One map, different kinds of money

The 75 records total $1.97B in listed figures. This mixes valuations, acquisition prices and unverified reports. It cannot be read as total spending on domain names.

Read the colors carefully

Colors describe website classifications, mostly inherited from March 2026 research. An active site does not prove profitability. A redirect may serve a useful purpose. These are not investment ratings.

An unavailable page leaves questions

The unresolved category includes failed page loads and access errors in the original research. A 403 response or certificate problem cannot establish that a business has closed. Business.com is active and Voice.com returned a contact page in this audit.

Start with the transaction evidence

Only 2 domain-only sales, totaling $45M, have primary transaction confirmation in this audit. Cars.com and Business.com illustrate why much larger financial figures need separate treatment.

Four figures, two very different meanings

These primary sources establish transaction scope. They do not establish return on investment.

75 of 75 domains

What this evidence can tell us

A price needs a definition.

The sourced examples show that a domain transaction, a business purchase and an intangible-asset valuation measure different things. Combining them into a spending headline obscures that distinction.

This inventory cannot establish profitability, a domain's contribution to revenue, SEO benefit or a market-wide price trend. Website availability supplies only a limited observation of public use.

Methodology & sources

Scope and calculations

A selected inventory of 75 premium .com records, not a complete or representative market sample. Values are nominal USD millions, as recorded, with no inflation or currency adjustment. The $1,972.99M total adds every listed amount, including estimates and valuations. The verified domain-only subtotal adds only the 2 records explicitly confirmed by a transaction participant. It is not an estimate of all verified sales in the market.

Verification and limitations

Primary-source audit: September 10, 2026. Four amounts were checked against an issuer filing, buyer announcement, seller announcement or transaction facilitator. Remaining amounts, years and transaction scopes are unverified legacy research. The original source list named NameBio, DN Journal, Wikipedia, GoDaddy and news reports without per-record citations. We do not imply those publishers confirmed every record.

Most website labels are inherited from March 2026 and have not been independently reproduced. Only Business.com and Voice.com were rechecked here. “Unresolved” covers legacy failures and ambiguous observations, not confirmed closures. For-sale and redirect labels do not imply a loss. Buyer identities, revenue estimates and unsupported causal claims were removed.
