    progressiverock.com domain name

    I am placing the domain name progressiverock.com for sale. I have owned it since I first registered it in the late 90s. Please PM me for this once in a lifetime domain. Serious offers only, starting bid US$1000?

    Why is it dead? Is Hip Hop/ Rap taking over music?

    Cognitive dissonance.

    “Prog Rock” and “.com” don’t go together.

    Do you have in mind what a "serious buyer" would look like? Who would be interested in owning this domain, and why?

    Someone that wanted to start a magazine, a website, a record label, a festival, a band, a blog, a vanity project... I don't think it's asking too much for the right buyer. I've paid a lot of fees over the years.

    It was probably banned from the internet.

    Who buys domain names and creates websites anymore anyway? As far as most young people are concerned, if it isn't on Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram, or especially TikTok........it doesn't exist.

    BTW: as a professional web developer, I've witnessed many instances in which a cybersquatter buys a domain name, and tries selling it for thousands of dollars. When nobody bites, they simply allow it to expire, and the original interested parties buy it for the normal registrars' prices.

    It has value for what the purchaser will do with it.

    If you in fact sold it, it would appear you got out while the getting is good.

    If Prog is dead, I will not buy music no more. I have a 20000 CD collection of psych / Prog. I would rather be dead then switch to USA brand of music hip hop and rap. No music is far better.

    Hi Brick,

    was that the end of your site or did just move to a new URL?

    Looks like "the purchaser" is the same person that has https://progrock.com/

    It's clearly still under development. I myself have used things similar to "Dummy News 3" and "Dummy News 4" as filler, to demonstrate real content which will eventually occupy the space.
