Oracle or 1 million dollars sell sum.com domain name

Beijing time March 19 afternoon news, Oracle spent 7.4 billion dollars last year to buy Sun, not only won a lot of users, technology and talent, but also has the world's coolest Internet domain name--sun.com. Oracle is now voluntarily abandoning the site and possibly selling the domain name.　　Experts estimate that if Oracle chooses to sell sun.com, the final deal price could reach $1 million or even higher.　　The value of sun.com domain names is between 1 million and 2 million dollars, says Jeff Kupietzky, Oversee.net CEO of the U.S. domain name trader. "3-letter domain name is very short, and very good to remember." This word is very common and has a high search volume.　　"he said. "Sun.com is attractive because it can be used in a number of areas," said Paul Nicks, director of the Paul Nix go Daddy, a US domain registrar. Solar companies are suitable, and domain-name investors or other interested people may also bid.　　"The Knicks estimate that if the domain is auctioned, the final deal price will be between 800,000 and 900,000 dollars."　　Kemer Thomson, senior manager of Oracle product development, said in Thursday that Oracle would deactivate sun.com on June 1 and move useful content to oracle.com, Kemor Thomson.　　Currently, access to sun.com through the browser will be jump to Oracle's homepage, but in the sun.com domain name many personal blogs and technology pages can still be accessed. Sun's deactivation has sparked a lot of nostalgia for technicians. "Sun.com was the first website I visited when I was surfing the internet in London in 1995," he said. If I remember correctly, it was advertised on the back of a British magazine.　　A note on Sun's blog wrote. sun.com, registered on March 19, 1986, is the 11th-oldest. com domain name that is still being used.　　It is worth mentioning that Oracle also has the 3rd old domain name think.com.　　Oracle has yet to comment on the way sun.com is handled, but the company has many options. Oracle, for example, can advertise on the site in collaboration with Third-party companies. Data from the United States Internet traffic monitoring agency Alexa shows that the flow of sun.com is still impressive, ranking No. 2277 in the world.　　In addition, Oracle can retain the domain name for future brands to prepare, or grabs. "Many people regard domain names as an important investment. This domain name can continue to remain, waiting for the price increase.　　"Kupiaski said. Jason Miner, senior vice president of Namemedia Sales and business development at the U.S. domain name trading market, Jensen Miller the price of sun.com at least 1 million dollars. But this price is not unprecedented.　　In 2010, Zip.com sold 100 of dollars in high prices, dating.com the price of $1.75 million, T-shirts.com also sold 1.26 million dollars. Of course, all these assumptions are based on Oracle's continued registration of the domain name. According to the latest data, sun.com will expire on March 20, 2012, and if Oracle forgets to register then someone else can get the domain name for 10 dollars. (PEI)
