Imagine if you were somehow able to purchase Google’s domain name—and for just $3. That unlikely-sounding scenario really did happen in Argentina, where a web designer bought Google.com.ar while the site was down for two hours.
The BBC reports that 30-year-old Nicolas Kurona purchased Google Argentina’s domain name using a standard, legal process, though he never expected it to work.
On Wednesday night, Kurona was at home designing a client’s website when he began receiving messages on WhatsApp that Google was down. “I entered www.google.com.ar into my browser and it didn’t work,” he said. “I thought something strange was happening.”
