Sex.com Domain Sold For $13M

Sex.com Domain Sold For $13M

In July 2010, Escom LLC – the former owner of the domain Sex.com – put up the domain for auction when it went bankrupt. Now the domain name Sex.com has been sold for $13 Million!

In the internet, strategic and catchy domain names can sell like hotcakes. Individuals and business enterprises who wants to put up a blog or website should get domain names that perfectly fits their purpose. However, the domain name that you want may be available anymore. Somebody else could be owning them already and that's when the price of a domain name could go sky high depending on it's power to sell.

Imagine how much traffic would go to a domain name sex.com? From search engine hits alone, the amount of traffic could get enormous. No wonder it was sold for $13 Million! Clover Holdings – a company registered on the Caribbean island of St. Vincent – paid that price for sex.com.
