A rare geo-domain name opportunity is available with a particular domain, which leverages the suffix of a U.S. state's name to create a memorable and unique web address type known as a "domain hack." This state is one of only 13 U.S. states where the suffix can seamlessly integrate into a meaningful domain name. The document highlights the growing value of such domain hacks by listing successful sales, including well-known examples like Local.ly ($100,000) and Instant.ly ($32,000). Wisconsin, the state in focus, possesses a population of over 5.5 million and a State Domestic Product of $282 billion. It consists of 72 counties, with Milwaukee County being the most populous, and 53 major cities and towns, with Milwaukee as the largest city.
The domain in question is registered with a major registrar and is secured until June 2015, with an annual renewal fee of $14.99. Due to the high value and rarity of domain hacks, they are often held for current or future development. The transaction for this domain will be conducted via a secure platform, with fees shared equally between the buyer and seller. Payment is required within 48 hours of starting the escrow process, whether through auction conclusion or a predetermined purchase price. This unique offering represents a valuable opportunity for those interested in premium digital real estate.
