domains Top.Domains has been quite the seller in .APP for 2021

makes you wonder

are domain names digital art?

and if so? are all dpmain names the origional nft's before nft's existed etc

eg for those that like art and domain names etc

could a picture of a

2 letter .com

be put in a gallery etc

because when a person see's a

2 letter .com or 2 number .com etc they are looking at something that has a minimum value of

$1 m +

etc and if so then a domain name investors portfolio then becames a digital art gallery?

all good fun

I thought Top.domains was owned by Donuts Inc, just as Premium.domains...

So this is not the case?

I could be wrong, but I don't think so. Top.domains certainly handle new extension domain names from a number of registries not just Donuts. They do list Donuts as one of their partners (along with GoDaddy, Dan, etc.).

I agree Top.domains seem to be having a great year, particularly in .app, but also have had some nice sales in other new gTLDs.

Thanks for article, @equity78.

The footer suggests an affiliation. Not sure either, but interesting.

I am not saying there is not an affiliation, but I don't think it is ownership, as was asked. But as I said, I could be wrong.

If Donuts owned them it would seem strange that so many of their featured domain names were not Donuts registry names.

Unless it has changed, Donuts partner with certain people/businesses interested in promoting and selling their premium inventory, for a commission.

Whatever their business status is, Top.domains have some fantastic domain names in their portfolio, and have had some great sales in 2021.

The site started on a German domain. On an older instance of the site it also says:

TOP DOMAINS represents many partners/domain owners and we are proud to present a very attractive range of domain names.

I think they are just trying to be very formal and professional. They also list GoDaddy and DAN amongst others.

Looks like he just hit another one today just posted on Namebio live. Great job with that @Michael

Yeh, an affiliation with a registry, well, as Fancy.Domains hit on, this is likely not a just your typical single investor. And from one of their older pages:

TOP DOMAINS offers Premium & Platinum domain names in the new TLDs (Top Level Domains) released by ICANN through 2014 & 2016

so access to these platinum domains would only come through the registry.
