Fluid.io Becomes 2nd Largest Publicly Reported .IO Sale

This afternoon, Joshua Schoen reported the $199,995 sale of Fluid.io. The domain name was sold at his BIN price via Afternic, according to a screenshot of the sale email he shared on X:

In looking at NameBio, this is the second largest .IO domain name sale reported publicly. Mint.io is the largest sale at $230,000. That domain name sold in 2021 via Park.io. There are several other .IO domain names that were sold in the low six figure range, according to NameBio. Once Ron Jackson records the sale in DNJournal, it will be just outside of the top 25 publicly reported domain name sales year to date.

Since the domain name was just sold, it is unclear who acquired it.

Congratulations to Josh on an exceptional sale. It’s nice to close a deal like this on a holiday week in the US that tends to be pretty quiet.

Notably, Josh also appears to own Fluid.com, as that domain name forwards to his LinkedIn profile.

NamesCon Global 2025 to be Held in Miami

The 2025 NamesCon Global conference will be held in Miami, Florida next year, according to an announcement from Soeren von Varchim. In addition to the location change, the conference will also be held later on in the year and will take place from November 5-6, 2025. I believe NamesCon is still the largest annual domain industry conference.

The conference will be held at the Ice Palace, an event space in Miami. I am not super familiar with Miami, so I can’t offer much insight on good hotel options in the vicinity of the conference venue.

According to the NamesCon website, a Standard Pass costs $299 for early registrants. This price remains in effect until March 28, 2025. The introductory Vendor Pass is $599. It, too, will increase on March 28th.

The conference will be held as industry companies are in the planning stages for the next round of gTLD applications. I expect that to be a big theme throughout the conference, particularly as it relates to larger industry companies.

The conference agenda will be posted at some point next year. For now, domain investors can add the event to their 2025 calendar.
