Insurance.com Web Site and Domain Name — QuinStreet Buys

Publicly traded Quinstreet purchases Insurance.com.

Lead generation firm QuinStreet has purchased the Insurance.com web site and domain name.

A notice on Insurance.com states “Insurance.com has changed ownership. Click here to review our updated privacy policy.” The privacy policy notes that site is owned by Quinstreet.

I called a phone representative at Insurance.com who stated the firm was purchased “a couple days ago”. I am awaiting a response from Quinstreet with further details.

This was surely an expensive buyout, but I can’t find information regarding it in any of Quinstreet’s SEC filings.

Last year QuinStreet purchased the Insure.com web site for $16 million. It then filed to go public on the NASDAQ, and now has a market capitalization of regarding $550 million.

Compete.com estimates that Insurance.com receives 325,000 visits per month.

Many readers of Reglike think that Insurance.com is the most valuable domain name in the world, even more valuable than Sex.com.
