Coming soon: sent.com!

Jeremy Howard · 9 Jul 2002, 09:04 AM

We have now completed the purchase of our new .com domain name: sent.com!

The transfer is now in progress, and the domain should be available to Full and Enhanced subscribers within a week. We'll be contacting subscribers at "informative" level or above about changing your domain if you wish.

We have also registered "sent.at" and "sent.as" which will be available for members too!

None of these domains have been activated in the web interface yet--we'll be doing that in the next week or so.

Finally, we also have the following new names, which should help to ensure that everyone can get their preferred username in a domain they like (once home domains are activated):

mm.st (member only?)
fea.st
mailas.com
mailc.net
mailnew.com
4email.net
your-mail.com
allmail.net
ownmail.net
postpro.net
speedpost.net
warpmail.net
airpost.net
mailforce.net
postinbox.com
rushpost.com
promessage.com
proinbox.com
emailplus.org
elitemail.org
realemail.net
familymail.us
cluemail.com
fmailbox.com

Jeremy/Rob, good on you. I like it short so mm.st looks good to me.

Wow! That's awesome news!!!

Everyone will be happy! It's a great domain. And the new ones are cool too.

Thanks!

Some nice choices there, Mr Howard!

ryanc · 9 Jul 2002, 09:23 AM

Oh, so fastmail will only cost a penny now? <g>

Seriously - Nice job on the domains! It's really good! I hope you guys aren't broke now... I'd better get started on a sent.com logo!

Cool. I like rushpost.com too.

1) It is DOTcom

2) Rush = Fast
Post = Mail

Perfect alias for FastMail

and it is not two long since it is a two word combination only.

esTester · 9 Jul 2002, 09:50 AM

Good job! There is a nice new selection of domains there. I hope sent.com won't get confused with cent.com, but that shouldn't be a problem. Great job though.

**Gankaku** · 9 Jul 2002, 09:51 AM

Warpmail.net is kinda fun too if you like scifi...

For some weird reason I kinda like fmailbox.com too.

robert@fm · 9 Jul 2002, 09:57 AM

I like "fea.st" (feast)...

Actually, I think we got a great price. We paid $2,000 for sent.com. Looking at www.greatdomains.com, 'manners.com' has just been sold for $30,000, and mailcafe.net is listed for $30,000 and mailpc.com at $50,000...

Better still, every other domain you see above we purchased direct from the registrar for the standard price! (Which is around $30 for most TLDs, except .com/net/org which were all $8.95).

Goodie! I like your FastMail.FM logo, but I suspect sent.com will become a separate brand over time so it definitely deserves its own logo!

I went to sent.com and stumbled upon the greatdomains site and had a look at some of the prices.

My estimate was that you paid around $5000, so $2000 was a good deal!

Me too.

Most of the obvious .st words were taken, but I was pleased to find one still around. I think these are pretty cool domains, because there's not many of them around.

Two-thousand isn't a bad deal at all. I would have thought it was a lot more expensive. Good buy!
