Minds + Machines announced yesterday, it was re-branding its website from MindsandMachines.com to the domain name MMX.co.
The domain name MMX.co was on Sedo weekly transaction list back in May 2015 selling for $2,200.
Minds + Machines has a market cap of around £69.03 which is around $97.5 million USD.
If you’re wondering, the domain name MMX.com is owned by Intel but does not resolve.
According to Screenshots.com, MMX.com, last resolved around 3 years ago.
MMX is the stock symbol for the company.
LSE:MMX
The domain name mmx.co is registered at Tucows under privacy.
Even domain pros type in .com when meaning .co
mmx.co ? or mmx.com as in the title.
well – that sums it up ?
thinking the same thing. maybe he should take a pinch of that 35 million dollars and hire an editor. or not.
lol I also was confused, and was wondering if they purchased the .com or if someone else did.
But then he goes on to say intel owns MMX.com and no way it would sell for less than 6 figures.
Why not use one or their own extensions, good vote of confidence when a new G can’t even be bullish in using one of their own, how do they expect others to?
Yes .com would have been great
A lot of start up company like short .co than using long .com because it is cheap. I have a .co that is asked to sell by a director of big internet company for their new service. But they said their budget was only small, so I decided not to sell it. They end up using another .co

Yea ok buddy!!!
I’m sure this end-user is capable of making a larger purchase. Usually, these companies use “under funded” and “unable to pay a particular price” as the sole reasons they won’t pay higher prices.
Just keep the domain. Don’t sell your domain names cheap to end-users. They will come knocking later, especially after getting higher quotes on less than stellar domains.
Good luck!
Thanks J
Your welcome, Surya. Peace 🙂
It doesn’t take much effort to understand that MMx.co sold for $2,200 to Minds + Machines. This company rebranded their domain name from MindsAndMachines.com to MMX.co.
Michael informed his readers about the best extension – MMX.com. Intel owns this MMX.com domain name.
At an 8 figure market cap and running a stock chasing, it would make sense for Minds + Machines to pursue MMX.com. However, this domain may be out of reach.
Minds + Machines company should attempt to chase after the MMX.com domain name. It is not being used right now; it hasn’t in 3 years.
Michael doesn’t need an editor to publish his content. He has done a great job. Simple facts are stated in his article. Imagine if Michael didn’t begin his sentence with, “If you’re wondering,”
Poking fun at a top domain investor and popular domain blog owner shows a lack of respect for a guy who donates his valuable time to inform and teach domain investors how to become successful. Show some respect. SMH.
meant, running at stock symbol
SMH at technology; “running a stock symbol”
I agree with you. It is just an additional information why they didn’t use MMX.com.
Mmx.co is such a cringeworthy domain especially for such a valuable company so inextricably linked to domains and the domaining industry, it’s clearly not their first choice.
It just looks cheap, no amount of spin or positive attitude can hide the fact that a .co without the corresponding .com is an obvious compromise.
And even if they owned the .com they would 100% choose to rebrand to mmx.com instead of mmx.co.
And what does MMX mean or stand for anyway?
I could see how Minds and Machines might want to rebrand itself as MM but where does the extra X come from?
Couldn’t this be equally said of both Donuts (who used donuts.co everywhere before switching to donuts.domains in places) and Rightside who use Rightside.co? Neither are the registrant of the equivalent under .com.
MMX is their stock symbol
