End user domain purchases from the past week, namely last week of July 2012.
Before we jump in with this week’s end user sales report, I have a warning for the famous TED conferences: be careful with your new domain. TED bought xNetwork.org for $1,788. I’m not sure what it plans to use it for, but it should think twice before using this domain. The problem is that xNetwork.com is owned by an adult entertainment company offering “free legal images” for webmasters. Although the site’s homepage is safe for work, many people trying to reach xNetwork.org will undoubtedly end up going to xNetwork.com.
