Spaceship Spaceship
According to DNJournal's chart of the top one hundred sales of 2017, there were six domains listed as selling for over $1 million. There's likely to be another seven-figure sale, which we are currently trying to verify. The domain in question is Explore.com, a name that was acquired by the TikiTour Group. Based on DomainIQ's WHOIS history tool, the name was acquired from the Future Media Architects portfolio in October 2017.

We are currently attempting to independently verify the sales price, but current reports suggest that the sales price was in the seven-figure range.

Here are this week's Top Topics.

I Sold CryptoCorp.com for $16,500

An investor that registered the CryptoCorp.com domain name in 2000 has just announced that they sold the domain this week for $16,500. The sale, which was made possible thanks to the NamePros marketplace, still represents an excellent return on investment based on original registration costs and the renewal fees since then.

Crypto domain names have been all the rage recently. Could this investor have sold this for more?
