It was another solid week for .info. After having it's best outing of the year last week (with 7 charted domains), the extension came back with this week's top sale, Racing.info at $18,000 as well as the #3 GC chart entry, Online-Gambling.info at $6,000. Overall, .info put four names on the board this week. Racing.info also ranks among the 20 biggest sales reported so far this year in the Global Contenders category. 

In the usual skirmishing between .net and .org for most overall chart entries, .net emerged with a slim 8-7 win this week, but the extension was dominant where it counted, on the top half of the chart, taking four of the first six positions, including #2 SIL.net at €5,000 ($6,343). .Net also scored with #4 Camouflage.net ($4,200), #5 UsedCarDealers.net ($3,700) and #6 Caroline.net ($3,600), with all three of those sales coming at SnapNames.

.Pro also broke into the top ten with Paris.pro posting $2,888 at Sedo. Here's the complete Global Contenders chart for the week ending September 10:

There were 20 more four-figure sales just off the chart with SnapNames accounting for a dozen of those. Nine of their winners were .orgs, including Bioxml.org ($1,700), AmberAlertNow.org ($1,650) and FHAHero.org ($1,549).

Country Codes

The European Union's .eu and Germany's .de dominated the ccTLD action this week with each extension putting four domains on our Country Code leader board. .eu grabbed the top spot with Work-Shop.eu going for €2,500 ($3,172) at Sedo. Broadcom.eu was #3, selling for €2,100  ($2,664) at Sedo, a venue that swept all but one of the charted sales.

#2 MortgageLender.tv slipped in between the first two .eu domains after tuning in $2,800 at Sedo. .de joined the fray at #4 with ShopHopp.de selling for €2,000 ($2,537). The fifth spot went to Florida.st (SaoTome and Principe ccTLD) which changed hands for $2,500 in a private sale. The only other sale not involving a .eu or a .de was #6 TemplateMonster.es (Spain's country code) at €1,700 ($2,157).
