200+ Companies Who Acquired Better Domains
Below are over 200 companies that have acquired the very best .com for their brand after launch. Many of these domain names cost millions. Some even took 10+ years to acquire (such as Tesla.com and MetaLab.com).
You don’t always have to start with the perfect .com domain name. However, there often comes a time when a brand wants to own the very best version of their name. This could result from a simple desire to a true need since customers expect you to own the domain.
The only thing for sure now is: if you want a domain below then odds are you will have to buy the whole company.
FUN FACT:
Matching this list to NameBio data, over 73% never had a sale price reported. How many six and seven figure deals were there? We will never know…
