Excellent investment: Premium Domain For Sale FDI.IO

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, and db.io, sports.io, mega.io, and groups.io recently sold for $10k+.

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:

  • Google just 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."

The term "fdi" has nearly 500 million search results in Google, and it is of course extremely brandable. FDI is universal term used for Foreign Direct Investment and have huge weightage in google db and its a rare 3 letter catchy name can be used for anything.
