MySpace.com might have also been the company as well, I'm not sure. Register.com is well worth a million dollars. Do you know how much value Register.com has? You can register anything, and the keyword is highly typed-in daily. Try 374,000,000 back links in search engines, with Register.com is second, and fluxuates to first every now and then. Great name, great price!

So what is the highest then ?

MySpace sold for 580 million dollars just recently. I'm not sure if it was MySpace itself or the company, because 580 million is a lot of money, but I do know it was 580 million. I'm not sure a website has sold more than 580 million. There is this one, Register.com, and then there is ones for 7 million, 4 million, etc. I have yet to see one above the 580 million mark.
