Web domain Hell.com hath no takers
Organizers hoped the online address would get bids of more than $1 million.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- The Internet domain name Hell.com failed to be bought via a live auction Friday, which organizers had hoped would bring bids of more than $1 million.
Another live auction will not take place until a year from now. However, interested buyers will have the opportunity to grab hell.com before then in ongoing silent auction, according to Moniker.
Hell.com was founded by Kenneth Aronson, who described the domain as a private network "global think-tank" that he wanted to sell because of all the traffic receives and all the rumors the name generates.
"Branding experts said the name is recognized more than Coca-Cola," said Aronson. "It's so enigmatic and the person who buys it has the potential to make it a very big portal."
This tech boom has legs
The domain, which Aronson said he wouldn't sell for less than a million, has become home to a secretive online community that receives nearly 5,000 new visitors daily.
"Hell.com is a variable asset and it's the opposite of what we need," said Aronson. "I may even consider withdrawing it because of all the publicity it has received."
