Due to non-disclosure requests on both sides, we unfortunately cannot publish buyer or final selling price. We can tell you that, as predicted, DomainName.com name, site and registrar were sold today in a private auction.
We can also tell you new owner will prosper and thrive, we have no doubt whatsoever.
Finally, it dovetails nicely with our next innovation, to be unveiled in a couple weeks with typical DC promotion and flair.
We are looking for top-level domains for this event and are offering 8% commission on a 60 day contract. Don’t miss this chance, it is already and will be huge. Something new and fresh. Stay tuned.
Thanks to all who took part and bid, better luck next time!
Send your TOP 20 entries WITH prices to mike@domainconsultant.com for consideration.

In what I imagine will become a head slapper for many of the many participants, the Buy It Now period for DomainName.com expired without any takers – despite the fact it slowly shrunk up to the end.
But with less than two days to go before the event and a tremendous amount of qualified interest, the BIN was expired at midnight last night as originally planned. We thank everyone who inquired and encourage you to take part in the auction of the year. But hurry, time is running out.
Auction will take place on Tuesday, August 31st – any interested parties should contact mike@domainconsultant.com soon as registration opens tomorrow.
Good luck!

Again, this is a compilation of all the relevant data interested buyers have been asking for since we announced the auction. We hope it will answer most of the questions floating around in the ether.
Prospectus is available to pre-qualified bidders only, please contact mike@domainconsultant.com for a copy.
Only a few more days…
Inquiries and interest have kept us busy almost non-stop since we posted the coming auction for DomainName.com. Please check our original and updated story, we have added details based on the questions we received.
More about this one-time chance:
- Auction closes on 8/31/2010 at 2pm CST.
- Auction fee/ID Verification: $39.95
- Fee covers future private DC auctions for a year
- Down payment (20%) due within seven (7) days of auction close. Remainder due within thirty (30) days unless financed.
- Contact us about financing before bidding.
- BIN price will shrink the closer auction gets to 8/31.
Of all the auctions we’ve held, this name has received, by far, the most BIN inquiries. And why not? It’s a category killer with big revenue, huge upside potential and even resale value to boot. All that for about 6x.
This is a one time opp that will be gone in about ten days.
Contact mike@domainconsultant.com for more info or to be considered for the event.
DomainConsultant.com is proud to announce that it is holding a private auction for perhaps the best ’name’ in the ‘domain’ industry: DomainName.com - a singular property that is also a highly profitable, low-maintenance registrar.
Here are some auction/site highlights:
1. Bidding will close on 8/31 at a private location online.
2. Starting bid AND reserve of $1m – one bid takes it home.
3. Averages roughly $10,000-$12,000/month NET including over $13,000 in July 2010.
4. 2,000-3,000 targeted uniques per day.
5. Winner receives full site including 8,000+ existing domain registrations at $29.95/year.
6. Financing is available : six months with 20% down/5% interest.
7. Buy it Now price
8. Instant Market Share (IMS) - This name puts you right in the middle of the game…instantly.
9. Site is accredited. Accreditation included.
10. Currently using Archetopia’s Registrar Information Processing Environment (RIPE) software; will include license through December 2011; maintenance is $5K/yr.
Seller is motivated by other projects and thus has brought the price down to an amazing level – this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to grab a nice, big chuck of the domain registration game. We believe site revenue could easily be doubled, even tripled with a few simple changes, additions and updates. Besides, you can finance it with $200k down.
Yet, the truth is that through all the up and down cycles of parking and the comings and goings of extensions, there has been one sub-group that has consistently made money (and thrived) : registrars. This is your chance to jump right into the middle of that game, grab that stability, make it grow and yes, thrive like the rest – this name practically insures it.
So if you find yourself struggling with parking revenue or are looking to squelch competitors and add traffic or are simply seeking a serious and solid investment at a good multiple, this domain name is speaking to you now. Act.
Interested parties should contact mike@domainconsultant.com to be considered for the event. Please include your info, some purchase history/validation and relative interest level. Participants will be pre-screened to insure auction quality.
This is likely the first and last time this name will be available. Don’t miss out.
A federal court threw the future of Net neutrality into doubt when it ruled in favor of Comcast in a far-reaching decision that could have implications for consumers, the FCC, domainers, publishers and the web as a whole.
The court ruled that the FCC lacked the authority to force all providers to give equal treatment to traffic flowing over their networks. The case, involving Comcasts attempt to block customers from the popular file-sharing program BitTorrent, may also has serious implications for the agency’s national broadband initiative unveiled last month.
Yet it may not be as difficult to overcome as it first seems because part of the issue is that the FCC classifies broadband as a lightly regulated service. So one answer would be to reclassify under the more stringent ‘telecommunications’ service heading.
Stay tuned, the Administration has, fortunately, made the Internet a top priority in terms of security, coverage and availability so I see no reason why that would change going forward. This fight will continue and evolve.
