K.TO Sells for $40K on Sedo.com

by

A rare one letter domain name in an “off” extension just sold on Sedo.com

The domain K.To sold for $40,000.

It looks like according to Domaintools.com the domain was 1st registered just back in 2008.

.To is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) of the island kingdom of Tonga.

I have seem many one letter ccTLD’s in non-major jurisdictions sell for as little as $1K, this maybe a record sale for a .TO domain.

As far as who owned or bought the domain name well .TO registry doesn’t provide whois info:

“Tonic does not maintain a whois database that provides registrant information, as many of our customers consider the public display of this information invasive of their privacy”

K.To is currently forwarding to keek.com

    Goes to show that money is shifting into other extensions from .com

    Sedo reported a decline of $17,000,000 in .com sales for the very first time while

    .Co

    is now one of the top extensions.

    Money is not shifting .com’s are just costing more, and less people are willing to give them up for cheap, leaving only option to register other extensions.

    Fairly nice sale. Single-letter .to domains have generally outsold many of the other “off” extensions as you put them since most of those extensions don’t double as a word. Still, this is a pretty high sale of such a domain. The single-letter .co deals with Google and Twitter likely have helped increase value of single-letter domains in other extensions.
