NameMedia and Upscale Domainers

The NYT has a decent piece in Monday’s paper about NameMedia, the well-capitalized domaining company with more than $100m behind it. It competes with iREIT and Marchex, among others.

Some quick stats:

  • 1.4 million domain names
  • 60-million monthly visitors
  • Backed by Summit and Highland, plus GS debt
  • Company revenue doubled to $60-million in 2006

    these guys constantly keep hyping domain name values to push prices up. having dealt with most of these big mouths, they don’t wanna pay more than a $100 for a decent portfolio.
    they constantly lie of their profits and never mention of expenses. show the financials of p&l and we will believe.
    liars all.
