KAU.com sells for $100,350, was it worth it ?

KAU.com sells for $100,350

KAU.com, a 3 letter .com domain name originally registered in 1996, was registered at Melbourne IT before it dropped.

DropCatch.com caught it, and the domain KAU.com went to auction post-registration with the final bid amounting to $100,350. It was a very interesting auction to watch till the last minute.

Kau.com is the Seventh LLL (3 letter) .com this year to be selling above $100k, as per NameBio.

Lets discuss Why it went for that high amount.

The youngest LLL .com in the world

Kau.com was registered since 1996 before it dropped, or as presumed, failed to be renewed by its previous owner.

According to a research, it was earlier owned by Sakurai Sekiyu, a Japanese energy company formed in 1960.

In the early 2000’s, KAU.com looked like an Internet services provider in Japan, according to Archive.org.

It was previously owned by a Japanese company. There are no trademarks for KAU as a standalone registration. Kau also happens to be the southernmost district on the island of Hawaii.

What does KAU mean ?

Kau is a form of the word “Buy” in Japanese, also means “You” in the Indonesian language, as per Google Translate.

A quick search on Google also yields Kau being a common Surname. So it can be either the Japanese “Buy”, Indonesian “You” or simply a Last name, or more interestingly, a First name. This is what it says about Kau being a first name: The meaning of the name Kau is First daughter after two sons Manu-tribe.

Two big domain names closed at DropCatch on Wednesday, October 28 2020. Kau.com closed at $100,350 and epara.com closed at $58,056. The Whois status of the domain as on November 1, 2020 is: Pending backorder/auction delivery at www.DropCatch.com so probably the financial transactions are being processed as of now.

I also noticed some very interesting existing websites on a quick search for the keyword “Kau”:

smero-kau.com

stoltzkau.com

siewert-kau.de

siewert-kau.com

davidkau.com

aaronkau.com

formulakau.com

fcit-kau.com

KayleneKau.com

Undeveloped.com changes to DAN.com

Undeveloped.com changes to DAN.com

One of the best platform for landing pages and a domain names marketplace, Undeveloped.com recently rebranded themselves as Dan.com

This move came as a result of recent updates in their system, which they define as “Our own blockchain network to automate all inefficient processes in the domain industry”

DAN meaning Domain Automation Network is about to bring in new changes in the domain name industry, according to them.

In an exclusive discussion with GoDomaining.com, Reza from DAN.COM further explains:

We use the blockchain to solve multiple problems.

1: In order to automate processes.

2: To create a new WHOIS where the data is irrefutable and always accurate.

3: To provide a trust-less automated escrow service where the buyer and seller can check what the “machine” has done via a public ledger.

4: To solve huge legal issues when you lease or rent a domain (in our whois 2.0 it’s clear who’s liable for the content on a domain under a payment plan)

5: To offer fractional domain ownership and a domain investment dashboard so domainers can attract capital to invest in their portfolio’s

and lastly 6: due to Domain Automation we can now scale new models like renting a domain easily.

Dan.com wanted to bring more transparency into the domain name marketplace and make it easier for businesses and individuals to find, buy and transfer domains with flexible domain purchase options, such as lease to own.
