The most expensive URL in the world

Last week Moniker.com hosted a domain name auction in New York’s Grand Hyatt hotel. Out of the 218 URL’s up for sale two managed to sell for over $1 million each: Seniors.com sold for $1.8 million and Creditcheck.com went for $3 million. With the average URL selling for just $3,000, I cast my mind back to 2000 when a flash of inspiration slapped me round the face when I thought of buying what I considered could be the most popular URL’s. Being a girly girl, diamond.com was of course high on the list which went for an astonishing $7.5 million last year leaving me with a the most uncomfortable feeling of self-loathing. The most expensive URL in the world? At $12 million, Sex.com of course! Source: Forbes
