Servers.com domain name to sell for $300,000 following no one shows up to auction

Stalking horse bidder will walk away with valuable domain name Servers.com.

Last month I wrote regarding how the Servers.com domain name was headed for sale in a bankruptcy auction.

There was a stalking horse bid of $300,000, and no other parties submitted an interest in the domain name, so the domain name will sell for $300,000 subject to court approval.

The buyer listed on the original court document is XBT Holdings Ltd.

I can’t find an exact match for that name when searching, but XBT Holding Ltd (singular “Holding”) is a firm in the webhosting business, so that’s probably the buyer. (Update 12/2/13: it is the buyer.)

XBT has been busy acquiring webhosting firms. As a result, it manages a lot of servers. The firm boasts that it doubled it servers from 8,000 to 16,000 last year.

The domain name Server.com (singular) sold for $770,000 back in 2009.
