VOIP.us Sells for $25,000

DN Journal reports that VOIP.us sold for a very handsome $25,000. VOIP.us is an exceptionally intuitive, high profile, keyword domain name and it is worth every penny of the sale price. VOIP (or Voice over IP) technology is catching on fast as people all over the country are realizing how much money they can save on their long distance phone bill by making those calls over their high speed Internet connections. But, here's the twist: the new owner thinks that the name has even more potential with the "Video over IP" connotation of this name. Time will tell if he's right.

This is also great news for .US domain name holders, as this sale sets a pretty exciting precedent: $25,000 is the highest price ever paid for a .US name. The last big .US sale was Industry.us which sold for $17,000 back in mid-March of this year.
