Million Dollar Domain Names
April 6, 2008 by david
Chris Clark of Maryland bought pizza.com back in 1994 in preparation of landing a client in the pizza business for his internet consulting services. Fortunately for him that prospect never did become a client so he held onto the name.
The other day an anonymous bidder paid $2.6 million for the domain. For more information: pizza.com
While we’re talking about million dollar domain names I noticed that the owners of moms.com were asking something around $4 million for it. I own momz.com and would accept less…. I also own momz.net, momz.tv, dadz.com, dadz.tv. I sometimes wonder what they’re worth. If moms.com is worth over $4 million then I suppose momz.com is worth at least 1/10th that. ; ) And what about izit.com? What izit worth?
I can’t help but think back to my days online in 1994 when I was surfing the net, trading stocks on eTrade, and sending emails back and forth to people back east from my perch on the side of Haleakala on Maui. Will I kick myself this hard again in 14 years for not doing what I just know I should be doing TODAY?
What do you think the next 14 years will bring us and the internet?
