So why did Microsoft register the domain name seferteks.com ?

[Wargasm]

And if you have an idea feel free to comment !
I have no idea at all and i cannot find anything on Google.

Microsoft also registered seferteks.net thus securing the 2 most used domain extensions.
The WHOIS currently displays :

Registrant:
Microsoft Corporation
Domain Administrator
One Microsoft Way
Redmond, WA 98052
US
Email: @microsoft.com

Registrar Name....: CORPORATE DOMAINS, INC.
Registrar Whois...: whois.corporatedomains.com
Registrar Homepage: www.cscprotectsbrands.com

Domain Name: seferteks.net

Created on..............: Mon, Dec 12, 2011
Expires on..............: Wed, Dec 12, 2012
Record last updated on..: Mon, Dec 12, 201

Microsoft also registered :
les-experts-pinpoint.com
les-experts-pinpoint.net
These two domain names are related to their Pinpoint marketplace software.

Sefer Teks = Safer Techs?

I guess they'll be founding a Sister corporation over microsoft - for more benefits etc.
Also, since the domain name doesn't consist out of words I could recognize, I'm guessing it will be specialized for foreign countries?

I had the same idea HB and i ran it thru google translate. But even after some fiddling i could not come up with something that made sense.
So i have no idea why they secured the .com and .net.

Couldbe some future project that will never take off.
Like why did 20th CenturyFox register the below domain names ? Never made movie with trolls (as far as i know).

goatpie.net
goatpie.org
mrsthemovie.net
mrsthemovie.org
theevolutionmovie.net
theevolutionmovie.org
trollsgohome.net
trollsgohome.org
trollsonvacation.net
trollsonvacation.org
trollsunitedmovie.net
trollsunitedmovie.org

these really don't matter much, to these companies the cost of the domains is next to nothing

 

[Hatebreeder]

I agree, that it wouldn't bear any fruit, because the name is just too dubious.

 

[Wargasm]

That the price is low is only a good thing.
Now you got an idea and you just register tons of domain names to cover all your bases.
Example :

[iPeez]

Come to think of domains.. Doesn't Microsoft host their own domains? Wouldn't they also be capable of registering domains and earn cash without using them.

 

[Wargasm]

They do host their own domain names. But Microsoft registers their domains thru markmonitor.com. Domain names are cheap unless you register thru markmonitor. I read from a domainer Markmonitor starts at 22k a month to register your domain names as a company. pretty steep

Maybe they would make a "troll" movie In the future?

yeah prolly and for some reason it got dropped.

I spotted this earlier on this morning when i was checking out Sony pictures.
