They've been doing this for ages but I didn't realize...
Dien,
Thanks for the info. THAT explains it. A while back I searched for an equally obscure domain name using Network Solutions. It was Free, of course. But a couple of days later when I went elsewhere to Register it, it was taken. At first, I thought someone somewhere was Scanning the Domain Name Checking and obtaining them in the hopes of selling them to the original searcher later. Little did I know the people doing that were those who I'd done the search with. Now here's an additional thought... what if Network Solutions, after taking the name off the market, then markets the name to those they feel might be able to use such a name? Maybe based on Keywords within the name. For example.... sending a notice to people with the word Piano in their domain name and offering them cablecowpiano for a fee. It would make a quirky Different Name that might Grab Attention. And at the least such a name could have a Redirect on it, or the usual "search box and keyword related links" that unused domain names seem to have on them. Also, as it is an Odd name... maybe they offer such names to upcoming Bands too. Be interesting to see if you double check that name in Google a month or two down the track and discover there is a band called Cable Cow Piano or the site redirects to a cable company or piano company.
