Hello Everyone!
This marked our highest quarter for domain sales since 2008 and represents an 18.6 percent increase in the number of sales compared to Q4 2009!
Nearly 12,000 domains changed hands via the Sedo marketplace during the quarter, accounting for more than $23 million in transactions.
During the quarter, we witnessed a surge in generic (gTLDs) and country code Top Level Domains (ccTLDs), including the sale of Poker.org for $1 million, Credit.fr for â¬587, 500 and Pilot.com for $300,000.
Highlights of Sedoâs Q1 2010 study include:
⢠A total of 11,942 domains sold on the Sedo global domain marketplace during the quarter (up 18.6 percent from the previous quarter);
⢠Total domain sales of approximately $23 million (an increase of 8 percent compared to Q4 2009, and up 36 percent compared to Q1 2009);
⢠The .com extension remained the most popular gTLD, accounting for 76 percent of domains sold, followed by the .net, .info, .biz and .org extensions, respectively. The average price of a .com domain was $2,373;
⢠Among ccTLDs, the .de extension was the frontrunner accounting for 38 percent of ccTLDs sold. The .eu extension moved into second place at 36 percent, and can be attributed to the launch of new IDN domains under .eu in Q4 2009 and the beginning of Q1 2010;
⢠Fixed price domains surged in popularity as a result of Sedo.comâs âBuy it Nowâ option, which provides customers with the ability to purchase a domain name immediately, without having to get involved in the auction process.
