Listed below are updates on the top ten domain sales from a year ago, as ranked by DN Journal.
1. TMHCC.com sold for $65,000
An abbreviation for Tokio Marine HCC, an insurance company. The domain was needed because the company rebranded in 2015 when Tokio Marine Holdings, Inc. acquired HCC Insurance Holdings, Inc. The site is the traffic leader for this week’s domains, with its Alexa rank near 750,000. “Tokio Marine HCC (TMHCC) is a leading international Specialty Insurance group with offices in the United States, the United Kingdom, Spain and Ireland.”
2. Retard.com sold for $61,936
The domain is parked and under privacy protection.
3. 0Z.com sold for $32,500
That’s a zero and a Z. The domain doesn’t resolve, and it’s owned by an individual in China.
4. Bid.net sold for $24,999
The domain is parked and under privacy protection.
5. VBD.com sold for $22,000
I bought this one and still own it, and as I mentioned last year, if I had to sell it now at wholesale prices, I’d be selling for a loss.
6. VR.top sold for $18,564
A Chinese and English language for-sale lander is live.
7. Career.eu sold for $16,950
7. Careers.eu sold for $16,950
Both domains have a simple letter “J” as a lander, likely standing for “jobs”, as the domains are owned by the folks behind the developed Jobs.bg. A couple weeks earlier, they acquired the Career.net domain for $85k, where the same “J” lander is live.
9. Sucker.com sold for $15,000
No site resolves, and it’s owned by an individual in Austin, Texas.
10. BlueChip.com sold for $14,000
This domain was an upgrade from BlueChip.uk.com, an IT company based in the UK. “Industry-leading IT Cloud & Managed Services provider delivering service excellence. 140+ tech experts and 24/7 support & monitoring as standard.” The site has an Alexa rank near 2.0 million.
