Premium Domain Power Play

OpenAI secured ownership of Chat.com, directing traffic to its flagship ChatGPT platform.

The coveted domain, registered in 1996, stands among the internet’s earliest registered addresses.

High-Stakes Domain Deal

Former owner Dharmesh Shah, HubSpot’s co-founder, revealed the sale through X.

The domain previously made headlines under Shah’s ownership, commanding a remarkable $15.5 million price tag – ranking among top domain sales ever recorded.

Strategic Digital Real Estate

The acquisition suggests OpenAI’s aggressive brand protection strategy rather than a platform shift.

The company maintains ChatGPT’s original infrastructure, using Chat.com purely for redirection purposes, though specifics of the deal remain undisclosed.
