Now, I never thought that data recovery could be sooooooooooooo hot as a topic or a business! Did you?
According to WikiPedia, Data recovery is the process of salvaging data from damaged, failed, corrupted, or inaccessible primary storage media when it cannot be accessed normally. Often the data are being salvaged from storage media formats such as hard disk drive, storage tapes, CDs, DVDs, RAID, and other electronics. This can be due to physical damage to the storage device or logical damage to the file system that prevents it from being mounted by the host operating system.
Now, a data recovery related website has been sold for a cool USD 17,000,000! Now, who would have thought of that? But apparently, that is the case!
This makes the deal one of the top 10 most expensive domain name acquisitions history.
The buyer, ESS Data Recovery Inc., is a US based company and seems to take its data recovery business really seriously! Kudos!
However, I’d like to see them develop the domain and optimize it for search engines as it has the potential to make it to the Top 10 search results organically.
What do you say, guys? š
