Last week, Tim Hargis shared with me Brett Farmiloe’s LinkedIn thread announcing that his company rebranded from Terkel to Featured. The company moved from the Terkel.io domain name to Featured.com. The upgrade was added to the list of companies that upgraded domain names, published on Embrace.com.

This morning, I was emailed a press release from Gerard Michael of DNPost.com. In it, he announced that he sold the Featured.com domain name. The sale price, which is subject to a non-disclosure agreement, is reportedly “in the mid six-figure range.” In addition, “an equity position in Terkel/Featured.com” was also reportedly included in the deal.

The press release I received is below:

With GoDaddy now offering LTO to some buyers and a roll-out to all buyers expected soon, IP attorney John Berryhill shared some commentary on Twitter regarding the risks for sellers based on the GoDaddy LTO Terms of Service (TOS):

GoDaddy announced it would allow sellers to give buyers the opportunity to choose a lease to own option for domain names listed for sale on its Afternic platform. The company gave sellers a lead time to implement the LTO option before offering it to customers searching to buy domain names.

Yesterday afternoon, the Afternic X / Twitter account shared that the LTO option is being rolled out to select buyers on GoDaddy’s website. I asked Paul Nicks, President of Domains at GoDaddy, if he can share how the LTO offer is presented to prospective buyers who search for a domain name.
