Christian.com sells for $600,000

First there was Rosary.com for £48,388, then Jesus.net for £73,442. Now Christian.com has sold for a whopping £366,100 ($600,000 USD) in a private sale.

This summer has truly been an active one for Christian domains. As you can see, the sale of Christian.com far surpasses all other previous religion domain sales.

That being said, I think the name is worth considerably more. There are more than 1 billion Christians worldwide, so the domain has the potential to attract a very wide audience. I’ll leave it up to the theologians and porn stars to debate whether it has a larger market than sex.com, though.

Jesus.net sells for £73,442

Not only can Jesus turn water into wine, but he can sell domains, too. Jesus.net sold a few hours ago for a whopping £73,442 ($124,337 USD).

There seems to be quite a few religious domains selling at auction lately. Last month, Rosary.com sold for £48,388 and Biblical.com netted £10,000.

The sale of Jesus.net breaks the record previously set by Rosary.com for the highest-price Christian domain. Normally religion is a niche few pay attention to and there doesn’t seem to be any particular reason why these three premium names all sold within 30 days of each other.

If I had to guess how much Jesus.com is worth, I would say somewhere around £2 million, maybe more. Normally a .net is valued at 5% of the latest sale price of a .com, but in this case I don’t think the formula gives an accurate figure. Either way, whoever owns Jesus.com is sitting on a goldmine. Could it possible be worth more than Sex.com, the most valuable domain ever sold?
