According to a recent Whois update tracked by the DomainTools Registrant Monitor, Google has acquired the Streams.com domain name. Prior to this most recent Whois change, the domain name had been registered to DNStination Inc., the privacy proxy service operated by MarkMonitor.
Jamie Zoch tweeted about the change of registrant earlier this year, and he speculated that Google might have been the buyer behind the purchase because of the nameserver settings:
Streams(.)com which was acquired in October 2017 by an unknown MarkMonitor client has set Name Servers to GoogleDomains… so owner may be revealed soon and may be Google. #streams #ai #health https://t.co/oeL3x3ZvAJ

With the latest Whois update, the domain name acquisition has been confirmed.
At the time of publication, Streams.com does not resolve to a working website. The registrant change could indicate the company is planning to launch something on Streams.com or otherwise use the domain name for something else in the near future. Perhaps it could even be related to the company’s recent Stadia news. It may also be nothing more than a housekeeping matter and not indicate anything is coming soon.
Whatever the case may be, Streams.com is a great domain name and it will be neat to see how Google uses it.
It’s all about streaming everything now.
Hoping to sell StreamOptions.com and StreamOption.com someday.
Hope you do well with them.
Thanks
Term is maybe Streaming Options
I agree … the grammatically correct term is Streaming Options, not Stream Options,
unless of course you are actually streaming “options” (huh?)
The grammatically correct term/domain StreamingOptions.com is listed for sale at $1,288.
The grammatically incorrect term/domain StreamOptions.com is listed for sale at $48,888.
StreamingOptions.com is only $1288 for a reason.
I’m confident all bad reasons.
And I mean bad as in wrong.
What do these terms mean exactly “stream options”??
Mark it takes courage and generosity to do the right thing when you know it will almost certainly not go unpunished.
I usually don’t like to say anything bad about people’s domains except in rare cases if I believe there is a compelling reason.
Both those “stream” domain suck. Yes, there are Google results, and I’ve learned many times over it doesn’t always mean a domain is good.
Those are very awkward.
“Streaming options” is the best of the three, but even that is not a good domain.
Sorry, but it’s reality. I’ve let far better ones than that expire and go, including two and even occasionally a one worder.
And who said .com was dead, Nice buy Google, using that Duck money
Not sure if it’s a verb with “s” on the end.
There’s YT channel I subscribe to. Occasionally a channel will do a live stream. I was just on a live scream for this particular one, just now. So, no surprise they would get this domain. They may turn it into something big, similar to YT.
StreamingOptions.com would be the better choice.
I agree 100%. The other two actually suck, and instead of keeping quiet, I will now do Mark the good deed of telling him even though it will almost certainly not go unpunished.
During live streams, people make donations. I’ll bet Google takes a cut of the donations. The donations are called “super chats” and appear.
these stream related domains sales-price sweet spot is around 20k USD， but i’m sure streams.com was acquired in 6-figure at least.
Why would it have sold for that?What does “streams” even mean, never heard the word used with an s on the end.
Google wants to take on Twitch with their new platform… we know how Google is with their projects, but with that big hype around Stadia, now Streams.com acquisition, maybe they focus a bit on it instead of just making a subpar system that will crumble like Google+.
