Country Codes

The ccTLDs logged a nice quintet of five-figure sales led by Hike.in (Indian country code) at $32,000 via Sedo. Those names (all noted in our all extension section above) fill the first five slots on our new Country Code Top 20 Sales Chart. The highest transaction in this category that you haven't seen yet is Sedo's $7,860 sale of #6 Werkzeuge.de. 

Sedo went on to sweep 18 of the 20 chart entries with a roster that included a nice .US sale, #7 Lawyer.us at $7,500. Two venues managed to crack Sedo's stranglehold on the ccTLD chart - DomainNameSales with #9 Happi.co.uk at $6,000 and the AfternicDLS with #10 Champions.nu at $5,500. 

Germany's .de scored an easy win in the extension race, piling up nine chart entries. The only other TLD with multiple names on the leader board was Great Britain's .co.uk with three. The remaining eight spots went to eight different countries.

Here is how the ccTLD leaders stacked up for the week ending Sunday, April 15:

There were dozens of additional four-figure ccTLD sales off the chart with Sedo accounting for the vast majority of those with a list that included Händlercheck.de (IDN) and WebCRM.de at $3,275 each. Sofortkredit24.de added $2,751, Dein-Fernstudium.de and Prescrire.fr provided $2,670 apiece and TrafficManager.de delivered $2,488. 

Sedo had 35 more four-figure ccTLD sales ranging from $1,000 to $2,400 that are listed in the table below:

Elsewhere DomainLore.co.uk sold StudentCarInsurance.co.uk for $1,120 while The AfternicDLS picked up $1,000 each for eCig.us and Shelter.co.

Non .com gTLDs (.biz, .info, .mobi, .net, .org, .asia, .pro & .tel)

While the non .com gTLDs made a huge splash with Movies.xxx at $90,000 it was the only reported sale in this category to reach five figures. The next domain on our new Non .Com gTLD Top 20 Chart - Scars.net - was a distant second after changing hands for $8,000 at DomainHoldings.com.

The AfternicDLS filled the next two slots with a pair of three-letter domains; SST.net ($5,500) and BMB.org ($5,000). They went on to pile up 10 of the 21 chart entries, more than any other venue (the extra spot resulted from a tie for the final position).

Sedo was right behind with nine charted domains including #5 Flüssiggas.info (IDN) at $4,833, one of two .infos on the leader board. The .nets easily won the extension race with 11 chart entries, followed by .org with six. .Biz, .pro and .xxx each had one. 

Here's how all of the Non .Com gTLD leaders stacked up for the week ending Sunday, April 15:
