Another week, another eight figure domain sale.
Hubspot acquired the domain name connect.com for $10 million last quarter. Elliot Silver noticed the domain acquisition in April, and the company disclosed the purchase price in an SEC filing that George Kirikos spotted.
The company currently forwards the domain to network.hubspot.com, which is used for a social network.
Hubspot co-founder and CTO Dharmesh Shah is a fan of good domain names. Earlier this year, he paid $100,000 for WordPlay.com for a Wordle-like game.
It’s the second eight-figure domain sale we’ve learned about in as many weeks. Last week, Escrow.com announced that it handled escrow for NFTs.com last $15 million. That domain sale is second only to voice.com at $30 million for all-time publicly announced domain sales.
Recession for at-large economy, but not for domains.
Connect*com was a stellar acquisition for Hubspot.
They purchased versatility and superior rank, might be seen as cheap by 2025.
If they are only using it as a redirect to a subdomain it would have no impact on ranking, so that part is not the least bit correct.
And, secondly, if they were running it as a separate site you need to consider data flow across third party sites in the modern ecosystem where entities like Apple & even Google are snuffing out that data flow. The ability to bolt on market share with secondary and tertiary unbranded sites is sort of going away due to the need to buy ads to get exposure for anything new and then you also have the lower lifetime value of the traffic flows when you split it across domains & can’t retarget or funnel user demand as well because your data is sharded across sites.
You just said a bunch of useless words mr sept dude lol
My condolences for your ignorance Nic.
Lies. That’s not the price. Stop inflating prices of domain names. This will surely kill the industry.
Could you be more specific?
They’re just trolling.
That’s a genuinely great domain that is definitely worth at least 8 figures. It’s good whoever/whatever sold it didn’t go below 8 which would have been a steal.
