Firm picked up regarding 300,000 domain names for $50 million.

Last month GoDaddy (NYSE:GDDY) bought two domain name portfolios: Donuts’ portfolio of regarding 200,000 domains and a portfolio linked to Kevin Ham that had regarding 100,000 domain names.

The firm disclosed in its latest 10-Q filing with the SEC that it paid $50 million combined for these domains:

In October 2017, we completed two domain portfolio acquisitions for aggregate cash consideration of $50.0 million, counting $4.2 million payable upon expiration of the contractual holdback periods.

That comes out to regarding $167 per domain name.

The filing does not break down how much was paid for each portfolio, nor do I expect any future filings to contain this information.
