Sales

The top sale for the keyword cube is a tie between TheCube.co.uk and TheCube.co, both purchased in May of 2006 for $40,919. TheCube.co.uk was sold again in 2011 for a big loss. The 2011 sale only brought in $22,000. The domain is now developed by the Birmingham Development Company Limited. TheCube.co redirects to Cunjo.com and that domain does not resolve.

The next biggest sale is MicroCube.com for $40,000, this name was purchased in March of 2016.

I wanted to take a look in this report at a name that is not one of the top 20 keywords but has had some decent sales. You may be able to find some names that don't go as high in auction as cloud or tech.Some Cube related domains have even sold for four figures in .biz and .info.

Michael Krell sold a nice cube related name in May on BrandBucket. CourseCube.com was sold for $2,495 and Michael told me he backordered the name back in December of 2015.

Usage:

Brad Mugford owns one of my favorite cube names as it partners with another favorite, data. DataCube.com is an excellent brand name in my opinion and that's what Brad uses for his domain sales website.

MCube.com is developed and owned by VMC Technologies.

GameCube.com was a product from Nintendo that has been retired, the domain forwards to Nintendo.com.
