Several online sources (including the Washington Post) have reported the sale of Russia.com to an undisclosed buyer for $1,500,000 USD. Russia.com is a nicely designed travel website offering hotel booking and flight reservations to cities throughout Russia.
The sale was first reported when it appeared on the homepage of Sedo as a completed transaction. The $1.5 million dollar sticker price caught the eye of several bloggers and industry professionals who monitor high dollar sales.
The domain is reported to have been previously owned by New Media Holdings and managed by Paley Media who offer publishing & web consultancy services. They list on their website a variety of projects they are involved in including AutoRacing.com, Musicians.com, and HorseRacing.com. Also listed are premium geo domain 
destinations like PuertoRico.com and Scotland.com.
Russia.ru is the most logical destination for native Russians since .ru is the official country code of Russia. However, the .com has sufficient global presence to generate substantial natural direct navigation to the Russia.com website. Premium domain names like Russia.com provide great opportunity for online investors.

DevHub is a website development platform which was introduced to the public within the past year. Based on my experience working with the software, it appears to be a step well beyond the typical “minisite” concept.
DevHub was created by Evo Media Group and its goal is to provide easy content creation (and editing) with less complexity than is normally required for custom html coding.
I have found that one can put up a basic, somewhat generic site with relative ease and which provides some desireable user functionality. However, you can introduce custom graphics and more sophisticated features if willing to 
invest more time in the development.
Development itself is a process which often evolves in stages. DevHub allows you the option of working effectively within time constraints since you can start off with a basic website that can grow. For a large portfolio owner, developing all of one’s domain properties can be a time intensive process. Premium domain names deserve quality attention & development, but often must begin as a simple concept that will become more complete with future development.
Charlotte.US is an example of a time intensive website that takes many weeks to complete (even on the user-friendly Wordpress format). By contrast, a website like Raleigh.info can be built with DevHub in about 5 to 8 hours. Below (and pictured right) are 
a variety of websites I developed in the last few weeks. All of them were done on DevHub. None of them are in their final stage …

I’ve been quite busy with domain name development this past week, but wanted to mention several happenings related to the domain name market.
1. Several of the .biz auctions which occurred at Sedo some weeks ago have finalized. Of note are these sales …
- 6.biz for $8,100
- S.biz at $8,211
- G.biz brought $9,400
- A.biz went for $10,099
- R.biz for $8,855
2. Michael Berkens of TheDomains.com wrote a brief piece about attorney Howard Neu having acquired and developed the premium domain name, MalpracticeAttorneys.com.
3. GoDaddy.com are now offering online incorporation for your business including the popular LLC (Limited Liability Corporation). The service also includes acquiring your Federal Tax ID number.
4. TChat.info was sold via Sedo for $18,000. Not familiar with this company or concept. Under construction webpage appears to be in French. Quite a sum for a non-generic domain name.
