Country Codes

As I noted in the all extension section above it was a banner week for the ccTLDS with nine reported sales reaching five figures, led by #1 CheapVacations.ca at $47,000 at DomainNameSales. The highest country code sale you haven't seen yet is #10 on our new  Country Code Top 20 Sales Chart - that is Park.de, a domain that Sedo sold for $7,600. 

The AfternicDLS kicked off the second ten with a nice .US sale. Tennis.us went for $7,500 there. Sedo reeled in the next six chart entries with a group led by #12 Traden.de at $7,260. MissDomain.com finally halted the Sedo run with #17 Smal.se (Swedish ccTLD) at $5,770.

Sedo wound up sweeping 13 of the 21 chart entries (the extra spot resulted from a tie for the final opening). #20 (tie) Mobster.co was one that eluded Sedo's grasp. Richard Lees sold that one for $5,000 in a private transaction.

Germany's .de easily won the extension race with seven chart entries this week. Canada's .ca and Colombia's .co were the only other TLDs with multiple entries as they each took two. 

Here is how the ccTLD leaders stacked up for the week ending Sunday, March 18:

There were dozens of additional four-figure ccTLD sales off the chart with Sedo accounting for the vast majority of those with a list that included MortgageBroker.org.uk ($4,500), Clever-Fit.de ($4,300) and two others at $4,000 each; Casino.gl and GoldPrice.co.za. 

Sedo had 56 more four-figure ccTLD sales ranging from $1,000 to $3,927 that are listed in the table below:

Elsewhere DomainNameSales picked up $2,500 for FreshJuice.ca while Jeff Overman banked $2,200 for AX.tv and $1,600 for GED.tv in a pair of private transactions. 

DomainLore.co.uk moved PromoCodes.org.uk ($1,988) and TelephoneNumber.co.uk ($1,051) while  NetFleet.com.au sold three Australian domains; OnlineInsurance.com.au ($1,419), FamilyHolidays.com.au ($1,179) and Irish.com.au ($1,063).

Non .com gTLDs (.biz, .info, .mobi, .net, .org, .asia, .pro & .tel)

After posting the category's biggest sale of the year last week (CDN.net at $185,000) the non .com gTLDs had a slow week this time out with just one reported sale - APS.net at $15,000 via the AfternicDLS - reaching five figures. The highest sales from this group that you haven't seen yet are tied for #2 on our new Non .com gTLD Top 20 Chart. Those are Discover.org and Private.org at $9,000 each, both through the AfternicDLS who swept 11 of the 20 chart entries.

 MostWantedDomains rounded out the first five with #4 MiamiFloridaRealEstate.net at $7,500 and #5 Frasesdeamor.net at $6,000. Sedo claimed six places on the elite list with a group led by #6 SharedValue.org at $5,000. 

The .nets won the extension race with 12 charted domains compared to 7 for the runner-up .orgs. That left one spot that was claimed by #12 Store.info, bought by Jared Landress through NameJet for $3,600.

Here's how all of the Non .Com gTLD leaders stacked up for the week ending Sunday, March 18:

There were several dozen additional four-figure non .com gTLD sales just off the chart led by The AfternicDLS sale of SoftwareExpress.net for $2,570. They also booked $2,100 for ChildrenOfAftica.net and $2,088 for Wowser.net.

The AfternicDLS had 23 more four-figure sales in this category ranging from $1,000 to $2,000. Those are listed in the table below:

Back at Sedo Lagodigarda.org generated $2,500, Smile.pro provided $2,225 and HairExtension.org added $2,112. Dantax.net and Promeco.net notched $1,980 apiece while MiamiFLRealEstate.net nailed down $1,500.
