A Libyan domain name<\/a> has surprised the market by selling for a six-figure sum.<\/p>\n

Enterprise applications and services company Infor has set an impressive marker for domain names ending with a .ly country code top level domain.<\/p>\n

The firm is reported to have paid around $100,000 for the rights to local.ly, which was previously owned by a company called Libyan Spider.<\/p>\n

According to TechCrunch, the firm’s owner, Hadi Naser, owns several hundred premium .ly domain names.<\/p>\n

Last year, the company cashed in on the domain name dai.ly, which it sold to DailyMotion for $17,000.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the domain name song.ly is reported to have sold for a $50,000 sum.<\/p>\n

There are around 200 county code top level domain names currently in use, such as Colombia’s .co, Australia’s .au and the UK’s .co.uk.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
