Weird, my antivirus went crazy when I tried to go to Z.com

 

[angel69]

A huge amount to be sold for, wow. I don't recall when I saw a previous sale of a single letter .com

 

[Jdaly]

I think A.com sold for a ton at one point ages ago, no?

 

[gaetanomarano]

surely, an easy to remember URL ...

A very cheap price for such a precious thing!

When .co was released in July 2010 we heard big news in mainstream media that Amazon had acquired A.co and Z.co (you all know their logo, the arrow starts at the A of Amazon and ends at the Z, that they sell all things under the sun, a to z) and also that Overstock.com had chosen O.co as their alterego after getting O.co Well, with the 'tepid' success of the .co ext lol we haven't heard much about a.co, z.co or even o.co the last 4 yrs. But when a single letter is sold for so much, like Z.com was, we should be able to find this in mainstream news, we'll see...

Excellent domain! I imagine most single letter .com's would sell for similar prices or more, if they came up for sale.
