.IO DOMAINS

The reason .io domains are so valuable is because companies that use .io domains are known as being great at what they do. This blog post explains it well:

"These new .io sites are almost artisanal in nature - small, well crafted and functional. It's like a TLD for techies with taste."

They are also short, sound good, and .io domains perform well in Google's search results. The reason for this is because they've been added to the geotargetable domains list.

Check out this beautiful trend and growth of popularity of .io domains.

Microsoft bought Doc.io for $24,600, Elasticsearch just bought es.io for $30,000, and sports.io, mega.io, analytics.io, and groups.io recently sold for $10k+.

A lot of the tech startups that use .io domains are now very successful businesses, further reinforcing the idea that companies that use .io domains are "in the know" and part of the sophisticated tech crowd.

Check out just some of these examples:

• Google just acquired spider.io
• Easel.io was acquired by github last year
• Keen IO just raised $11.3 million
• Nitrous.io just closed a $6.65 million Series A round
• Ginger.io raised $6.5 million
• Tuition.io raised $6 million and manages over $1 billion in student loans
• Intercom raised $6 million
• Greenhouse raise $2.7 million
• kontakt.io raised $2 million
• Luma.io acquired by Instagram
• Rackspace acquires Exceptional.io
• And many more

But it's not only startups that use .io domains. Google, Microsoft and Yahoo are also buying .io domains.

Microsoft snapped up Doc.io for $24,600. Google owns Coupons.io, Yahoo owns Player.io, and Disney owns go.io, amongst others.

Even the US government is happy to use .io domains.

Blog posts have been written on the new-found popularity of .io domains. Such as this post: The Rise of .io Domain Names for APIs.

Wikipedia also notes: ".io domains are popular with new startup companies."
