Hallow.com tops Uniregistry’s latest sales list.
Uniregistry reported its top public sales for the week and there are several good end user purchases.
The top sale is Hallow.com for $70,000. Whois shows that the buyer is Hallow, Inc., a Michigan company that uses Hallow.app to promote a meditation app for Catholics.
1. hallow.com $70,000 – A Catholic meditation app that uses the domain name Hallow.app. I’m not sure if it’s supposed to be pronounced like “hallowed be thy name” or halo, like an angel’s halo.
2. laceworks.com $21,000 – The Whois is private and it still resolves to a for sale page.
3. aitel.com $20,888 – The buyer is in British Columbia, Canada. Other than that, I can’t figure out who it is.
4. impermanent.com $19,000 – Uniregistry privacy, still resolves to for sale page.
5. quor.com $15,000 – GoDaddy privacy, resolves to for sale page.

7. rainbowsocks.com $12,000 – The buyer is German according to Whois.
8. enbio.com $10,000 – Based on Whois, it seems to be Swiss medical device company Enbio. It uses the domain Enbio-Group.com, so this is a nice upgrade.

Jovenet Consulting says
Andrew, they paid $70,000 to redirect the “.com” to a “.app”: why do you call this an upgrade? I find it expensive for a redirection but I understand the move.
Snoopy says
Companies usually do that whilst the figure out the SEO implications of switching. No company would willingly choose to stay on the .app long term.
Ethan says
Not all companies switch from their original TLDs.
Mondia, which uses .io, acquired the .com this June. And it still continue to use the .io.
In my opinion, even if Hallow.app switches to Hallow.com, the use of the word “upgrade” in this case is still subjective and controversial because it implies that non-.com TLDs are inferior and can easily offend a certain people and TLD operators. I personally would avoid using that word in these cases.
Snoopy says
Too soon, it could take 6-12 months before a company actually switches. There is significant SEO risk in making the change and it takes a lot of planning.
Russian Troll says
Catholic meditation using an app. Okay.
