Do you know the same situation happened with "Google" Like Jiohotsar 💡 A Guy Who owned "Google" domain for only $12 🤯 In 2015, Sanmay Ved, a former Google employee, discovered that Google’s domain “google.com” was available for purchase through Google Domains for just $12. Surprised by the availability, Ved proceeded with the transaction and briefly became the owner of one of the internet's most valuable domains. However, Google quickly realized the error and reversed the transaction within a minute. After the incident, Google reached out to Ved to offer him a reward for identifying the issue. While the reward amount was initially undisclosed, it was later revealed to be $6,006.13—a figure that cleverly spells out "GOOGLE." Ved chose to donate this reward to charity, and upon learning of this, Google doubled the amount, resulting in a total reward of $12,012.26. Damn🔥 Share Your Thought 💬

All the .com domains seem to be taken. It’s so hard to find a good name and then you can only hope for the domain being available 🥲
