In the domain name world, this week brought some notable sales that demonstrate continued interest in high-value domains, especially in legacy extensions and emerging sectors like .AI.
- Adhoc.com was the standout sale, closing at $75,834 through Sedo. Interestingly, this domain has been on the market before, and its prior sale in 2010 fetched an even higher price—$87,750. The domain has shifted between owners, including a German buyer in the past, but this sale reflects sustained interest in concise, easily brandable .com names.
- TravelAgent.ai, part of the growing .AI domain trend, sold for $90,000, leading a handful of recent .AI domain sales. This domain’s value stems from the booming AI sector, with businesses increasingly investing in AI-related domain names to capitalize on the technology’s rapid adoption. Other notable .AI sales include Astrology.ai, which went for $72,000, reflecting how sectors outside traditional tech, like astrology, are also tapping into AI branding.
- In the new gTLD category, Build.app caught attention with a sale of $74,238. This domain, sold to an Australian banking service provider, demonstrates how new gTLDs are becoming a viable option for startups and companies looking for creative branding solutions. The increasing adoption of .app domains is notable in the finance and technology sectors.
These sales highlight how premium domains in traditional extensions (.com) continue to hold their value, while new trends, such as .AI and new gTLDs, are rapidly gaining traction in niche markets. As businesses look to future-proof their online presence, strategic domain acquisitions are playing a key role.
