squirearchy.com

Well, hot potatoes. I was just looking back at a blog post from 2004 where I mention domains that I owned.

squirearchy.com was one of the domains. I didn’t own it for long, probably a year or two. In the year 2000, my family loved playing croquet so much, we formed our own croquet club. The name: the Chicago Croquet Squirearchy of Gentlefolk.

The website for our club, chicagocroquet.com, is still alive. (It’s archived at spudart.org/chicagocroquet)

I’m guessing that when I owned the domain squirearchy.com, I redirected it to our website. But now, the domain is expired. It’s out in the wild. According to archive.org, domain squatters owned it for a while.

Today squirearchy.com is not currently registered by anyone.

I thought at this point all single-word domains would have been registered—well, I guess not all the awkwardly-spelled words are registered.

Looking up the official definition of ‘squirearchy’.

Well, Wikipedia’s anyways.

It’s ironic that the dot com for landowning country gentlemen isn’t owned by anyone.
