Before you buy a domain name, first check to see if it's haunted

The name was musicbox.fun. I got it for a side-project, an interactive online music box that I had built and hosted at musicboxfun.com. The new name was shorter and more quirky. I felt lucky to have grabbed it.

Unfortunately, musicbox.fun had a history. Before I bought it, the domain was used to host pirated music.

Hence the problem of all the new tld's, a ton of them were and continue to be used for nefarious purposes.

Whenever registering one of the newer tld's one has to see if it was registered before and what the history was.
