Rai Yin sports recently released announcement, said will to not below 150 million yuan of price, acquisition country wide holding holds of Chinese network (Hong Kong) technology limited (Chinese network Hong Kong), and Beijing China network meeting pass technology service limited (China network meeting pass) 100% of equity, both will based on existing of network platform--Chinese network, build "brand sports" of multimedia network platform, while both will through country wide holding its media resources, expand full field of business cooperation.

Worth noting is that specifically mentioned in the notice, Rhine sports will inherit the CDC (China.com) domain names and trademarks .

If you are not familiar with CDC completely, then see the top-level domain of China.com, surely there can be moved. Described in the bulletin, CDC is representative of the reputation and image of China's portal website. In line with its domain name, which seems to be nothing wrong with the introduction of.

In July 1999, the CDC as the first "China concept stocks" in the United States NASDAQ, according to Lin Jun describing the history of the Chinese Internet industry introduced the boiling for 15 years, success and even exceeded expectations. CDC initially intended to sell 4.2 million new shares priced from $ 14 to $ 16 per share, and later because the market was enthusiastic, Lehman Brothers plans to pricing rose to $ 17 to $ 19, the final price is much higher than expected. On July 12, 1999, the CDC issued per share price of us $ 20, available for sale at the IPO and GreenShoe allotment portion of the total financing amount of $ 96 million. 13th listing on NASDAQ, when share prices rise to $ 67, then stabilised to around 45 dollars, "good market performance of rather unusual."

A person who specializes in domain names for years told reporters, CDC China.com domain name value is difficult to measure, starting at selling at least a million, if sincere buyers, tens of millions of billions in transactions are possible. But before the 150 million sold, CDC portal site business contributed HK $ 90.8 million (71.83 million RMB) sold nation wide Universal Media Holdings Limited and, of course, which also contains the domain name.

"Name" may be the starting point for image and value creation. According to statistics, in 2007, the United States vacation rental network HomeAway founder Brian? xiapulaisi (Brian Sharples) to VacationRentals.com domains cost 35 million dollars in 2012, PrivateJet.com domain names to be sold at $ 30.18 million. In recent years, also has big ticket domain name sale.

Last February, reported 360 buy 360.com international top domain names cost $ 17 million, equivalent to the same billions. Compared with China.com "national image" bonus offer of 150 million Yuan, and seems to be high and low are hard to judge.

中华网1.5亿遭“贱卖”，china.com域名值几何？ - 中华网,莱茵体育 - IT资讯

莱茵体育近日发布公告，称将以不低于1.5亿元的价格，收购国广控股持有的中华网(香港)科技有限公司(中华网香港)、北京华网汇通技术服务有限公司(华网汇通)100%的股权，双方将基于现有的网络平台——中华网，打造“品牌 体育”的多媒体网络平台，同时双方将通过国广控股旗下媒介资源，展开全领域的业务合作。

值得注意的是，公告中特意提及，莱茵体育将继承中华网(china.com)域名及商标。

如果你对中华网全然不熟悉，那么看到china.com的顶级域名，想必也会有些心动。按照公告介绍，中华网是代表中国名声和形象的门户网站。配合其域名，这样的介绍似乎并无不妥。

1999年7月，中华网作为第一只“中国概念股”在美国纳斯达克上市，据林军描述中国互联网产业历史的《沸腾十五年》介绍，当时的成功甚至超出预想。中华网最初拟发售420万新股，每股定价14美元至16美元，后来因市场反映热烈，雷曼兄弟公司计划将定价升至17美元至19美元，最终售价远高于预期。1999年7月12日，中华网以每股20美元的定价发行，发售新股加绿鞋配售部分的总融资额达到9600万美元。13日开始在纳斯达克挂牌，当天股价翻升至67美元，此后回稳至45美元左右，“市场表现之好相当不同寻常”。

一位专业从事域名研究多年的人士向记者表示，中华网china.com的域名，价值难以估量，售卖至少是百万起价，如果遇到诚心的买主，几千万乃至上亿元成交都不无可能。而在此次1.5亿卖身之前，中华网门户网站等业务就作价9080万港元(约7183万人民币)售予国广环球传媒控股有限公司，当然，其中也包含域名。

“名字”可能是形象和价值塑造的起点。据统计，2007年，美国度假房屋租赁网HomeAway创始人布赖恩?夏普莱斯(Brian Sharples)为VacationRentals.com域名花费了3500万美元；2012年，PrivateJet.com域名以3018万美元的价格出售。在近年，也有大手笔的域名买卖。

去年2月，报道称360为购买360.com这一国际顶级域名花费1700万美元，折合人民币同样过亿。与之比较，china.com自带“国家形象”加成，1.5亿元的收购价，似乎就难断高低。
