Is there a new Million Dollar Homepage in 2026? Yes — this one.
You already know the concept. You are looking for a version that is actually live — one you can buy into today, not a dead clone or Tew’s sold-out 2006 page. This is it, with one change: the pixels rank a list instead of colouring a canvas. €1 a pixel, 999,917 still free as of this page load (100.0% of the stock), and rank #1 currently costs €29. Every listing gets its own permanent URL — the piece the original never had.
Why “Million Dollar Homepage 2” usually means a dead page
Search “new million dollar homepage” or “million dollar homepage 2” and most results are corpses: sites launched in the 2006 imitation wave that sold a handful of blocks, then went quiet and eventually 404'd. They copied the grid and missed why the original worked — and, more usefully, missed the parts a version built now has to get right.
The whole story of the original — the $1,037,100, the eBay auction, the link rot you can still click through today — is on its own page: the Million Dollar Homepage, explained. This page is about the live successor.
This board vs the clones
| Typical clone | This board | |
|---|---|---|
| Still buyable? | Original sold out in 2006; most clones went offline | Live — 999,917 pixels free right now |
| Price | Often subscriptions or opaque 'packages' | €1 per pixel from €3, paid once, no renewal |
| What a pixel is | A square in a shared image nobody reads | A point of rank on one ordered list |
| Per-buyer page | None — a rectangle in one big image | A permanent page at /p/name |
| Proof of value | None — 'great exposure!' | Clicks and real cost per click, published |
| Checkout | Half-built or broken PayPal buttons | Stripe — card, Apple Pay, Google Pay |
| Link honesty | 'SEO backlinks!' (against Google's rules) | rel="sponsored", stated plainly |
| Mobile | Fixed canvas, unusable on a phone | A list — readable on any phone |
How it stays up when the others didn't
Three things killed the copies: no working checkout, nothing worth owning, and no reason to keep the page alive once the buzz faded. This one is boring on purpose. Payments run through Stripe, so the money actually clears. What you own is a line of text and a number, which cannot rot the way a hotlinked image does. And because there is no subscription and almost no running cost, there is no monthly bill anyone has to keep paying for it to exist — the thing that quietly ends most side-project sites.
It's also moderated: obvious junk and anything illegal doesn't go up. That's the difference between a board you would put your name on and a link farm.
Take a place in three steps
- Write your line. A name, a link and one sentence of 90 characters. No image to design, nothing to upload.
- Choose your pixels. €1 each, from 3. The form shows the rank you will land on, and what taking #1 would cost, before you pay.
- Keep them. Stripe confirms, your line appears, and its page at
/p/namestarts counting the clicks it sends you.

Questions before you buy
Is it too late to buy pixels?
No — the opposite problem. Almost nothing has been sold, so there is no scramble and the top of the board is cheap. The 2005 original sold out in five months because the press drove a rush; there is no press here, which means no queue. Right now, three euros can put you at rank #1.
Will anyone actually see my pixels?
Be realistic: not many people, and we will not pretend otherwise. A pixel page in 2026 has no news story pulling traffic the way Tew's did in 2005. That is why every listing publishes the clicks it has actually received and what they cost — check that before you pay. Buy a place as a permanent marker with its own page, not as an ad channel.
What does the sponsored link do?
Your line links out to the URL you choose, and that link carries rel="sponsored" because you paid for it — which is exactly what Google's link-spam policy requires. So it will not pass ranking signal. Anyone selling pixel-board 'backlinks' is either ignoring that rule or not telling you. What you get is a real, crawlable page and counted clicks, not link juice.
How is this different from the original milliondollarhomepage.com?
Tew's page sold out in 2006 and never reopened — you can look at it but you cannot buy in. This is a fresh stock of 1,000,000 pixels at €1 each, with one change that matters: a pixel here is a point of rank on a single ordered list, not a square of a shared image. Three pixels of picture are invisible; three pixels of rank put you on a list people can read. Every listing also gets a permanent page the original never had.
Why did most 'Million Dollar Homepage 2.0' copies die?
They copied the canvas and skipped the plumbing: no working checkout, no moderation, no permalink per buyer, and — fatally — no reason to buy once the novelty was gone. The canvas itself was the weak part. This one runs on Stripe, gives every listing its own page and its published cost per click, and sells rank rather than an unreadable rectangle. It is also priced as a one-off curio rather than as fake advertising.
