Poll: What’s the Most Valuable Sports Team Domain Name?

Professional sports teams in the NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL own some great domain names. I have tracked the domain names owned by teams in the major professional US sports leagues. The list doesn’t change very often, although there are quite a few domain names that are for sale (such as Bruins.com).

In looking at the domain names owned by professional sports teams, a handful stand out to me as exceptional domain names that could be used for more than just the sports teams. I thought I would post a poll to see what you guys think is the most valuable domain name owned by a professional sports team, not counting its value to the team.

For the poll below, I chose what I think are the top 5 most valuable domain names and included an “other” category for those who think something else is more valuable. If you choose other, feel free to share which name you think is most valuable.

Whois privacy shields a domain registrant’s contact information from public view. When private Whois is enabled on a domain name, it can be more challenging – if not impossible – to track down a domain name registrant to buy the domain name. There is no way to see who registered a domain name that has private Whois records short of litigation or a UDRP filing.

That being said, there are several ways I have had success tracking down domain registrants who utilize Whois privacy proxy services. Here are some of the tactics that can be used to learn who owns a domain name that is privately registered:

My custom 2021 domain industry Pan-Mass Challenge cycling jersey has been finalized. Since I revealed the jersey design a week ago, four additional industry sponsors (DNGeek, Internet.bs, ODYS Global, and Premium Traffic Ltd.) stepped forward and made a donation to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute via my PMC fundraiser.

Two of the donations are currently pending, but once they are processed, this year’s domain industry bike jersey will raise $11,000 in funds for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Awesome! My fundraising goal will also be met, although I will still encourage friends and colleagues to support DFCI and its cancer defying mission.
