Country Codes

A quartet of five-figures sales, led by WHI.ch at $21,840 via Sedo, set the pace for the ccTLDs this week. You saw all of those five-figure sales in the all extension chart above so the biggest sale you haven't seen yet in this category is #5 on our new Country Code Top 20 Sales Chart. That is Sedo's $9,030 sale of VEO.tv. #6 DayTrips.co.uk was just a half step back at $9,000 in a deal handled by NoktaDomains. 

Sedo answered with #7 CarpetCleaning.us at $8,500 and Nokta responded with #8 NortheastLettings.co.uk at $7,063. Sedo and Nokta wound up splitting the top ten entries 5-5, but Sedo took nine of ten on the second half of the leader board to end up leading the way with 14 charted domains overall. 

Great Britain's .co.uk wound up edging Germany's .de 7-6 in the race among extensions. Only one other TLD, the European Union's .eu, had multiple chart entries as they scored twice.

Here is how the ccTLD leaders stacked up for the week ending January 1:

There were several dozen additional four-figure ccTLD sales off the chart with Sedo accounting for the vast majority of those including Supr.de at $2,696 and three others; Estate.es, Marini.de and Seniorenbetreuung.ch at $2,580 each. 

Sedo had 32 more four-figure ccTLD sales ranging from $1,000 to $2,354 that are listed in the table below:

Elsewhere, NoktaDomains sold Accidente.es ($2,500) and RugbyScores.co.uk ($1,000) while NetFleet.com.au moved four Australian domains; LifeInsuranceQuotesAustralia.com.au ($2,042), FastCash.com.au ($1,556), YouJizz.com.au ($1,191) and Tube8.com.au ($1,091). Also, the AfternicDLS sold LGO.co for $1,870.

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

Unfortunately, the non .com gTLDs didn't get as large a share of the week's sizeable bounty as the .coms and ccTLDs did. They had only one five-figure sale, Schwangerschaft.net for $11,094 at Sedo. The next biggest sales on our new Non .com gTD Top 20 Chart are a pair of names at $8,000 each; Commission.net, sold ar the AfternicDLS, and YEU.net via Sedo.

Two more .nets rounded out the top five. #4 Elektro.net notched $6,450 at Sedo and #5 WOT.net went for $6,040 at the AfternicDLS (the winner of the race among venues with 9 charted domains). WOT.net had been acquired for just $1,006 at Sedo in October, so very nice ROI there.  

The .nets easily won the race among extensions, claiming 15 of the 20 chart entries. The .Orgs took four places with the other being claimed by #7 Code.info at $3,999 (through Moniker/SnapNames). 

 Here's how all of the Non .Com gTLD leaders stacked up for the week ending January 1:

There were a couple of dozen additional four-figure non .com gTLD sales just off the chart led by the AfternicDLS sale of FurnishedApartments.org at $2,488. Their list included MusicInMotion.net ($2,388), NewReligion.org ($1,850) and Capto.net ($1,688).

PMAM.net nabbed $1,672 and four others; ClubSports.org, GeneticTesting.org, GrowingUp.org and LatopTopCases.net added $1,500 apiece. Two others; OnlineBackupService.net and OnlineDataStorage.org generated $1,250 each. Cybersea.org salted away $1,188, PinkButterfly.net brought $1,100 and Financiamento.net tacked on $1,088.

At Sedo HipHop.info attracted $1,922, Massanzug.org made $1,664 and Seminar.pro provided $1,500. CheapInsurance.info chalked up $1,399, Schoenheitsklinik.org deposited $1,355 and BridesmaidDresses.org drew $1,000.
