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.

What you’re seeing is called “domain parking”. Just because you see a GoDaddy domain parking page doesn’t mean no one owns the domain. It just means no one is currently doing anything with the domain.
