One of America's favorite holidays, Thanksgiving Day (Thursday, November 28) is actually just the start of a cheished four-day weekend that begins with a traditional Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday (along with LOTS of football) and continues all the way through Sunday (and even longer for many who don't even head home from their holidays trips until Monday). While Thanksgiving is a day that Americans pause to give thanks, those who make their living in the domain business around the world have good reason to celebrate too with the domain aftermarket turning in another powerful performance over the past two weeks. Every big sale underscores the inherent value of meaningful domain names.
The run was highlighted by a trio of six-figure sales, including one of the ten biggest reported so far this year, as well as another that is one of the ten biggest ccTLD sales YTD. Both of those were closed at Afternic where the latest chart topper on our bi-weekly all extension Top 20 Sales Chart, Employer.com, changed hands for a handsome $450,000. The name was purchased by the people who run Recruiter.com. Their CEO, Jesse Tinsley, explained the reasons for the purchase, noting, "Why Employer.com? Because it’s easy to remember and perfectly captures our vision: which is empowering businesses to onboard effortlessly and pay employees anywhere in the world with ease."
