You’ve probably seen lists of the most unfortunate domains doing the internet rounds before, including anything from Pen Island (PenisLand.net) to Therapist Finder (TheRapistFinder.com) and everything inbetween. But I’d never seen a travel-specific list before. Avoiding the all too easy Cook Islands domains (with the suffix .co.ck), here’s a list of 5 of the most unfortunate travel domains out there:
#5 A site dedicated to New York state’s canal system… NYcanal.com (NYCanal.com)
#4 A currency conversion site… DollarsExchange.com (DollarSexChange.com)
#3 A site to promote the Lake Tahoe region… GoTahoe.com (GotAHoe.com)
#2 A camp for children to learn their favourite musical instrument… FiddleKids.com
#1 Sadly no longer in existence, but a Vegas vacation rental site… IHA Vegas.com (IHaveGas.com)
That is very funny. The NYCanal one is hilarious. I bet it gets alog of unintended hits. This reminds me alot of the SNL skit where sean connerry pronounces the categories wrong. Fiddle kids, that one is just wrong. I am sure they knew what they were getting into whent hey made that one (free pr).
Thanks for sharing!

You’d think they would get somebody to double check…. it’s almost as if they want to get noticed????!
