December 15, 2005 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Cleveland Entrepreneur Tony Colan and partner Ed Harrison announced on Thursday they have purchased the domain blogster.com (blogster.com), for $100,000.
The site’s programmers rewrote the entire software for blogster.com and took the site live on Thanksgiving Day. The redesigned site features image hosting, a user-friendly interface and pre-designed templates, which provides continuity and easy navigation for blogsters.
“We were attracted to the name immediately,” says Tony Colan, VP of Blogster.com. “Blogging is no longer just for teens, techies and political pundits. The growth, we expect, will be explosive, and as a result, we were willing to pay a premium for a domain that will help us build brand awareness in the marketplace.”
Colan and Harrison recently sold their successful pay-per-click search Web site, wholesale411.com, to Washington, DC-based online liquidator Liquidity Services. A recent S-1 notice of going public by LSI, listed the deal at over $3 million.
