The most valuable domain names in America
Cars.com, an undeniably great website URL, sold for $872 million. Insurance.com? Yep, $35.6 million. Voice.com went for a cool $30 million.
You can head to GoDaddy and grab a domain for $1 a year, but anything truly good will cost you. KnownHost analyzed America’s most valuable domains, and you’re really going to see a theme here.
And the top 10 is …
- New England Patriots – patriots.com ($670,799)
- Minnesota Vikings – vikings.com ($665,515)
- Seattle Seahawks – seahawks.com ($665,492)
- Las Vegas Raiders – raiders.com ($655,109)
- Chicago Bears – chicagobears.com ($652,719)
- Pittsburgh Steelers – steelers.com ($651,058)
- Adidas – adidas.com ($638,100)
- Los Angeles Rams – therams.com ($608,736)
- Dior – dior.com ($503,996)
- Under Armour – underarmour.com ($469,956)
Would you look at that? Football teams must get more web traffic than I realized — plus, a one-word URL is pretty dang cool. That’s why I went with Komando.com.
Adidas makes sense, though I bet Nike isn’t happy about it. Luxury brand Dior and sportswear company Under Armour round out the top 10.
Now, does this mean if you offered the Vikings $665,515 for vikings.com, they’d take it? Probably not, but I bet we’ll never have to find out.
