What Extensions Changed Hands in 2016 According to DNJournal’s Top 100 Charts

February 7, 2017 By John Colascione Leave a Comment

*** Here Is A List Of Some Of The Best Domain Name Resources Available ***






NEW YORK, NY – A reader suggested I look at the top domain sales of 2016 (specifically, the number of notable new gTLD sales); while I am waiting for a response from Sedo for a full set of data (if they will release it), I used Ron Jackson’s popular 2016 Top 100 Domain Sales Charts to get an idea of exactly what moved around last year and how many ccTLDs verses gTLD domains hit the charts.

Below is what I found [give or take a domain or two] (It was pretty grueling modifying the charts to strip-out duplicates – I left those only with differing dates indicating a second sale of the same name). This chart is not about the quality of the domain name or the price the name sold for, it’s strictly about the extensions.
