Last November I wrote about Translate.com closing at $853,000 on Flippa. This was a developed website. I kept checking the whois and said to a friend maybe it did not sell because there was no update.
Well now it’s updated, the buyer was revealed on Slator.com as they found a Ukranian website that revealed the buyer.
However, in early February 2019, Ukrainian website Vector revealed the domain’s buyer to be Oleksii Vitchenko.
From the article:
According to Vitchenko, Digital Future “only bought domain and other digital assets” and has not “purchased a company running the translate.com site.”
Under its new ownership, Translate.com is now “being run by a small distributed team,” Vitchenko said. But “when there is a need, we’ll probably think of a permanent office,” he added. “We hired a team of experts and development professionals to take this business to another level.”
