Godaddy is reporting that the election of Pope Francis is causing 100’s of new domain name registration within the 1st hour of the election.

“Keywords such as Pope, Francis, Bergoglio and Habemus Papam were used in identifying the new domain names registered with Go Daddy.”

“In the first hour 479 domains were registered with Go Daddy”

At TheDomains.com we already reported on some of the domain name registrations that took place just minutes after the renouncement.

    I personally fail to see the need to run out and buy a name unless it was the top extension(s) and spot on. I really cant see 500 name registrations of value unless the value is negative (the money spent registering).

    Im curious what is the value of popefrancis.net anyway or should i go register epopefrancis.com first?

    Silly. I guess its news. I cant see any names changing hands unless it is to other hyped domainers, but will be curious to know none-the-less for entertainment.

    Mike–you and I are going to Domain Heaven where 72 virgins await us.

    It is a sin to reg any domains that have pope in it.

    Trying to decide between some new domains matching the foresight (or foreskin) of those already offered:
    How about:
    LibPope(s).com
    LiberalPope(s).com
    ThePopeFormallyKnownAsCardinalJorgeMarioBergoglio.com

    Bull

    I’m Jewish so I don’t think I get the virgin in heaven thing.

    I do think its more than 72 and I have no idea of why you would want that many virgins, all and all I rather have an equal amount of porn stars

    All of these people will be millionaires by next week. No, really. A friend who knows someone whose cousin read an article on how to make a fortune buying and selling domain names, told them so.
