Welcome to Domain Movers, a series on DotWeekly that puts a pulse on what companies are buying, registering and selling related to domain names. I have not blogged in a long time and have been tweeting my findings as of late, but thought I would share a few from time to time here.
Bauer Hockey, Inc. has acquired Neuroshield.com from HugeDomains for about $2,495. This appears to be a new helmet/brand by the looks of it.
ATTO Technology, Inc. of Amherst, New York has acquired its exact match domain name ATTO.com . The domain name was owned by Becton Dickinson and Company (owners of BD.com) from when they acquired Atto Biosciences, Inc. back in 2004.
Sidi Sport srl which offers cycling shoes and clothing acquired Sidi.com near the end of 2015 from Best Web Limited. The domain was parked at Sedo at the time of the sale. They redirect the .com to Sidi.it
Disney registered the domain name DragonSpotting.com
Thomsen Trampedach GmbH has purchased the domain name inscale.net from BuyDomains. The domain was reported sold in 2013 for $4,500 via Afternic but whois data showed BuyDomains as the owners still until recently, so they may have actually purchased this domain back in 2013 and are just now revealing they did.
Microsoft corporation has taken ownership of the domain name Havok.com. This domain was owned by Intel and was tied to the 3D physics gaming tool, which Microsoft acquired from Intel in late 2015.
Viacom International Inc. has acquired the domain name SweetVicious.com from HugeDomains and is redirecting the domain name to a show coming out in the fall of 2016: http://www.mtv.com/shows/sweet-vicious The domain name had a buy now price of $2,895
A few hand registrations by companies: Microsoft registered SkypeElite.com/net, Walmart registered TecBetter.com to go along with TechBetter.com that it acquired from its past owner in June/2016. Amazon registered AmazonWorkTalk.com, Google registered several domains relating to ConnectLocalGuides.com and PublishProxy.com, Playdots, Inc registered ElevatedCanvas.com and ElevatedCanvases.com.
Real Freedom Inc. acquired EMD RealFreedom.com from GoDaddy for an undisclosed amount.
ImmersaCAD has acquired the domain name vCad.com from GoDaddy. This was a five figure deal.
