Another million-plus domain: Flying.com

Last week, the list of million-dollar domains grew. Flying.com sold for $1.1 million.

Its buyer was the company UsedAirplances, which plans to open an online store of used aircraft on the website.

The company paid the highest price for the domain due to the popularity of the search term "flying." Search engines process over 20 million queries related to this word each month. A similar domain name, Fly.com, sold last year for $1.8 million.

Let's recall other major acquisitions this year: the Credit.fr domainsoldfor half a million euros,Poker.org was acquiredfor $1 million. In addition, the auction also includesSex.com domain, which was sold in 2006 for $12-14 million.
