Expired .net domains with a past

From 2002 to 2019, the domain was consistently used as a religious site about Medjugorje (D-FE3365 / Eco di Medjugorje). In 2022, the niche abruptly shifted to a recruitment site 'Recruitment Fixed-Term Workers', which lasted until 2024. The final niche before the drop (recruitment) does not match the niche that built the link profile (religious).

Japanese site for a golf course development and real estate company (東和開発株式会社 / Towa Development Co., Ltd.). The niche has been stable from 2005 to 2021, with no niche changes. Early snapshots (2005-2013) show garbled encoding, but this is likely the same Japanese company (a Shift-JIS/EUC-JP display issue in the Wayback Machine).

From 2009 to 2017 — a stable website of the German organization/association "Incos" (likely e.V.), niche unchanged. After the drop and domain parking (2018), the domain was re-registered and since 2022 has been used as a Turkish gambling site ("Canlı Bahis Tüyo"), which completely changes the original niche.

Primary niche is IT/email service (Algerian Mail, web development/hosting, Informatique). In 2020, a title 'Wiki DZ :: Algérie mon beau pays' briefly appeared, which does not match the main niche. The final theme before the drop was 'Algerian Mail — Informatique', relevant to the IT profile.

From 2007 to 2021, the site consistently operated as a Japanese catalog/navigator for hotels and travel that allow stays with pets (dogs and cats). The niche did not change.

The domain was initially (2010-2011) and after a gap (2014-2018) dedicated to antivirus and internet security reviews. In 2022, a title briefly appeared with a sharp shift to 'Software for Printing', after which the domain went to parking.

Consistent niche of PTC site reviews (paid-to-click) from 2010 to 2020 with no niche change.

The domain was consistently used as a real business site — an adult nightclub (Japanese kyabakura) in Nagoya from 2012 to 2024. In 2020, the venue underwent a rebrand: the name changed from "ミセス&ミセス" (Mrs & Mrs) to "プリマダム" (Prima Donna), but the niche and location remained unchanged.

Originally a personal blog ("D-189611.net" / "A day in the life of…" / "The Frei's"), which was consistently active from 2004 to 2013. After 2013, the site stopped being content-driven and turned into a blank page with no page title.

Initially the site operated as an auto tools and parts store (2013–2017), then in 2017 the niche shifted to printing, design, and promotional products; the final niche has been stable for over 7 years.

Originally the site was dedicated to real estate (2011), then for a long period (2011-2018) it existed as a personal/brand site "Bika Rebek". After 2019 the niche changed multiple times: "Some Place", "Cargo", and since 2021 the domain has been used for a news spam site ("Broadcast The Lastest News").

Stable niche of the East Lake High School school newspaper ("The Talon") from 2011 to 2022. Since mid-2023, the niche shifted to parking with German-language content ("Informationen zum Thema D-6ABFB8"), then to an empty placeholder.

A stable personal portfolio site for photographer and videographer D-F917E4 (Photo & Video Productions in Texas) from 2013 to 2019. No niche change detected.

Throughout its lifetime (2009–2023), the site had the same page title "D-517153 up", which makes it impossible to identify a specific niche and may indicate a static, undeveloped placeholder site or a one-pager with no content.

From 2004 to 2018/2019 the domain was consistently a Turkish automotive/moto portal (page titles “D-0E336D”, “D-0E336D / Hoş Geldiniz”). In 2019–2020 there was one abrupt switch to Japanese affiliate content (crab, cosmetics/weight-loss products), after 2020 — empty page titles and technical failures; the final niche does not match the Turkish auto link profile.

Originally (2009–2013) the site was dedicated to property rental in Hiroshima (real estate / rental niche). After a long period of domain parking (2014–2015+), the domain was revived in 2019 with a placeholder page titled «ちんたい», and from 2021 it fully switched to a blog aggregator of company reviews («会社の口コミまとめブログ»), which is highly likely a spam resource.

Originally, the site was dedicated to a road D-23FA45 (FreeSim), but in 2015 it was turned into a free web directory and remained in that capacity until the domain expired.

The site has consistently existed as an IT startup (Neltech Hub / Neltech Incorporation) without changing its focus, as confirmed by headlines from 2025 to 2026.

Site of a Vietnamese web studio / website design services (Thiết kế website Tín Khang). The niche has been generally stable from 2021 to 2023, but there were periods of domain parking / placeholder pages (“One moment, please...”) and a long period of redirects without content (2023–2025). The final niche before the drop was web design, which likely matches the link profile, but there is no exact data on the backlink niche.

Consistent niche throughout its entire history (2019–2026) — the site of a real bar/establishment called «D-28F9AF Chuppa Choups» in the Pigalle area (Paris). No niche changes recorded.
