Welcome! This is Domain Movers where we keep track of corporate domain name transactions and report the early findings to you. These transactions are often early indicators of domain name upgrades, new brands, products, services, advertising efforts and more.
As always, I couldn’t do the hours of daily research without the helpful tools from DomainTools.com and DomainIQ.com!
Here is a very small sampling of the latest corporate focused domain movements detected:
Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. acquired BossFiles.com from its past owner, adding to the 5,600+ other domain names they own.
H&M Hennes & Mauritz AB have acquired CoStores.com adding to the other 1,000 domain names they own, one of which is HM.com
Stonegate Pub Company Limited acquired BigNightOut.com from GoDaddy’s NameFind domain portfolio.
Dispatch, LLC acquired DispatchIt.com also from NameFind. They use DispatchWithUs.com currently and offer a delivery service.
GrowthPodcast.com has been acquired by Advanced Resource Integration UK LTD.
Otfx.com has been acquired by Otfx Co. Limited at domain name aftermarket service Sedo.
Pi Pay Col., Ltd has acquired PiPay.com, also at Sedo for $7,500. To note, PaPay.com just sold in an expired GoDaddy auction for $5,101.
Amazon Technologies registered a bunch of new domains (200+), almost all relating to AWS in some fashion.
FusionNews.com has been acquired by a currently unknown CSC Corporate Domains client.
PetFoundation.org has been acquired by a currently unknown CSC Corporate Domains client. The domain was registered in February 2017.
PartySupplies.com has been sold, with the transaction handled by Escrow.com. The domain moved into privacy protection at Fabulous.com.
Name Administration Inc. appears to have sold SurfacePro.com, as that domain moved into privacy protection. The domain has been registered since April 1997 and has been owned by Frank since around 2005. Microsoft would be a potential buyer for its Surface Pro. To note, the company already owns and uses Surface.com.
JSB.com has been listed for sale by Websense, Inc. by MarkMonitor. In general, any time I have inquired on a domain listed for sale by MarkMonitor, they hold end user prices respectably.
The Absolut Company AB wants you to MeetJohanna.com with its newly registered domain.
Dentons US LLP have acquired NextLaw.com. The domain dropped in January 2016 and was acquired by an individual.
Tarrant Capital IP, LLC (TPG.com) have acquired TSSP.com. The domain was using Uniregistry’s system prior.
Disney registered four new domain names, which included: Cars3Generations.com, DisneyGifting.com, GiveTheGiftOfDisney.com and LittleMoversMusic.com
Budget Rent A Car System, Inc. registered BudgetCertified.com adding to the 500+ other domain names they own.
Universal Music Operations Ltd have acquired Hrvy.com with the help of SafeNames. The domain name was for sale prior and owned by Nucom.
ZZap Ltd of UK have acquired its EMD, ZZap.com out of GoDaddy’s NameFind portfolio. The company currently uses ZZapOnline.co.uk.
Duomed NV has acquired its EMD Duomed.com at domain name aftermarket service Sedo for $5,000.
GetawayGuides AB have acquired Tigelle.com from BuyDomains for an undisclosed amount.
Comcast acquired New Global Telecom in 2010 and has taken ownership of NGT.com in whois records. The domain does not resolve.
