[Man]

Hello
i don't know if this was posted here before but i figured it out lately
when i tried to visit Aljazeera.com the magazine.

oh finally after all these years

still the name is ugly with tons of alternative ways to write it

[Man]

Yeah, but i wonder how much did they pay to get this domain regarding the current situation in the area and the increased popularity of Aljazeera TV network.

I guess not less than 100 million $$$ especially if you know that they lost their UDRP against them before in 2005
