UFC, USPS, Nuance, etc.: Huge week for end user domain sales
Big names buy domain names this stretch.
All I can say is “wow!”. This was a huge week for end user domain name purchases. I honestly don’t recall a week with this many big names on the list.
Many of the buyers are huge firms, ranging from Nuance to Enterprise. There are some other notable names such as United States Postal Service, Ultimate Fighting Championship, and Keith Ferrazzi’s firm Ferrazzi Greenlight. It doesn’t stop there, but I can’t mention every big name here…so read on!
