Country Codes

In 2011 the country codes are continuing the roll they have been on for several years now as they continue to outperform the non .com gTLDs week in and week out. The ccTLDs rang up seven five-figure sales this week with Tuttoauto.it at $45,360 taking the pole position on our new Country Code Top 20 Chart. 

All of those five-figure sales made the all-extension Top 20 chart you saw earlier in this report, so the highest ccTLD sale you haven't seen yet is #8 Promotions.ch, a Swiss country code domain that attracted $9,450 at Sedo. #9 LaserWorld.de hit the 9K level as well in a $9,113 deal, also handled by Sedo who swept 16 of the 20 chart entries. 

Here is how the Country Code Top 20 stacked up for the week ending Jan. 16:

There were several dozen more four-figure country codes sales off the chart with DomainSushi.com ringing up the highest of those after moving Dazzle.me for $3,750 in a private sale. 

Sedo swept the rest with a roster that included OneBet.se at $3,500 and two others;  FlirtFair.nl and MyPoster.at at $3,375 each. Sedo had 52 more ccTLD sales ranging from $1,000 to $3,200 that are listed in the table below:

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

Let's start with a little house keeping in this section. In the past we have referred to the non .com gTLDs as "Global Contenders" and that was the name of our Top 20 Chart for this category. However, it has never been a standard term and outside of our columns probably left room for some confusion as to exactly what we were talking about. It is almost always better to be specific and though Non .Com gTLDs is a clunkier term (the reason we coined Global Contenders to begin with) it still does a better job of describing the TLDs in this group. The start of a new year seemed like a good time to make the change, so we have done so.

Unfortunately a new appellation isn't likely to restore this group's mojo as the non .com gTLDs watched  the ccTLDs go by them in the fast lane a few years ago and have never caught back up. We now only see two or three five-figure sales in this category most weeks. There are three this week, led by Real-Estate.asia at $14,175 through Sedo. That is telling in itself. Who would have expected a hyphenated .asia domain to surpass all of the .net and .org sales in the aftermarket in any given week?

Still the .nets dominated this less competitive field overall sweeping 13 of 20 chart entries this week, including the highest sale you haven't seen yet - #4 GRC.net at $7,000 through the AfternicDLS. The #5 spot went to a .info - Medicus.info - at $6,750, also via the AfternicDLS. .Info scored a second top ten entry with Sedo's $4,000 sale of #9 File.info.

Here's how all of the Non .Com gTLDs stacked up for the week ending Jan. 16:

There were several dozen additional four-figure GC sales just off the chart. Sedo had the highest of those with Brico.net at $2,093. Mainstream.info added $2,025 there.  

Sedo had 16 more four-figure non .com gTLD sales ranging from $1,000 to $2,012 that are listed in the table below:

Back at the AfternicDLS Gadgetz.net grossed $2,088, FullScreen.net fetched $2,000 and RetirementLiving.org located $1,688. SFAS.org added $1,600, AHBR.net nabbed $1,588 and two others; Girasol.org and ProgressiveSolutions.net drew $1,500 each. 

LarryJohnson.net landed $1,488, KidsSnowboards.net skidded to a $1,350 stop and RoyalTouch.net returned $1,300. Two others; GovernmentGrants.biz and SuperForm.net sold for $1,288 apiece while HomeRegistry.net rang up $1,188. 

Afternic's Domain Listing Service partner Sedo also sold ConfCall.net for $1,462.
