BREAKING: Cloud.com Being Bought For $200 Million ? $250 Million = WOW!

http://www.thedomains.com/2011/07/12...omment-page-1/

The site already shows as being a part of Citrix.

http://www.cloud.com

That's a hefty price tag. :2 cents:

Lol about what is that site ?

hell of a price tag for sure!

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-0...re-amazon.html

That a better source for you?

That's a crapload of money.

dang! why cant i have a time machine and go back and buy this :1orglaugh

I bet the owner of clouds.com is pissed :1orglaugh

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

It's not just the domain, it's the entire company.

talk about missing the train :winkwink:

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh


200 millions, that is more than crazy, that is i dont know what to say

That's just insane!

Some domainers are fucking idiots.

How do you feel about people commenting on articles without understanding what they are about?

Exactly. And that's what these fucking idiots have done. They are buying a company, not a domain. One guy writes it and the rest copy it over, including the OP. Fucking idiots!

Hahahah I can just picture some of the people that have already replied here telling their friends 'you see some idiot paid $200 mil for the domain cloud.com' Hahahhaha classic

I never said it was for just the domain.

Cloud.com includes Openstack as well as commercial products that are in their infancy. It may end up being a bargain, it gives Citrix some pretty big influence since they already control the development of XEN.

Domain and company

You sure made it sound like that is what you thought. What is so "WOW" about one company buying another company for $250M.

Congrats to the winners

I think the value of my cloud domain just went up. YAY lol

It's the gfy way.

The transition from the PC Era to the Cloud Era is expected to fuel a massive build out in cloud infrastructure, creating a new market projected to exceed $11 billion by the end of 2013, according to industry analysts(1).

holy crap thats a pretty penny

I WISH it was me.

Hope you're right, Brad:-)! I own these:

The "wow" part for me was explained in what you quoted, are you able to comprehend that?
:error

God damn what a buncha idiots, does no one know how to fucking read?

It is a company and product not just a domain name.

they should make the money back very fast. zynga to start

so now every domainer on gfy will pick up 100s of ____cloud.com and cloud____.com domains... :1orglaugh

i have oldmanyellingatacloud.com perfect for a vintage porn content store pm me.

:1orglaugh dont forget ___SKYPE.com and ___POPCAP.com. Since none of them had a business behind them right :upsidedow, just the domain :1orglaugh good luck to those who can't read.

It's not for just the domain. It's also not for just the company. It's for both.

Cloud.com is a very healthy 7-figure domain if not 8-figure in today's landscape - that industry is booming like crazy and there's many huge companies in it now. Consider how much that domain contributed to the company's success with it and how much the current value of it contributes to that deal - it's not a part of the deal to be ignored.

$200 mil just for a simple domain is way too much

i was just checking getoffofmycloud.com - too bad someone else knows that song too - lol

Lol good luck with those...

those domains suck :2 cents:

It's probably a good thing that they got a whole company and stuff, too, huh?

I have :

cloudcumshots.com
cloudpissing.com
cloudfisting.com
interracialcloud.com
blackclouds.com
blackcockcloud.com
cloudcunts.com
cuckoldcloud.com
hairyclouds.com
goldenshowercloud.com
icloudporntubesite.com

All category killers, $xx,xxx serious offers only.

big biz.

GO CLOUD YOURSELF :D
