Domain name portfolio acquired by Rook Media will be marketed by Igloo.
When Rook Media acquired DomainSponsor earlier this year, it also acquired Oversee.net’s large portfolio of domain names.
Domain brokerage Igloo will begin marketing many of these domain names shortly, Igloo and Rook announced today.
While not all domain names will be offered for sale, over 300,000 will be offered through Igloo’s brokers and a new online marketplace.
Oversee.net once owned about a million domain names, although that number was reduced significantly in recent years.
Many of these domain names have been listed on domain marketplaces before, but this is the first time there will be a dedicated marketplace for the domain names. It’s also the first time I’m aware of that the domains will be proactively marketed.
Many other large portfolio holders have marketplaces, even simple ones like YummyNames.com for Tucows’ domain names.
They used to have some sites listing their names before – even though I’m not sure if it included all of their names. The site had at least two names, one of them I believe was DomainCargo.com, the other one a four-letter domain that has slipped my mind at the moment.
