Is A Domain Hack Worth 10x More Than The Correct Domain? Banco.co Vs. Ban.co

2010 September 16

One of the results that caught my eye coming out of the .co Land Rush auctions was the result for Banco.co a natural domain compared to Ban.co a hack.

Both domain names were the subject of Land Rush auctions but the results were quite different.

Banco.co sold for just $2,300 a couple of weeks ago, at a land rush auction but the auction for Ban.co just concluded with a sales price of $24,500 more than 10X the sales price of the “correct” domain.

So is a hack worth 10X more than a natural domain?

You tell me

    It is difficult to establish which hack is “better”. A very personal decision.
