Glenn Beck has launched a new website at TheBlaze.com! He happened to promote the website on his Glenn Beck TV show on FOX that I happened to be watching after the standoff at the Discovery building today.

TheBlaze.com domain name was first registered in 2000 and was last owned by MDNH Inc. up to June 26, 2010 according to whois records. It would appear that a sale for the domain name TheBlaze.com took place about that time to a Christopher using a GlennBeck.com email address.

MDNH Inc. is also known as Marchex Inc. who doesn’t always sell very "cheap" like a private owner may. I wouldn’t expect the sale was any higher than four figures but one never knows with domain sales.

TheBlaze.com " is a news, information and opinion site brought to you by Glenn Beck and a dedicated team of writers, journalists & video producers." according the TheBlaze.com/about page.

I tried to dig up a price for the purchase of the domain name TheBlaze.com but did not find one. TheBlaze.com website is currently run on the Wordpress platform. The whois went to privacy on 7/1/2010.

It’s not all that often a 3 letter .com domain name expires. It is even less likely for one to expire at GoDaddy. One reason I think it is less likely for one to expire at GoDaddy is because auto-renew is a default ON, unlike domain name registrar Network Solutions. I think more 3 letter .com domains and valuable domains expire at Network Solution because a customer must turn on auto-renew from its default OFF status.

One must keep financial details up to date for the auto-renew to work and the email address on file needs to be correct so domain name renewal notices arrive. White listing emails from your domain name registrar is always a wise idea so renewal notifications do not hit your spam folder.

With that being said, LHO.com has reached expired status at GoDaddy and has already surpassed the 25 days since expire date to even reach auction. Auction length is 10 days (8 days left in auction from today) and a waiting period of 5-7 days after the auction still remains. If the past owner doesn’t renew during that time, the auction winner will get the domain after paying the winning amount. Learn more about the whole expired domain process at GoDaddy here.

This is the only 3 letter expired domain name auction currently running at GoDaddy. LHO.com was registered August 8, 1998 and has been under whois privacy protection since November 2008.
