Domain Sales

I noticed another domain name has been sold by Anything.com, a company that operates a portfolio of valuable domain names. Snappy.com, which had been registered to Anything.com for many years, transferred from Tucows to GoDaddy. The domain name is currently registered under Whois privacy, but it is now forwarding to a company called Snappy that operates on MeetSnappy.com. The sale was confirmed to me by a representative of the company, and I was told the sale price was $415,000.

The buyer of Snappy.com was represented by GoDaddy and its Domain Buy Service. Larry Fischer from GetYourDomain.com and DomainsForSale.com represented Anything.com on this deal.

This morning in my DomainTools Domain Monitor alert email, I saw a change in status for Woo.com. The domain name had been registered at Network Solutions under Whois privacy, and the domain name status changed. Woo.com is still registered at Network Solutions, but instead of Whois privacy, the domain name registrant information shows “REDACTED FOR PRIVACY (DT),” likely due to California privacy laws.

When I visited Woo.com this morning, I was forwarded to WooCommerce.com. The domain name had previously been registered to someone whose last name was Woo. WooCommerce is an open-source ecommerce plugin for WordPress. WooCommerce was acquired by Automattic, the development company that operates the WordPress platform.
