After getting $3 Million for the domain name, Candy.com is finally hosting an online store for candies. You name a candy and Candy.com has it for you , no matter where you are in the U.S. The site is now owned by G&J Holdings an online candy retailer and we hope they are able to sell candies fast enough to prove that $3 Million domain name wasn’t a bad move at all. I had said so earlier that the name is unique and deserved every cent off that price, though I was a bit skeptic about what exactly its buyer do about it, of course other than selling candies.

image thumb32 And there are people who will buy Candy for $3 Million (they just did)If you own a very creative (read simply creative) domain on the web, you are lucky. Why? Well if it attracts someone with a sizeable value in cash, you will be a millionaire by simply signing it off to someone else. Presently, Candy.com has been purchased by G&J Holdings for $3 million. Quite expensive for a candy, anyone will pay that much when you have got close to a million searches a month for the word alone. Now each name on the web is unique and creative enough, but what makes it worth all that cash is how much traffic that particular web property pulls in and secondly how simply creative is the domain name and Candy.com has both. Reports state that G&J will be using the domain to become the online store for candies. Talk about an expensive bite.
