sales CancerInsurance.com Sells For A Multi-Million Dollar Fee

Spaceship Spaceship
In a recent tweet, investor George Kirikos revealed that he has found another multi-million dollar domain name sale that was recently revealed in an SEC filing.

The paperwork indicates that the domain name CancerInsurance.com was acquired in a seven-figure deal. The SEC filing shows that the domain was bought by a company called Tranzact in a $3.1 million deal that included $1.1 million in cash. Their official website says that Tranzact is a premier marketplace for the distribution of direct-to-consumer insurance products.

In a subsequent tweet, George reported that the SEC filing went on to say, "the maximum amount of the contingent consideration is $6.8 million." This means that the domain name transaction could ultimately be valued at $7.9 million.

Whilst the SEC filing discloses the fact that the price paid was $3.1 million for the domain name, it also mentions other intangible assets are included. I'm not an expert on SEC filings, but I think this could mean that the entire website was included in the price. According to ScreenShots.com, the domain name has hosted the same website since at least December 2013.

Previously, the domain name was under WHOIS privacy protection. The most recent public WHOIS record shows Internet entrepreneur Louis Spagnuolo as the registrant.

According to Google's Keyword Planner, the term Cancer Insurance gets 2,900 searches per month globally. At the time of publication, Estibot values the domain at $73,000.

Relax guys. This was not just a domain sale. Cary had a substantial insurance business running on cancerinsurance.com. He had lots of insurance agents contracted through his organization as well. I myself was one of them.;) He had direct contracts with most of the major insurance companies offering cancer insurance and was selling their insurance policies in every state through the website.

I think most of the old timesrare just reminded that they have insurance domains or they dropped some. Its the freshers that need to be reminded that that this is not solely a domain sale. so should therefore not see it as one and go on a reg campaign for insurance names. Reg with caution is my 2 cents.

almost all these unexpected multi-million dollar sales seem to be business sales which include the domain, exceptions are domains like diamonds.com, sex.com ect.

It's not all bleak as they say it is. Seems like diarrheainsurance.com has some hope after all....

Hmmm...

I own CancerInsurence.com

Hmmm...

My beloved grandmother died of cancer.

I would like to donate to CancerInsurance.com my mispelled domain name, CancerInsurence.com, to help cancer patients find quality insurance.

I'm thinking of a redirect with my address to theirs, if cancer patients misspell the web address.

Anyone know how I can directly contact the administrator of CancerInsurance.com to facilitate this transfer?

Thanks!

Amazing story. Really lends fresh perspective on how much domains are worth to the highest best user. And reinforces my sense that insurance-related dot coms are domainer gold.

was this a pure domain sale or a website/business sale?

Appears to be a business that sold and the domain was simply part of the sale so all the guys who rushed out to buy similar names will be dropping them next year, or grace deleting if they are smart.

We bought this name in Chinese pinyin to go along with the other pinyin names we have trouble pronouncing. We'll see what happens after we "age" it for a few years. As always a great post so thank you.
Terrible stats but noted cancer kills circa 1m yearly in China not sure how accurate the stats would be from any census outside the main populated areas and not sure what the Baidu search returns are ? In today's AI deep search I do not think aged domains count for anything. Why did you not cover the characters whilst the opportunity was open, although I have made the same error at times.

@kwo why would you possibly dislike my comment that we bought this name in pinyin?

Hi actually it wasn't a mistake at all-we have no interest in buying the characters for any name we own but thank you for the reply.

Thank you for not covering the reg in Chinese, was also surprised when the Spanish/ Hispanic version was free.

It's BS like you just posted as to why we don't post many of the names we buy here on NP.

My comment was not abusive. My comment was simple, honest and unworthy of the reply.

Only one person recognized on here that this was not a domain sale. This was a full business and an insurance business was sold on that domain name along with cancerplans .com being one of his competitors (former) I congratulate him on a wonderful sale.
