Dentists.ca sale? (2.Viewing)

Active Topics New Topic

šŸ’° Dentists.ca - probably sold for over $500,000.
And nobody noticed.
Just a quiet WHOIS change on July 25, 2025ā€¦
And now it redirects straight to šŸ‘‰ Opencare.com
This is probably the biggest .CA domain sale ever.
And one of the hottest silent moves of 2025.

šŸ¦· But why Dentists.ca?
Because this isnā€™t just a domain.
Itā€™s a category leader.
The ā€œLoans.comā€ of Canadian dentistry.

And Opencare?
Theyā€™re not new to the game:
šŸ“ Offices in San Francisco + Toronto
šŸ“ˆ Their top searches? (from their website + Web Archive)
ā†’ Dentists in Calgary
ā†’ Dentists in Vancouver
ā†’ Dentists in Toronto
This isnā€™t a branding decision.
Itā€™s market domination.

Dentists.ca brings:
āœ… Type-in traffic
āœ… SEO firepower
āœ… Instant credibility
āœ… Defensive moat

And hereā€™s a twist:
šŸ”Ž BestDentists.ca dropped the same month.
Now itā€™s a live site.
Coincidence? Or a scramble to catch up?

opencare.com sold in 2013 for $8,200 (via Dnjournal)

This sale was brokered by Gerard Michael šŸ’Æ at DNPost.com.

šŸ‘‡ So Iā€™ll ask you:
Was this a brand flexā€¦ or a defensive strike?
What would you do with Dentists.ca?
Letā€™s talk below.


Iā€™m catching the next viral domain moves before they break:
ā†’ Girlfriend.now + Boyfriend.now quietly sold
ā†’ Commerce.com just went live, looks like BigCommerce bought it
ā†’ Hello.app, a $115,000 domain... expired and untouched for 2 weeks
Whatā€™s next? Stick around, Iā€™ll find it before the press does.

I highly doubt that it sold for over $500K in 2025. Maybe in 2005, but not today.

Plus, it's only being used as a forward to a primary company domain (OpenCare.com), which pretty well negates the potential for a $500K sale.
 
A lot of high value reported domain sales used as a forward are BS, the Booth brothers are a prime example, half the reported sales are simply forwards to another website. The so called owner of dentists.ca is using a forward to opencare. You're telling me they spent $500,000 and aren't capable of using a proper SSL certificate?

Crap, you're right, Wayne owns Dentists.us not the .ca. Yeah, I know about the dental sale.

As for dentists, I guess I don't know who owned it then. Actually, it looks like it was at least once owned by this guy:

He's not in my network so I can't message him. Anyone linked to him that can ask for the scoop?

Not in my network either, but apparently he's the official dentist of the Argonauts:

I especially recommend the office tour video ;)

I'm looking for a DentisT, I'm not looking for DentistS

Dentists makes sense for a directory but not an entity. Dentist.ca would be of higher value but the dictionary on one word domains is wide open for CA, I'm selling far more two word combinations. This forum has a strange fascination with one word domains at a time when most sales are coming from two word combos. Members are focusing on generics when the sales are actually coming from targeted domains. I've sold 11 domains this year using the keyword green. Research businesses that fit the keyword and target the end user. Even experienced members on this site don't have the foresight to see what sells. A 1-3 thousand dollar return 11 times on a single keyword domain is a decent revenue stream. Pick another keyword and repeat the process and stop crying when someone doesn't buy your domain from a for sale post after a week.
 
I was pretty close with the founder of Opencare a while back here in Toronto (attending each other bday's and so on) so I would have known about this 500,000 purchase of the domain (unless it was under NDA), but I highly doubt this number

If you check Archive.org you'll see it was a directory just recently. The Dentists.ca website said their goal was to be booking $500M in yearly dental bookings. They probably had spent time making relationships with dentists and opencare will use it the same way, so it would indeed be a sensible acquisition, expand their customer base and eliminate a competitor.

That's kinda how I got the creditcards.ca sale. The site was developed and #1 in google and Creditcards.com just wanted to bump us off the top of google and they couldn't do it. They spent 2 years trying and finally just decided to pay my price. The crazy thing is that after they later got bought out, they're not even using it any more, not even as a simple redirect. So crazier things have happened.
 
I don't know why we're making such a big deal about this, as the original author has absolutely no clue and is just pulling numbers out of his ass.

He probably owns some similar generic occupational domains and is trying (in true self-serving style) to hype them up using some outlandishly fake sales price he concocted during a fever dream.

As my dad would say, this guy is crazy as a shithouse rat.
