I just bought what I think is one of the best names in my entire portfolio.
And I got it for just $7.99 + renewal - uncontested.
I found it on GoExpired in the expired auctions section.
Provoa․com - feels like the perfect name for an advertising agency or an innovative AI company.
It has so many possible use cases, I honestly don't even know where to start.
The name instantly makes me think of words like provoke, provocation, provocative ideas, pushing boundaries, standing out, creating reactions, challenging the norm.
That’s exactly what great advertising and great AI products often do.
It also has that clean modern “VC-backed startup” vibe to it.
Short, memorable, easy to pronounce, and visually strong.
Honestly feels like a brand that could raise millions with the right product behind it.
What would you price this at?

6th months in, developing ZooJobs․com as a job board (bought domain for $6k) - some observations/thoughts:
🦒 this is an entirely different build, compared to RanchWork․com (you'd assume it'd be similar, but no)
🦒 I had (almost) instant traction with RW... ZJ initial growth slower (see img), but positive overall (traffic wise, similar to Vidalia dev early days)
🦒 currently seeding one job per day. manually. no bots, no ai. me. this helps me soak-in industry.
🦒 zoos appear to have HR departments, so need to adjust on how to reach them effectively (w/ ranches, either the husband, or wife, or kids often post the job)
🦒 leaning towards yearly price for unlimited listings as my primary package (RW is a-la-carte, one-off postings)
🦒 no sales yet; don't really care; starting to think sales may occur after a hand shake (versus self-serve like RW)
🦒 might attend some zoo & aquarium conferences later this year to meet folks (like I did w/ duderanch․com & got my first sale)
in these early days, another focus is (selfishly) studying myself, to determine if there's some sort of intrinsic motivation here. Some pull towards this industry - some magic sauce that makes it fun for me to return every day. I ain't interested in grinding some project out that might cost me my sanity. I prefer building something where it doesn't feel like I'm building; or doesn't feel like I'm serving. It feels natural. Effortless action sortof. Hell, you can call it wu wei if you want. I want to start working, and then kindof forget that I'm working. Finding projects like that is hard. But it's doable. You just have to build a lot of projects.
I've built so many over the years, I can never quite tell if something might fit - I only know after I build it, and start serving. Happy to say this one has been quite fun. Maybe daily pics of koalas, lions, cheetahs, and sea otters (holding hands) makes it more interesting 🦦🐆🦁🐨🤷♂️ /fin

.im domain is the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for the Isle of Man. It is a popular, unrestricted TLD often used for personal branding, "instant messaging" (IM) services, and tech startups, with registration available to anyone worldwide.
Jason@requestprice
Overall, ccTLD's have proven to be strong investments when paired with a meaningful SLD (Second-Level Domain) .co was originally the country-code domain for Colombia, but today it’s used globally — arguably even more outside Colombia itself. That’s because “.co” naturally aligns with terms like company, corporation, and commercial .io is the ccTLD for the British Indian Ocean Territory, but it became heavily adopted in tech, startups, gaming, Web3, and developer culture because “I/O” is widely recognized in computing as Input/Output .ai is the ccTLD for Anguilla, but it exploded globally because “AI” universally stands for Artificial Intelligence .cc is the ccTLD for the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, though it has also been used for branding around terms like creative commons, content creator, crypto community, and other “CC” abbreviations .gg is the ccTLD for Guernsey and has become strongly associated with gaming culture because “GG” commonly means good game in online gaming These are examples of how certain ccTLDs evolved far beyond their original geographic meaning and became globally recognized brand extensions tied to industries, culture, or technology.
