Domain name pawn shop

It was only a matter of time. Get cash using your domain name as collateral. You have to give them control of your domain registration (they change your account/password), sign over rights to your website content, and pay minimum finance charges & fees every 30 days @ 15% interest/month (180%/year APR) - or lose your domain and content.

Losing content is what backups are for.
You could argue that your account was hijackedI could tell you a joke about UDP. But I'm not sure you would get it!

I am sure not all domain names would qualify. They must have pretty strict requirements on the quality of the domain name for this type of service.

high traffic
I believe their primary concern is how much traffic you get. Their control panel for pawning domains has shown up as blank for a long time, though. Honestly, though, I haven't tried to hard to check them regularly, as I only signed up for an account because it was a novelty and I wanted to see what they had available for sale. It seems to me that its probably just a speculator looking for people willing to let go of high traffic names cheap. Can't blame them for that, though.
