“Flippa, the #1 marketplace in the world for buying and selling websites, domains, and apps today announced that it has acquired the leading outbound premium domain name brokerage company, Domain Holdings Group.
The combined Flippa and Domain Holdings Group entities are projected to hit $70m in sales over the next 12 months, rivaling the likes of Sedo and GoDaddy in aftermarket sales.

Commenting on the acquisition today John said, “We’re thrilled for the Domain Holdings team to join Flippa. We’ve been watching the Flippa marketplace go from strength-to-strength. The combination of these two companies will create a powerful sales platform for domain names and web sites that will be hard to beat.”
