Year's Biggest Sale, Highest .Net Sale Ever & 1st .EU Sales Head New DNJournal Report

[Ron Jackson]

The new weekly domain sales report is out at DNJournal.com and we have a new #1 sale for 2006 - a domain that went for 10 times more than the previous leader (and now ranks among the highest reported sales of all time). We also saw completion of the highest .net sale ever reported and received prices from the first finalized .eu sales to come across our desk.

.Com dominated the all extension chart, taking 17 of 20 entries, while .net ruled the Global Contenders list, sweeping the first nine positions and 15 of 20 overall. America's ccTLD, .us, led the way on the Country Code chart with 5 entries to outpoint .de and .co.uk who had 3 each. All of the details are available through the link below:

Also new at DNJournal today is a fresh article in our Legal Matters section from Washington D.C. domain attorney Stevan Lieberman about "Generic Words" as Domain Names.

I'm speechless - 7.5 million dollars is one heck of a deal for Diamond.com (and I'm speaking from the perspective of the former owner). It's also very nice to see the .net with it's largest sale ever as well. I think it's a good point that some are starting to look outside the .com box.

As always, thanks for the information, I love reading the sales lists and appreciate the work you guys do over there at DNJ!

I'm loving the Namepros sale as well! Way to go NP!!

That IS a lot! About the same as business.com.. but diamond can earn more than a billion so for them it's nothing
