According to research, the buyer of Houston.com operates a multi-geographic domain name portfolio in the .life top-level domain (gTLD), including Alaska.life, Arizona.life, Austin.life, and others, forming a relatively extensive network of geographic domain names. geocentric Media, led by Mercaldo, previously has also made high-priced pushes for other popular geo-domains, such as in 2022, when the company moved its asking price for Manhattan.com to $1.1 million, demonstrating its strong interest and resources in high-value geo-domains.
