iconic band here in Australia. I grew up listening to them daily and I still listen to their music today. I’ll also be trying to reach out to Neil. Thanks Ray.

    123Reg belongs to GoDaddy since 2017

    the domains are now listed under the Warehosing branch of GoDaddy, NameFind, as they move the domain to them before auction/selling it.
