Flights.ca Domain Sells For $120,000

Sites include flights.ca . Published on January 29th, 2012. Written by Daniel Renfro.

There are various domain name selling companies on the world wide web. These companies bring in a lot of revenue and very successful due to the popularity of having businesses online. Just as there are many different domain name selling companies to choose from when looking into purchasing a domain name, there are thousands upon thousands of domain names to pick from which allows businesses to choose a domain name that best fits their company and the products or services they are involved in, and also allows them to find a domain name that fits into their budget. Some domain names can be pretty pricey, from 5 to 6 figures, where others are only a couple hundred dollars. Though this price may cause businesses to hesitate it is definitely worth the expense since the internet is such a convenient and popular place to do business these days.

DNJournal has weekly reports for the domain name sells in a given week or other time period. Flights.ca was the #3 top domain name the sold recently and the #1 country code domain name the sold. Flights.ca sold for a whopping $120,000 showing just how pricey some domain names can be. Flights.ca was sold by a Canadian named Rick Silver to RedTag.ca which is an online travel site, in a recent private sale.

Here is some more information about .ca sales as well as the DNS site:

“Usually when there is a big .ca sale the news spreads fast through the Canadian domainer community in forums, but I have to say I didn’t see or hear anything about this sale before Ron’s weekly report.  It was great to see a large .ca domain sale so early in 2012.  Flights.ca is a premium keyword domain for the travel industry, and to those not familiar with .ca, it is highly used and known by Canadians.  Congratulations to Rick Silver and RedTag.ca on this transaction!

Another recent .ca sale I missed took place in December over at DomainNameSales.com.  OpenSkies.ca sold in the $3,000 to $5,000 range (DNS only gives price ranges for their sales).  Before you think this is another travel related sale, it looks like the domain is being used by an MRI company in Saskatchewan.

If you check out the DNS site, you’ll see that they post domain sales, but also the domains they receive inquiries on and the price quotes they give.  Every so often there is a .ca domain listed.  It is one more resource that can be used to see how the overall domain market is doing, and what domains people are looking for.”
