Although today is a holiday in the US and I pretty much took the weekend off to relax and get some things done, I was collecting some domain data from time to time and have a list of company domain movers from large companies. So, welcome to a holiday addition of DotWeekly Discoveries powered by DomainIQ.com .
World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc.
Likely purchased the domain name TotalDivas.com around June 2013 via GoDaddy Auctions as it appears the domain expired at that time.
WWE also appears to have used legal action to obtain (or is in the process of) for CrushClothing.com .
Smartwool Corporation
Registered the domain name RockOutWithYourSocksOut.com in July 2013 with CSC Corporate Domains and has transferred the domain to MarkMonitor. I have heard that term converted into something else that rhymes with sock!
Arrow Electronics, Inc
Has obtained the domain name TabletsComplete.com when it purchased the company Seneca Data in early August 2014. I’m sure more domains were involved, but this is one that I had seen for now.
Nintendo of America Inc.
Registered some domain names that matched the “new 3DS” they announced, which included NewNintendo3DS.com, NewNintendo3DSll.com and NewNintendo3DSXL.com . The domain names were registered the day (likely morning) of the announcement.
STARWOOD HOTELS AND RESORTS WORLDWIDE, INC.
Registered the domain name YourWorldRewards.com
Gucci America, Inc.
Appears to have purchased the domain name VerySparkling.com . The domian name was registered in 2012.
Disney Enterprises, Inc.
Which purchased Babble Media in November 2011 for about $40 Million has taken full ownership of the domain name Babble.com into its own Disney name.
General Mills
Has registered the domain name OurGameOurTime.com
Warner Bros. Records Inc.
Allowed the domain name EBBA.com to expire and the domain was grabbed on the drop by FBS Inc.
JPMorgan Chase & Co.
Appears to have sold the domain name Namc.com . A Gary McKiddy is shown as the owner now, of NTFN.com and is using the domain registrar CATALOG.COM, INC. I didn’t even know that Catalog.com was a registrar, but Catalog.com and WebHero.com appear to be connected.
Unknown
A currently unknown likely CSC Corporate Domains client purchased the domain name LeadTheCharge.com from HugeDomains.com . The domain was listed for $3,119 and was likely the sales price or at least around it.
Unknown
A likely large company is making a big play on the term GlobalMansion and or the reverse MansionGlobal. A lot of domains have been registered lately with the term.
First American / Fatco Holdings
Has purchased the domain name PropertyFlex.com from BuyDomains for an undisclosed amount.
GERARD LIGHTING GROUP PTY LTD
Has very likely purchased the domain name Ozuno.com from BrandBucket.com for about $3,595 . They also registered the .net domain Ozuno.net
eBay Inc.
Has purchased the domain name CommerceMarketing.com from BuyDomains.com / DirectDomains.com for about $1,195
Allergan, Inc
Has purchased the domain name GetACloserLook.com . The domain was likely purchased on or about May 12, 2014 from the last owner.
They also appear to have purchased MyMigraine.com for an undisclosed amount.
Autotrader.com
Used Kallard Group to help acquired the domain name TitleAndRegistration.com which Intrust Domains allowed to expire. Michael Akers / Kallard Group is CSC
SolarCity?
SolarBond.com was acquired by Marksmen, working with CSC Corporate Domains. SolarCity.com had recently registered the .net .us biz at all GoDaddy.
Microsoft Corporation
Has registered the domain name IdentityDemos.com and .net on 8/20/2014 and has loaded up the .com on IdentityDemos.com . This is not something normal for them to do, so it’s something to
watch.

Registered the domain name FromYourDoctorsOffice.com . Humana is an insurance company.
The Interpublic Group of Companies, Inc.
Registered the domain name MillionaireEnough.com
