On the evening of February 3, news came that Qihoo 360 had spent heavily to acquire the international top-level domain 360.com, at a price of $17 million, about over 100 million yuan. Just now, IT Home queried the whois info of 360.com; the info shows 360.com indeed now belongs to Beijing Qihoo Technology Co., Ltd., and the domain’s update time is today, February 3, and it has been transferred to the Ename China management platform.
The domain 360.com was acquired by Qihoo 360 from the foreign company Vodafone. Vodafone is a multinational mobile phone operator and one of the world’s largest mobile communications operators. Currently entering this domain still points to Vodafone’s official website. It is reported that 360 negotiated with Vodafone over 360.com for 3 years; the other side once rejected a $14 million offer, and now 360, having spent a lot, finally got the 360.com domain.
