Reading on Elliots blog that Mike Mann the veteran US domainer has 3 companies in the prestigious fastest growing 500 American companies list.

These companies are all domain lead.

Phone.com
DomainMarket.com
Seo.com

Just shows the power of a domain !

Will we ever see anything similar in the UK ? I'd like to think so but doubt it.

"The 2012 Inc. 500|5000 is ranked according to percentage revenue growth when comparing 2008 to 2011. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2008. They had to be U.S.-based, privately held, for profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2011. (Since then, a number of companies on the list have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2008 is $100,000; the minimum for 2011 is $2 million."


It would be good to see similar on .co.uk - is there an equivalent Inc 500 for the UK?

There was a further article about DomainMarket here:
http://www.elliotsblog.com/domainmarket-com-2-1-million-in-revenue-0745

If one reads the comments, it appears that there is a lot of revenue, but not that much profit (something like $2.1 million revenue less renewal fees on 300,000 domains less salaries of 9 employees and office expenses).

I've used Phone.com and recommend them if you need a phone number anywhere in the US or a US toll free number.
