10 Most Expensive Domain Names
What's the most expensive domain name on the Internet? It's not 'Porn.com,' which comes in a close second, but 'Fund.com,' at nearly $10 million. Using data from the Domain Name Journal, ABC News put together this list of top 10 most expensive URLs on the Web:
1. Fund.com, $9.99 millionTo save you the trouble of testing out each domain (trust us, porn.com is very, very NSFW), we'll just report to you that only Toys.com and Computers.com are owned by large recognizable companies (Toys R Us and CNET), and the highlight of the list is a tie between Seniors.com (a dating site) and Vodka.com (a social network for vodka connoisseurs). [From: ABC News]
2. Porn.com, $9.5 million
3. Diamonds.com, $7.5 million
4. Toys.com, $5.1 million
5. Vodka.com, $3 million
6. CreditCards.com $2.75 million
7. Computers.com, $2.1 million
8. Seniors.com, $1.8 million
9. DataRecovery.com, $1.66 million
10. Cameras.com, $1.5 million

Adword terms are probably more relevant.

2 years from now all these crap phones will be sitting in the landfill, along with all the other pointless fad products. The old folks who bought their jitterbugs will probably still have them in ten years.

They forgot loans.com went for $3 million bought by Bank of America.

How can I get a web site????

This is mostly thanks to jerks who invested hundred in random domain names in the late 90s-early 00s. They bought up millions of domain names in hopes to sell them. Its so irritating to try and purchase a domain name, only to find that all 5 of your choices are taken up by some jerk who HAS NO SITE, its parked and for sale. Ive actually waited on a couple to expire. Theres a slim chance that they wont get renewed, but I did pick up 2 domain names that did, and I got them for $9.... ...a opposed to several hundreds that these jerks wanted. domain names are not real estate, they are not investment properties. I think the reason they want so much for them is to pay for all the ones that did sell that they sat on. Ive had several offers on one of my sites, problem is, its actually a site, not just a domain name, which is only what they wanted.

Hey Niki, some jerk took the names you wanted and slapped a parked page. What multi-million dollar business did you create with the domain you bought you Moron?
ChrisMar 10th 2009 5:48PM
Business.com went for $7 or $8 mill a few years back. Story was, an english guy had bought it for $140k and sold it to a California company for the $7 or $8 million!!

Theres a lot more expensive websites out there, like poker.com and casino.com. Both went for millions.
Recentpoker.com and sex.com also went for a few million last year
you guys need to do some more research before the next article

I don't think you have an good list because there are many other domains more valuable than $9.99 million.

The first domain in my mind when I see the title is google must be in it. To my astonished, it doesn't in while others. It remind me of my domain http://www.copy-dvd.org, though has a - in it but also cost me much money to buy it

Most of the sold domain names are dot com. But there is few "not .com" domain names which break the record, for example bank.ht was sold for USD 1.4 million, inn.im for USD 1.8 million and motorcycle.se for USD 1.1 million
