Overview: A domain name, in simple terms, is like the address of a website on the internet, comparable to Madison Avenue or Rodeo Drive in the physical world. Just as Facebook acquired FB.com for $8.5 million in 2010, which is now valued at over $1 billion, many major companies globally possess premium domain names. For instance, American Airlines owns AA.com, Google has AR.com, Burger King uses BK.com, and Disney owns GO.com. Having a premium domain name enables users to find websites quickly and accurately.
Background: A (requesting anonymity) is the founder of an overseas domain brokerage team with a transaction record exceeding $180 million. The team aids Fortune 500 companies, private equity firms, venture capital funds, small enterprises, and individuals in acquiring and selling top-tier domains. A has previously purchased premium domains for branding purposes and sold two high-quality domains in 2004 and 2010, with both buyers maintaining market leadership in their respective industries. Currently, A has been engaged as a consulting advisor for the sale of the two-letter domain TB.com.
