With names like Stuff.com or Firstyears.com, how can you lose?
Apparently former high-speed Internet provider Excite@Home once felt likewise. But At Home Liquidating Trust, successor to the once high-flying Internet darling Excite@Home, said Wednesday it is selling the former broadband company's 119 domain names.
The sale of the domain names marks yet another step in the dismantling of the former Internet giant since its Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2001.
The former company had amassed a war chest of names, ranging from Shoppingcart.com to Home.net to Mystuff.com.
It was a sign of the Internet boom era in the late 1990s, with a number of companies and individuals snapping up domain names with the intent of reselling them later, or using them for future business areas they might expand into.
