Following the purchase of Sun Microsystems by Oracle last year for
$7.4 billion, Oracle has decommissioned the website for Sun and so
potentially could put one of the choicest domain names sup for sale –
sun.com, reports IDG.
Sun.com domain name could be worth between $1 and $2 million, estimated Jeff Kupietzky, CEO of Oversee.net, speaking to IDG.
"At just three letters it is short and memorable," he said, in an email
interview. "It is a positive word that has a high search volume."
"Sun.com is appealing because it could be used in a number of ways,"
said Paul Nicks, director of domain aftermarket services for the Go
Daddy registrar. "Solar power companies, companies with 'sun' currently
in their name, domain name investors or anyone looking to leverage the
history behind the name could have a bidding interest."
Nicks meanwhile believes the domain name could be worth between $800,000 and $900,000.
Of course, this is if Oracle decides to offload the domain name.
