It was the other way around. They purchased BlueDot to protect their brand. What doesn't make sense to you?

FYI --->Color+Dot.com is definitely not a crap domain...lots of brands are Blue Dot, Red Dot, Green Dot etc.

Imagine a blue dot .

Got it thanks for explaining

Actually .. "Blue Dot" has huge meaning behind it. Basically looking back from space, Earth is known as the "little blue dot". It is a massive massive brand, particularly since "Earth.com" would actually be too generic in my opinion (still an amazing domain, but it would get too lost in search for our planet).

Yeah, BlueDot.com is the premium domain out of the two (easily worth $33K), and if I were in charge of the company, I might look at a rebrand somewhere down the road.

But this isn't a strict typo, it's the true English version of their phonetic company name, and could be viewed as a potential brand upgrade in the future.

It would be like a company called SunniDay buying SunnyDay.com - it's a much preferable and more valuable domain and something that's nice to own, not only for type-ins but also if you ever plan to migrate to the stronger domain/brand.

Exactly, and the company name is BLU DOT at BLUDOT.COM and they bought BLUEDOT.COM as a potential brand upgrade and to keep it away from competitors.

www.bludot.com

If you go to BLUEDOT.COM you get the following:

I see where the problem is though, and the OP got it totally wrong.

Then why not correct your original post rather than leave it full of misinformation to confuse people?

I skimmed it, typed in the BLUEDOT.COM link and went from there, but not everyone is going to do that.
