Dot com domains matching animals are extremely rare and Dog.com would be one of them.
The dog has been the top domesticated animal and companion of humans for thousands of years and there’s no doubt that Dog.com would be a priceless domain asset, on top of being a developed web site and business about dog products.
How much did Dog.com sell for in the past?
NameBio does not have the selling price, which has been hiding in plain sight for the past 14 years!
According to an article on Inc.com, serial entrepreneur and domain investor, Alexander “Alex” Tabibi, acquired the domain Dog.com in 2004, along with his partner and brother, Carlo Tabibi.
The dynamic duo acquired several domain assets of a pet product company, Dog Inc., among which was the premium domain Dog.com. In the process, they formed the company Pets United.
According to the Inc.com article from 2007, they paid $500,000 dollars for the domain name Dog.com in 2004.
The sale would be ranked at the #3 spot for 2004 per DNJournal, sharing the spot with the domain Aladdin.com.
It’s incredible how such unreported sales are out there in the open. The Tabibi brothers acquired Horse.com, Fish.com, Bird.com, and Ferret.com among other animal domains, turning down Hamster.com.
Alexander Tabibi operates Weed.com, a company that has filed for the registration of the matching trademark at the USPTO.
