Below you’ll find a list of 225 premium domain names owned by public and private companies around the globe.
This list has been updated regularly for the past 15 years; and over the years, the trend is clear. Large- and Medium-cap companies and well-funded startups have purchased domain names from smaller companies. Once the larger company or well-funded startup has the domain name, it will never be for sale again.
This is just a small sample, but it really gives you an idea of the number of companies throughout the world that have invested in premium .com domain names as part of their overall internet & marketing strategy to generate traffic, increase sales, increase global brand awareness, and increase all kinds of other digital marketing and growth metrics.
Although there is some overlap, there are two primary categories of premium, one-word domain names.
Brand and Exact Match Domain Names:
Brand Domain Names
- Just what they sound like – they represent the corporate name of a company or name of a brand that the company has. Many times, a generic domain name that’s used as a brand is also used as a brand for other companies, too. In some cases, hundreds of companies use the same name.
- Examples include: Apple.com, Candy.com, Delta.com, Fly.com, Galaxy.com, Hippo.com, Mercury.com, and Tesla.com.
Exact Match Domain Names
- Describe what the company makes, sells, or otherwise does as a category.
- Examples include: Bikes.com, Blinds.com, Coffee.com, Cars.com, Drugstore.com, Economy.com, Flowers.com, Glasses.com, Insurance.com, LifeInsurance.com, Movies.com, Shoes.com, and Tires.com.
Globally, many public companies have digital marketing teams that use both Brand and Exact Match domain names for maximum online brand and marketing success. It may seem like a lot of work, but if you’re in digital marketing, it would help you to look at every single link below to see how other enterprise level companies are doing things.
One final thing worth noting, the bigger the company, the more important it is to have an assortment of Brand and Exact Match domain names in their digital marketing arsenal. These domain names may seem expensive but they’re ONE TIME capital investments that benefit the company for as long as it’s in business.
