Cloud computing start-up VMOps announced the acquisition of a great domain this week: Cloud.com. It bought the name from Meetup co-founder Scott Heiferman for an undisclosed price.
VMOps will rebrand itself as Cloud.com. Whatever price the firm paid for the name, I think it was worth it. Cloud.com is short, memorable, and catchy. It it will let VMOps brand itself as a leader in the cloud computing industry.
Although no price was revealed, it wouldn’t surprise me if the name sold for at least $1 million. Domains this expensive trade hands on a regular basis out of view of the public eye.
