As a UFC commentator and host of one of the most popular podcasts in the World, Joe Rogan has amassed an incredibly large fan base. With more than two million Instagram followers and over three million Twitter followers, Joe has become one of the most well-known voices in the United States.
Even with Joe's ever increasing popularity, he wasn't able to secure the domain name JoeRogan.com since it was being actively used by an Idaho realtor. This has now changed.
We found out about this change of registrants thanks to NamePros regular Jonny Downes (@iAchilles). We were also able to discover that negotiations between buyer and seller had been ongoing "for some time", but they concluded recently when the domain moved into WHOIS privacy at GoDaddy. Around the same time, the domain started forwarding to JoeRogan.net, Joe's established website.
The domain's former owner was a realtor called Joe Rogan who had used the domain name for many years to host his business website, but it seems that the two parties came to terms recently on a sale.
Colour commentator and stand-up comedian Joe Rogan has presented a podcast called The Joe Rogan Experience since 2009 and has featured guests such as Ronda Rousey, Jay Leno and Guy Richie. In October 2015, the podcast received over sixteen million downloads per month and is currently the eleventh most popular podcast on the iTunes chart.
Joe has owned and operated JoeRogan.net for over a decade, with the domain currently boasting an Alexa ranking of just over four thousand in the USA. It's a strong possibility that Joe will permanently switch to JoeRogan.com in the near future.
Unfortunately, it looks like the terms of the deal for JoeRogan.com will remain private, with both parties offering no comment on the sale. There are very few public details available for domain sales of this type, with the only other in recent memory being RandPaul.com, which was acquired by US Senator Rand Paul for $100,980 in 2015. Could this have been a six-figure sale?
