Pay attention if you get an offer to buy a domain with “villa” in it.
If someone contacts you about buying your villa.tld or villas.tld domain name, you might want to do some digging.
A Mark Monitor client appears to be on a quest to buy up some of these domains.
On July 6 the company’s “privacy” service DNStinations became the owner of Villa.me.
The company also recently hand registered villa.am and villa.sh.
It also acquired the domain name Villas.biz (plural).
It doesn’t look like Villa.com or Villas.com have changed hands recently. Both have whois privacy, but I suspect they’re owned by the same company as they’re at the same registrar, both are parked at Bodis, and the historical whois points to the same domain investor.
Donuts has applied for the top level domain .villas.
It will be interesting to see who is behind the recent acquisitions.
.villas …. waste of money.
Perhaps it’s some sort of VILLAin 😀
(sorry, I had to)
Why are you out to inflate the price. It would have been better if you just face your business and we face ours also.
It looks like somebody (MarkMonitor) bought villas.com.ar on July 2.
Interesting. Someone hit me up for Villas dot cc a few weeks ago. I think they offered 1k.
Interesting, thanks for sharing!
We own Villament(s).com / .in – it’s what companies use locally to signify a hybrid between villas and apartments. Think of townhouses… in a gated community.
With the shortage of space, maybe that’s what people will have going forward instead of bungalows / homes.
This will be something interesting to follow as I have quite a few good villa names.
No villa names here…but a coupla’ lofts.
Hmmm. Interesting but my villas are not for sale.

The same person just picked up:
villa.co.za
villa.sc
Will this turn to be some worlwide “brand” on such generic word?
More registrations:
villa.co.ck
villa.pu
villas.pu
villas.pn
villa.za.com also registered
More:
villa.com.ng
villa.com.ru
villa.mn
villas.com.ng
+ villa.cc
booking.com
the culprit:)
I heard that from someone else. Do you have any proof you can send me?
