Popular domain investor, Ammar Kubba, announced the acquisition of the domain name Ammar.com.
Currently forwarding to his About.Me page, the domain name changed hands today, after being sold apparently by French-Syrian journalist and photographer, Ammar Abd Rabbo.
Kubba did not disclose the sum he paid for acquiring his first name in a dot .com; it is expected to be five figures USD, at a minimum.
The domain Ammar.com was created in 1996, according to DomainTools.
Congratulations, Ammar! 😀
UPDATE 5/10/2015 : It appears that the domain has been reported stolen, for updated news click here.
I personally prefer lastname.com
Ammar also owns Kubba.com, so he is now complete.
Jamie – You forgot AmmarKubba.com also 😛
Just to make things clear : I am Ammar Abd Rabbo, and I did not sell “Ammar.com”, it is now under inquiry as it has been stolen or sold without my consent. I am checking with iCann as well as Network Solutions (my previous registrar), and there will be a lawsuit. This is a very unethical way of doing things. There was no “five figures deal” or anything like that. As soon as I know more about how this was done and more details I will keep you posted.
Hello Ammar – This is definitely shocking, please do share any information or news when it becomes available.
