Domain Movers: WWDC.com, PushPull.com + More

Welcome! This is Domain Movers. We keep track of corporate domain name transactions and report the early findings to you. This is a very small sample of activity we detected over the past 24 hours.

Apple Inc. WERE the buyers of WWDC.com, which I had mentioned sold in a February 17, 2017 Domain Movers article. Whois information has now switched from generic data to display Apple Inc. as the owners. The next Worldwide Developers Conference (simply known as WWDC) is June 5, 2017. The domain name does not resolve yet but was set to Apple name servers, so I would expect it to at least redirect to Apple’s dedicated page for WWDC shortly.

DontLookBack.com has been acquired by a currently unknown MarkMonitor client. The domain has been registered since 1999 and was owned by Nuanced Domains prior. The domain moved into privacy protection in early March 2017 and has since transferred into corporate brand protection service MarkMonitor.

ABC/Disney were the buyers of FlamingoCrossing.com ($2,595), a domain I mentioned yesterday but didn’t know the buyer. They also acquired FlamingoCrossings.com via Afternic from NameStore.com. Flamingo Crossings LLC is a Walt Disney Company

Taksy Corp has acquired its exact match .com domain name and acquired Taksy.com, which has been registered since 2012. The domain was owned by HugeDomains prior and I couldn’t find an exact price but was around $1,995, which they got a great deal!

VF Services Inc (The North Face, Vans, Timberland, Lee, Wrnagler, Nautica) a MarkMonitor client, allowed 8TZ.com to simply expire and the domain name was grabbed on the drop by DropCatch.com. Similar domains hold a wholesale value of lower $x,xxx

Church & Dwight Co., Inc. has taken ownership of NoStick.net, a domain name that came out of privacy protection at GoDaddy and transferred into MarkMonitor. It doesn’t appear that they owned this domain name prior, nor does it appear they currently own NoStick.com which is owned by Debsy International of France.

E Entertainment Television, LLC has taken ownership of PeoplesChoiceAwards.com, a domain name that was owned by The Procter & Gamble Company prior. The domain name is redirecting to PeoplesChoice.com

Warehouse.com which is owned by CDW has transferred out of Network Solutions and into brand protection service MarkMonitor. This appears to be a portfolio movement over to MarkMonitor as CDW.com also moved over in early May 2017. Smart move! The company owns a little over 200 domain names.
