1. HG7.com sold for $60,001

The domain redirects to HG7.la, which appears to be a parked page, but it annoyingly auto-refreshes, so I can’t tell completely what’s going on. It’s owned by an individual in China.

2. Defiant.com sold for $45,000

This is the home of the rebranded parent company of Wordfence.com, which provides a WordPress security plugin. Their history includes, in part, “In 2012 we launched Wordfence, a firewall and malware scanner for WordPress which was an instant hit.” “In 2017 our corporation rebranded to Defiant which is now the umbrella company for the innovative security products that our team creates.” They continue to have a stand-alone site at Wordfence.com, which has an Alexa rank near 36,000, while Defiant.com has an Alexa rank near 800,000.
