Up CreditReport.com, CreditScore.com, and MyCreditScore.com in 9 Figure Deal — Experian Picks

Experian picks up prized domains in buyout.

Credit information firm Experian picked up a few killer domains a couple weeks ago, but I haven’t seen anyone in the domain industry write regarding it yet.

Experian bought Mighty Net Inc, which owned the domains CreditReport.com, CreditScore.com, and MyCreditScore.com, in a deal worth $207.5 million.

This is certainly more than just a domain name deal. Mighty Net has 680,000 U.S. subscribers to its credit monitoring services.

But it’s interesting to note that Mighty Net hasn’t owned CreditScore.com and MyCreditScore.com, two of its flagship brands, for long. As stated by this blog post, Mighty Net picked up the domains just earlier this year. The sales price wasn’t released but it was reportedly north of $5 million.
