Important Domain Transactions
.com is "the one and only" domain extension
for large Businesses or major international websites.
The largest Domain transactions are usually not published
in particular if they are related to large Corportations.
Companies that missed to register a strategic Domain at the time
don´t like to talk about it
....
And even today there are large Corportations
that do not understand the Internet ...
they spend a lot of Money on Advertisement every year,
but they are don´t want to pay for an already registered Domain Name
in the after market ...
They are the ones, that in a coupe of years, if they are still in Business,
will make the biggest Domain transactions.
