“We’re pleased to have brokered such a high profile sale,” said Nora Nanayakkara, director of business development for Sedo UK. “Short generic names like 770.com are red hot commodities - far more so than a physical business address.

Sedo’s online marketplace now lists over 10.5 million Internet domain names. It holds regular auctions for buyers and sellers and provides services ranging from domain buying, selling and monetisation to brokerage services and Internet domain appraisals.

Internet advertising firm Electron Interactive has acquired the domain name Storage.com. The exact terms of the transaction were not disclosed, however, it is reported to be one of the largest domain name transactions in 2008.

“We are building out our local advertising network one major vertical at a time,” said Electron’s Chief Strategy Officer, Joe Davison. “We believe that category-defining, generic domain names like Storage.com are grossly undervalued compared to their power as consumer brands.”

In this case, the brand defines more than one multi-billion dollar industry: both self storage, and data storage.

“Subsequent to this acquisition, we will be making a major announcement in the coming weeks with regards to the future of the Storage.com domain name,” Davison said. “Ultimately, we’ll do whatever creates the most long-term value for Electron.”

Electron is considering several strategies for maximizing the impact these assets will have on earnings, which experienced rapid growth leading up to the acquisition. One strategy includes integrating Storage.com into their Electron Local™ platform — tying it into a global salesforce.

“We believe that Storage.com is the perfect domain name with which to demonstrate the Electron Local™ platform,” Davison continued. “We’ll literally revolutionize advertising in the storage industry overnight. Whether you need storage in Phoenix, New York, or Hong Kong, you should be able to find it on Storage.com.”

There is an auction going on at Sedo.com at the moment for the domain dollars.com. There are 4 days left till the end of the auction and the current high bid is a massive 750,000 Euro which equates to some
$1,187,590 USD.
