Rise of .io domains:

The reason .io domains are so valuable is because companies that use .io domains are known as being great at what they do. This blog post explains it well:

“These new .io sites are almost artisanal in nature – small, well crafted and functional. It’s like a TLD for techies with taste.”

They are also short, sound good, and .io domains perform well in Google’s search results. The reason for this is because they’ve been added to the geotargetable domains list.

Microsoft bought Doc.io for $24,600, Elasticsearch just bought es.io for $30,000, cloud.io sold for $45,000 on Flippa, music.io sold on Flippa a couple weeks ago for $20,000, traffic.io sold on Flippa last week for $14,000, and fd.io, db.io, sports.io, mega.io, groups.io, etc.. recently sold for $10k+.

Domain Name Holdings also reported that they sold a .io domain in Q2 of 2015 for 6-figures.

A lot of the tech startups that use .io domains are now very successful businesses, further reinforcing the idea that companies that use .io domains are “in the know” and part of the sophisticated tech crowd.

Check out just some of these examples:

Iguaz.io lands $15M Series A
Tuition.io and Test.io each raised $5M a couple of weeks ago
Google acquired spider.io
Easel.io was acquired by github last year
Keen IO just raised $11.3 million
Nitrous.io just closed a $6.65 million Series A round
Ginger.io raised $6.5 million
Tuition.io raised $6 million and manages over $1 billion in student loans
Intercom raised $6 million
Greenhouse raise $2.7 million
kontakt.io raised $2 million
Luma.io acquired by Instagram
Rackspace acquires Exceptional.io
And many more
But it’s not only startups that use .io domains. Google, Microsoft and Yahoo are also buying .io domains.

Microsoft snapped up Doc.io for $24,600. Google owns Coupons.io, Yahoo owns Player.io, and Disney owns go.io, amongst others.

Even the US government is happy to use .io domains. And two US Presidential candidates are using .io domains – Hillary Clinton uses hrc.io and Mark Rubio uses rub.io!

Blog posts have been written on the new-found popularity of .io domains. Such as this post: The Rise of .io Domain Names for APIs.

Wikipedia also notes: “.io domains are popular with new startup companies.”

Check out this list of all of the amazing companies built with .io domains.
