According to whois records, GoDaddy’s newly acquired domain name Beijing.com which it acquired with the $28 Million purchase of Marchex domain name portfolio has been sold!
The domain Beijing.com has changed registrants this morning to a Ivy Wong at eName Technology Co.,Ltd
Beijing is the capital of China with a population of over 21 million people.
Denver.com sold for a confirmed “seven figure deal” in 2012.
Korea.com sold for $5 Million in 2000
There have been several publicly reported GEO domain name sales in the seven figures and I see this one ranking with them if the price is ever reported.
The domain name is resolving to domain name broker George Hong’s Guta.com, so I have reached out to George to see if he sold the domain or has any details of the transaction but he was unable to comment. That is a common response when a non-disclosure agreement is in place.
I have also reached out to GoDaddy to see if they can share any details and will update this breaking story when or if I hear back.
Really great domain name and congrats go out to both the buyer and seller!
