Elsewhere, a domainer stumbles across one of the best geographical domain portfolios in existence, and George Kirikos uncovers yet another seven-figure domain sale.


What Do You Want to Know About Domain Names?

Dofo has quickly become the research tool of choice for many domain investors looking to research one or more domains or types of domains. The Dofo team routinely processes hundreds of gigabytes of data to produce its comprehensive site.

With all this data at hand, Dofo's founder, Macit Tuna, has given any investor the opportunity to ask questions about domain names based on the data that Dofo has collated. Your question could be related to anything from how many domains were registered in the past few days to the most popular keywords for domains registered in Canada.

The Story of Wisdom.com's Sale for $475,000

One of the fascinating aspects of the early Internet is the reason why some people registered domain names in the first place. While some registered domains for business, such as Apple.com, some just registered domains on a whim, or for personal reasons.

Here, an investor has shared a Reddit post in which the original owner of Wisdom.com shares the personal reason why they initially registered the domain, before ultimately selling it for $475,000. Today, Wisdom.com is owned by MicroStrategy, the company that sold Voice.com for $30 million.

In this discussion, an investor has asked other domainers to share details on their buying habits for 2020. Have you bought more or fewer domains this year? Have you sold more domains than usual, which is leaving you with more money to buy names with?
