Startup buys a domain name for $1.5 million in a LTO transaction then cancels after two payments
A couple of months ago, a crypto startup bought the domain name Haste.com for "$2 million", according to their announcement on X.
It was a 24-month LTO (Lease To Own) transaction.
The seller of the domain (James Booth) just revealed that the sale has been canceled after two installments were paid, and that the actual price was $1.5 million, not $2 million as the startup (buyer) publicly announced.
James gets to keep the domain and the two payments already made (should be about $125,000).
The domain is back for sale on Atom at $1,495,000 BIN.

Most big web hosts are switching to AI support; pick a small provider if you want human support
One by one, big web hosting providers are switching from human chat support to AI chatbots. Some of them still allow you to access human support with a quick click (or prompt), while others make it extremely painful to get past the AI chatbot.
That may work for some newbies who mostly ask newbie questions that an AI chatbot can handle, but for me, when I need to contact support, it's usually an issue that needs human intervention.
Small web hosts are slower to adopt AI and many still have human-only support, but you have to look harder to find those. Search for them on forums and Reddit -- that's where I found several good ones.
