Country domain names are quite valuable, and when they change hands, they can often command well into the six or seven figures, depending on the country. According to a report in North.Wales, the Wales.com domain name was acquired by the Welsh government for just £100,000 in March of 2008. The information was reportedly acquired via a Freedom of Information request. Wales.com is a website that is operated by the government of Wales, and it has information for tourists, businesses, and locals who live in Wales.
