A geozone is a virtual boundary formed around a physical location that handles specific traffic and data within that location. A geozone is created as part of a larger network, such as a mobile mesh, that provides location aware data to any device within the borders. Source: WyldNetworks.
The matching domain name, Geozone.com, was auctioned off on the domain auction marketplace, DropCatch. The auction ended today, ending at $2,051 dollars. DropCatch user afxxy5 was the winner of the auction for GeoZone.com:
Before its drop, GeoZone.com was a 23 year old domain, as it was registered in 1999.
In 2001, per the earliest WHOIS information stored by DomainTools, Maps a la carte, Inc. was the registrant. The related domain MapsALaCarte.com was deleted in 2016.
Was GeoZone.com an orphan domain?
Most likely, no. GeoZone.com was listed for sale on Afternic in 2015 and the domain was in the possession of Demand Media at the time. By 2016, the WHOIS info for GeoZone.com pointed to the matching Swiss domain GeoZone.ch.
Registered in 2009, the domain GeoZone.ch is currently for sale. Its DNS points to “ns1.wmd-ssd3.com” and “ns2.wmd-ssd3.com” the same as GeoZone.com prior to its deletion. We can safely assume that the registrant of GeoZone.ch just lost the matching .com domain, GeoZone.com.
