Why do urls like allegory.com and smelt.com redirect to godaddy? Does no one really own those by this point? I feel like just about every common word or phrase would have been taken by now.

Question

Also leg.com and smell.com don’t appear to be owned.

Answer 1

Yes, they’re owned. To add to the responses here, try to go to “rognwlflclerjfivneksl.com” or something, you’ll see a domain error message, not a message from GoDaddy or similar. That’s what an “unowned” domain looks like when you visit it.
