2 One Letter .Net Domains Are Registered. How Much Will Others Sell For? - 24 one letter .net domains are currently reserved. How much will they sell for? Last night I wrote about VeriSign’s request to auction off one and two character .net domain names. I did a search on the one letter .net domains, and found that two of them are already registered. These domains are grandfathered in to the system. i.net is technically owned by Inet Corp., but it’s essentially Future Media Architect’s private domain name registrar. You may ... read more ...

Verdict: $35.6 Million Insurance.com Acquisition Wasn’t Just The Domain Name - Quinstreet is clear about what it acquired when it bought Insurance.com. It wasn’t just a domain name.

Now the big question, as others are debating right now: How much of this was for the domain name? Was this a domain name purchase at $35.6 million? The answer to the second question ... read more ...

Most online domain name marketplaces are generic in nature, letting customers search or navigate to the category of their choosing. Does it make sense to have online marketplaces specific to a particular category, too? A handful of entrepreneurs and domainers think so. Last week David Bleaman sent me information about YellowShow.com, a site where small businesses can purchase their geo-targeted ... read more ...

Quinstreet Acquisition of Insurance.com: $36.5 Million Dollars - Quinstreet (QNST) just announced today during its conference call that total consideration it paid for acquiring the domain name Insurance.com was $36.5 Million dollars. $36.5 MILLION Dollars.
