Recent Registrations Stats

Posted in Country tlds, ICANN, News on July 16th, 2008 by Michael – Be the first to comment

Here is the recent registrations stats for End of June 2008, or the latest data available. Top 3 tlds, .com, .de and .cn make up over 100 million domains, .net pushed to the 4th place.

We can see an enormous growth in .cn registrations, but this is mostly due their extremely low price. Many sites offer Chinese domains for just $0.13, yes, 13 cents only!

.co.uk is now slightly above .org and with UK pound going strong unlike the US dollar, the recent week’s sale of Phones.co.uk for $345k and LegalJobs.co.uk for $40k in addition to the previously reported sale of Cruises.co.uk for $1.1. Million comes to show how big the .co.uk tld is.

Apotheke.eu (”pharmacy” in German) sold for $81K last week and as the EU expands and grows tighter we can expect the .eu names to grow as well.

.asia is the new kid on the block and while many consider this new extension completely useless, there was one good sale in dnjournal last week: LasVegas.asia for $30k.

Money.co.uk May Have Sold For $2.4M

Posted in Country tlds, News on April 11th, 2008 by Michael – 1 Comment

It was reported that Money.co.uk was sold for an astounding $2.4M!

Money.co.uk is a nice looking site, but doesn’t seem to have much traffic

The report remains unconfirmed and is only based on a digg article and a few blogs that picked it up, so it might as well turn out a hoax, or a joke.

Another record for .uk, after a month ago cruises.co.uk sold for over a million.

Illinois data recovery company ESS Data Recovery purchased DataRecovery.com for $1,659,000 this week in the largest domain sale reported thus far in 2008. It was also the year’s second 7-figure sale, joining Cruises.co.uk ($1,099,798) at that lofty level. There were also a pair of six-figure sales this week. Florida-based Elysium Internet, Inc. purchased Auditors.com for $125,000 in a private transaction and Skyport.com produced $101,000 at Sedo.com.
