Country Codes

One of the year's 12 biggest country code sales set the pace for the ccTLDs this week. Wrapp.de leads our latest Country Code Top 20 Sales Chart at $45,215 via MissDomain.com. We told you about that sale (and #2 Lampa.pl) in the all extension section above, so the biggest country code sale you haven't seen yet is #3 Fikus.ru, a Russian domain that sold for $9,146 at Sedo. 

Sedo went on to sweep 18 of the 20 chart entries and they rounded out the first five with #4 Lennot.fi (Finaland's extension) at $8,385 and #5 TCC.co.uk at $8,050. 

NetFleet.com.au helped keep Sedo from running the board by taking the final spot in the top ten with BathurstRealEstate.com.au at $5,552. 

Germany's .de won the extension race with five chart entries. The only other TLDs with multiple positions were Great Britain's .co.uk and Russia's .ru with two each. In a remarkably diverse week, ten other countries had representatives on the leader board.  

Here is how the ccTLD leaders stacked up for the week ending Sunday, May 6:

There were dozens of additional four-figure ccTLD sales off the chart led by a pack of five  domains at Sedo that went for $2,580 each. That group included Celio.co.uk, Concubine.fr, Streetline.de, Surinam.de and Webcast.nl.

Sedo had 40 more four-figure ccTLD sales ranging from $1,000 to $2,500 that are listed in the table below:

Elsewhere NetFleet.com.au sold HousesForRent.com.au ($1,457), CellarDoor.com.au ($1,206) and FitnessInstructor.com.au ($1,037) while DomainLore.co.uk moved EuroRate.co.uk for $1,127.

The non .com gTLDs managed just one five-figure sale this week, HotSpot.net at $11,610 via Sedo. That domain tops our new Non .Com gTLD Top 40 Chart with another Sedo sale, Tunesien.net, filling the #2 slot at $5,805. 

.Nets swept the first six chart entries, including #3 with the YummyNames/AfternicDLS sale of HeadSet.net at $4,250. The .orgs finally got on the board at #7 with an AfternicDLS sale of Observation.org at $3,500. The AfternicDLS went on to pile up 10 of the 20 chart entries.

The .nets held on to their early lead to win the extension race by taking 11 positions on the leader board. The .orgs followed with 7 leaving  two spots that were both taken by .infos.
