If Americans could spell, the top selling domain name for the week to 5 December could easily gone for a much higher price. The domain, color.com, sold for $350,000 through Go Daddy to easily top the Domain Name Journal sales chart, almost seven times the amount the next highest domain name sold for. Of course, “color” does not mean a lot to Brits, Aussies, Kiwis and other English speakers

Prince.com was the top selling domain name in the week to 22 August according to the Domain Name Journal list of top reported sales, selling for $235,000 through MediaOptions.

There were more non-.COM domain names in the weekly Domain Name Journal top 20 list in the week to 18 July than .COM names for the second consecutive week, the first time this has happened in the seven years in which DNJ has been compiling its weekly list of reported domain name sales. In both weeks there were 11 non-.COM domains and obviously nine .COM domains. And fitting in with the inroads the non.COM names are making into the sales charts, it was poker.ca with the top sale of the week, selling for $400,000 through Moniker/SnapNames.

The biggest domain name sale for the year-to-date topped Domain Name Journal’s list of reported sales for the week to May 2. The sale was for photo.com, sold through Moniker for $1,250,000
