Media Options has just acquired the generic domain Racoon.com, registered in 1995.
The intelligent animal was used as a mascot for a herpes information web site, from 1995 up until earlier this month.
“The Original Herpes Home Page was founded in 1995 for the purpose of providing anonymous support relating to this unfairly stigmatized disease.”
Regardless of its prior use for more than 20 years, Andrew Rosener, founder of Media Options, is convinced that Racoon.com is a domain worthy of a great brand:
“Just acquired Racoon.com ! Great logo and brand potential. Also wide open namespace for any startup or company looking for a new product or service brand.”
Often spelled as “raccoon,” the domain Racoon.com is a great addition to Rooster.com, acquired last year by Media Options.
At the same time, Rosener announced the acquisition of the two letter domain, VX.org.
Racoon.com – Used as the Herpes Home Page since 1995.
