Company domain movers are domain name that were registered, purchased or simply moving by large companies. There can also be information relating to company purchases, new product releases, brand launches and more in these articles, which often can lead to you seeing the information first. With that being said, you can view all of these articles using the DotWeekly Discoveries category if this is your first time seeing this article.
Here we go:
DNStination Inc. (MarkMonitor)
Registered the domain name NowIsMyMoment.com likely on behalf of a client. Although a four word domain name, it is catchy, makes sense and will be a nice tag line for a likely ad campaign.
Soft Card?
Another unknown MarkMonitor client and a large set of domains. A lot of “Soft Card” domains were registered, like GetSoftCard.com, GoSoftCard.com, PayWithSc.com,
SaveWithSoftCard.com, SCMobileWallet.com, SoftCardInnovationForum.com, SoftCardLawsuit.com, SoftCardMobileWalletClassAction.com? SoftCardMobile.com, SoftCardOffers.com,
SoftCardOffersSucks.com, SoftCardMobileCommercePlatform.com plus more.
It is hard to tell if the domain SoftCard.com is owned by the MarkMonitor Client, but the domain appears to have a fair amount of activity via whois records as of late. This is an
indication that something is happening with the domain name… like a transfer is taking place or somebody for some reason keeps doing whois searches for the domain.
PerkinElmer, Inc.
Very likely has acquired Airbase Systems Ltd, which was a start up.
MyAirbase.com had some movement and something was up with the domain. From what I can tell, the domain was actually registered by a Erich Norris [email protected] in 2005 but the
domain moved to privacy protection and has remained this was since being registered. The domain moved from several registrars like Melbourne IT, to eNom and then to GoDaddy.
MyAirbase.com had a website on it but the domain started forwarding to http://elm.perkinelmer.com/ This Ā SEC filling shows Airbase Systems LTD as a subsidiary of PerkinElmer Inc.
This article shows the domain used was MyAirbase.com and the other connection is PM-25.net, which move DNS with MyAirbase.com, displays Co-Founder Raviv Yatom as the
registrant. Here is a March 26, 2012 article about the product / start-up.
Bayer AG
Registered the domain name HowIsItWorking.com . Nice one, I like it and clearly it depends on how they use it, but it’s a domain that will directly connet to the customer and should result
in some nice feedback. Good job Bayer on this domain registration!
Twitter Inc.
Has registered two domain names and those are: TwitterDigits.com and TwitterGrip.com . Hard to say at this point what these were registered for, but they likely are pointing at something.
Pepsi
Registered the domain name SweetWithTheBest.com and two typo related domains, SweatWithTheBest.com and SwaetWithTheBest.com
Jerrold holdings LTD
Registered the domain name CommonSenseLending.net on 7/31/2014 and now they have registered CommonSenseLending.org on 8/1/2014. HugeDomains owns the .com, at least for now…
Gilead Sciences Inc.
Registered the domain name Harvone.com along with the .net/.org/.info domains.
Visa International Service Association
Visa has revealed that they were behind the registration of CheerAsOne.com . The domain held the generic whois data of DNStination, Inc., which often is used by MarkMonitor as a way of a
“privacy service”. The domain was registered in 2011. They also revealed JoinTheGlobalCheer.com is owned by them. The domain CheerAsOne.com forwards to http://usa.visa.com/index.jsp and JoinTheGlobalCheer.com doesn’t resolve.
The redirect got me looking into “Visa Checkout” as it was display upon the redirect.
PayWithvMe.com is another domain they revealed they own and a pretty large amount of “V Me” domains like VmePay.com, VmeRewards.com, VmeWallet.com . Visa does not own Vme.com, and they used V.me as the “main domain” for the V Me effort. V Me is currently not avialable in the US according to V.me and I also found this story, which states that V Me by Visa has been rebranded to “Visa Checkout”.
Information Resources, Inc
Registered the domain name AssortmentForGrowth.com
M-NET Intelprop Holdings Limited
Registered a large amount of domains relating to “edge”, like EdgeByMnet.com for an example. This may have to do with “Edge of Paradise” which is a show they released sometime back in May 2014.
Microsoft
Registered the domain names CloudMigLab.com and CloudMigLab.net as well as o365MigLab.com / .net
Sold Domains
Bestly.com
Podly.com
Both of those domains sold via Afternic.

Before I wrote about Sway, I Googled “Microsoft Sway” in quotes like that and it had 0 results. I just checked again now, the total is 3,420 results. That is in about 24 hours.
