Though it is no longer news that Gold.co.uk is one of the most costly country code ever sold in the history of internet; it was sold in 2015, to the founder of Jewellery Quarter Bullion Company, a Birmingham, UK-based online gold dealer Mr. Rob Halliday-Stein for a whooping sum of £600,000 ($940,000).

The domain’s WHOIS report has previously shown the same company as the owner of the domain since July, 11^th 2013, before the public announcement. We realized that the payment was just completed and that was why it was not made public before now.

Possible Liquid Domain Name extensions To Watch in 2016

Here are the possible domain extensions to watch in 2016 for good investment; the domain extensions as .club, .me, and .net are promising and for Chinese domains - are short domain combo’s .com, .xyz, .cc and .cn as you knew; there are others like two short character combos; such as LN.com, NL.com and CC.com. But if you are going for .cc and .cn extensions, you just have to watch it very well, because there are lots of great risks at owning .cc and .cn cctlds as your domain. 

The Chinese government can just wake up on a day and seize your domain ownership. Yes! Communism is just like that, they can do an undo and they could go with it. If you remember; there was series of litigation sometime last year for some domain investors to buy typical domains that are not in line with Chinese laws and order. Are you also aware of Google's conflict with China and what follows?  Though! old story, but just trying to show you that anything could happen in this industry especially from China.
