Welcome to today’s Domain Movers, where DotWeekly keeps track of corporate domain name transactions as they happen and report the findings to you.
Today’s list isn’t the biggest but it still contains interesting information.
DXC.com has been acquired by a currently unknown MarkMonitor client. The domain name was for sale on Uniregistry and has since transferred to MarkMonitor under the generic whois data DNStination Inc. The domain was owned by Six Red Dice, Sam Dennis. It seem fairly rare these days to see a 3 letter .com sale that isn’t Chinese market related.
Unilever PLC registered the domain name IcyLock.com as well as Icy-Lock.com. The company owns over 7,000 domain names currently.
Leaf Group (formally Demand Media) were the buyers of Sapling.com from GoDaddy’s NameFind back in August 2016 and have launched a money related website behind the new brand name. I highlighted the domain name back in June 2015 on DotWeekly with saying: Sapling.com | $20,000 | $13,000 | A baby tree, starting to grow into something strong with multipurpose. Super strong, clear, easy spelling term for a brand at a fair price!
Tucows has sold the domain name Collison.com and used Escrow.com for the transaction. The buyers are currently unknown as whois has yet to update.
TexasInc.com has been acquired by a currently unknown CSC Corporate Domains client. The domain was owned by GoDaddy and part of its NameFind division. GoDaddy also sold NaturesMiracle.com to a Brandon Dodge according to whois records. United Pet Group, Inc. offers a pretty popular pet brand of products under Natures Miracle but they own and use the hyphen version of the domain Natures-Miracle.com. Fairly big fail IMO by United Pet Group not to secure this domain when it was for sale if Brandon is not connected to the company.
NBCUniversal Media, LLC registered the domain name BiggerFatterLiar.com, which may be a sequel to the 2002 move Big Fat Liar? I’m sure many could find a lot of uses for the domain.
Strain.com has moved into escrow and appears to have been sold by Tucows. The domain is currently redirecting to Twitter.com/strain which is currently private. From the cannabis market to health, it’s a great brand name!
Whirlpool registered a bunch of domain names that start with “Build With+Brand Name” like BuildWithWhirlpool.com and BuildWithAmana.com and BuildWithMaytag.com. They also registered many with Built With + Brand Name like BuiltWithMaytag.com. They also registered WhirlpoolBuilder.com and WhirlpoolPro.com
The spelling seemed off for Collison.com, I guess it is a surname
