Sounds like a bargain to me..

I was $17,999,999 too short unfortunately.

**james2002** · 08-16-2009, 07:44 PM

Internet.com domain alone is worth 18 millions , IMO.

Its a total bargain.

I'm pretty sure this company was valuated at much more.

Plus they had hundreds of properties, guess the sold the good brands and kept the money makers.

**daily names** · 08-17-2009, 05:29 PM

A great deal, a boat load of cash for this economy, but a little development work will go a long way on some of these sites.

**draggar** · 08-17-2009, 05:30 PM

Wow, I wonder if this sale includes one of the longest running tech support forums on the internet (who was owned by Internet.com)?

**Provider** · 08-17-2009, 06:25 PM

I agree, this is a good deal. I think $18 mil is nothing for many companies to spend. I am pretty sure that there are companies out there spending 6 digits monthly on advertisement in IT sector. They could easily pay for this network more.
