Country Codes

It was a bang up week for the ccTLDs with that big six-figure sale of Beds.co.uk and four five-figure sales (all listed on the all extension Top 20 Chart you saw above) filling the first five slots on  this week's Country Code Top 20 Sales Chart.

The highest ccTLD sale you haven't seen yet is #6 LookBook.it (Italian country code), sold at Sedo for $8,064. Sedo went on to sweep all of the remaining chart entries including #7 UE.de ($7,200) and #8 Butterfly.co.uk ($6,520). 

As they usually do, Germany's popular .de extension had the most chart entries with five. Great Britain's .co.uk followed with three and three other extensions; Switzerland's .ch, Italy's .it and India's .in had two entries each,  

Here is how the Country Code Top 20 stacked up for the week ending August 28:

There were several dozen additional four-figure ccTLD sales off the chart with Sedo accounting for all but three of those. Their list included Ideo.in at $2,500, eBingo.es at $2,448 and FreeDrop.at at $2,290.  

Sedo had 38 more four-figure ccTLD sales ranging form $1,000 to $2,520 that are listed in the table below:

Elsewhere the AfternicDLS sold Spaghetti.tv ($1,870), uShip.co.uk ($1,400) and StreetSmart.co.nz ($1,200).

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

The non .com gTLDs rang up a quartet of five-figure sales this week (all of which made the all extension leader board you saw earlier). Those domains, which included a nice 3-letter .info sale (#3 ETP.info at $12,500), fill the first four positions on our new Non .Com gTLDs Top 20 Chart. 

The biggest sale you haven't yet seen in this category is #5 OnlineMeeting.net, a name that changed hands at the AfternicDLS for $4,488. The AfternicDLS went on to pile up 11 chart entries, more than any other venue. Their haul included two more in the top ten; #8 Vikas.net at $3,388 and #10 OnlineNetwork.net at $2,988. 

The .nets had a big week taking 14 of the 23 chart entries (the extra three positions resulted from a 6-way tie for the final spot). The .orgs were next with six, while the .mobis claimed two places and .info took one. 

Here's how all of the Non .Com gTLD leaders stacked up for the week ending August 28:

There were several additional four-figure non .com gTLD sales just off the chart led by the AfternicDLS sale of Rondonia.net for $1,950. Their winner's list also included Ridgeway.net ($1,900) and Resale.info ($1,699). 

The AfternicDLS had 18 more four-figure non .com gTLD sales ranging from $1,000 to $1,688 that are listed in the table below:

Back at Sedo, SGK.org sold for $1,935, Home-Warranty.net went for $1,900 and two others; W4.org and Vragen.net notched $1,800 each. BestLoans.net brought $1,750, Air.Travel added $1,500 and Corpo.info captured $1,450. 

Sedo's roster was rounded out with PointOfSale.info ($1,400), Videncia.net ($1,296), Markisen.info ($1,080) and FTTH.info ($1,000).
