About & FAQ
A living index of the domains advertised on Alex Tew's 2005 Million Dollar Homepage. Twenty years on, 369 of those 2,778 grid domains have expired and are buyable again — here you can find them, with their exact pixel coordinates on the original canvas.
I bought one — how do I claim it? 𝕏
Own one of these pieces of internet history? Claim your spot for free. Just point your domain
(a simple 301 redirect or forwarding rule) at your 𝕏 (Twitter) profile —
e.g. yourdomain.com → x.com/yourhandle. Our daily checker follows each domain's redirect,
and when it lands on an x.com/… profile we mark the domain Claimed and show your
@handle in the Owner column on the domains list and as a link on its
profile page. Change or remove the redirect and the claim updates on the next daily sweep. No sign-up,
no fee — the redirect is the proof of ownership.
What is this?
A living index of the domains advertised on Alex Tew's 2005 Million Dollar Homepage. Twenty years later many have expired — here you can spot the ones that are available to register or for sale, with their exact pixel coordinates on the original grid.
Why don't I see every domain from the grid?
Two reasons. First, we only list domains that are actually for sale today (available, premium or auction) — not the thousands still owned and taken. Second, and importantly, we only show domains whose link on the Million Dollar Homepage is still a live link to the real domain.
What about the archive.org links?
On the original page, a large chunk of the outbound links no longer point to the advertiser — they've been rewritten to web.archive.org snapshots because those sites died years ago. Those entries are just frozen pictures of a dead page, so we deliberately exclude the archive.org-snapshot links and only surface domains that still carry a genuine, live link. Every “Check” button goes to a live GoDaddy lookup — never to a dead archive page.
Are these really available?
We re-check availability every day and refresh the list to keep it current — even more often while the site is new. Prices and availability still change constantly, so always confirm on GoDaddy before buying via the Check › button.
Available vs Premium?
Available = register at the standard price at any registrar. Premium / Auction = the domain is registered and listed for resale on GoDaddy's aftermarket; the Price column shows GoDaddy's asking price.
How do I read the grid coordinates?
X and Y are the top-left pixel of the domain's largest ad block on the 1000×1000 canvas. Hover any row to light up its exact pixels in the Grid locator.
