A business using a .io domain pays a lot to get the matching .com.
Sedo had a good week for end user domain sales, including Invest.ae for $75,000. That’s the second-highest public sale ever reported for the UAE’s .ae country code domain, second only to TV.ae for $95,000 in 2015.
The second-highest sale was a .com match sold to a company that uses a .io domain.
Here’s a list of end user domain name sales that just completed at Sedo. You can view previous lists like this here.
Invest.ae $75,000 – This is a site about investing in the UAE. It seems to be funded by either the government or government-adjacent entities.
Deity.com $60,000 – E-commerce company Deity, which uses the domain Deity.io, bought the matching .com. I’d argue it got a good deal, although I wonder how many people misspell this name. The company owns Diety.io but I don’t think it owns Diety .com.
Seedscout.com $20,000 – Seedscout helps people find very early stage startup investments.
PrivaGo.com $15,499 – PrivaGo is a privacy-centric search engine.
