It looks like GoDaddy's NameFind portfolio has sold the two-letter domain name VT.com. According to DomainIQ, the deal took place in the past few weeks. The buyer of the name is Hostgator founder Brent Oxley, who has now added his second two-letter .COM name to his portfolio after reportedly acquiring RX.com for $1 million in late July to early August.

The VT.com domain name has multiple potential meanings, including "Video Tape" and "Virtual Terminal". It is also a common abbreviation for the US state of Vermont. The purchase price for VT.com is currently unknown.

Here are this week's Top Topics.


Black Friday and Cyber Monday Deals

Democracy.com Sold. What Was the Sales Price?

Last week, it was announced that the Democracy.com domain name was acquired by billionaire Mark Cuban. The story made international news, with the New York Times initially reporting on the story.

The Democracy.com domain name was due to be auctioned off, with a minimum bid of $300,000. However, Mark purchased the domain name before the auction, so the sales price was not revealed. Here, domainers debate the likely sales price of Democracy.com.

Help Stop the Sale of .ORG

Another major news story from the last week that has received mainstream news attention is that of the sale of the .ORG extension. The extension, which has run on a non-profit basis, will now be sold to Ethos Capital for a currently undisclosed price.

The sale of .ORG will mean that price caps will be axed, meaning Ethos Capital could increase registration and renewal prices as they wish. If you, like many others, disagree with the sale of .ORG, you can visit this discussion and sign the petition.

Here Is My Domaining Story

Domainers are encouraged to share their own domaining stories, as they can act as motivation for other investors. Here, a domainer that started their journey four years ago has shared their story of largely buying and flipping numerous domain names.

Along with their story, they have disclosed fifteen sales along with details of the purchase and sales prices. Investors have been invited to ask questions and offer feedback to the domainer.
