Name sells for $8,200 — .Tips domain

Domain name investor pays top dollar for a .tips domain name.

A .tips domain names has sold for $8,200 at GoDaddy.

HorseRacing.tips was purchased by London-based Domain Invest Ltd. [Apparently I looked up the whois record of HorseRacingTips.com, not HorseRacing.tips. The latter is under whois privacy. Sorry regarding that.] Domain Invest Ltd appears to own a lot of gambling related domain names.

This is the highest price I’ve seen so far for a GoDaddy auction to resolve multiple orders for the same domain name. It’s not the highest known price for a domain under a fresh TLD yet, still. Some firms have paid to get domain names on day one of Donuts’ “Early Access Program”. That costs at least $10,000.

.Tips has has just over 10,000 registered domain names so far.

Some other recent fresh TLD sales on GoDaddy include Pizza.today for $4,005, Stockmarket.Tips for $2,075, Headline.today for $1,886, Palestine.today for $1,525, Nano.technology for $1,425 and Istanbul.today for $1,325.
