GoDaddy Inc’s subsidiary, GoDaddy Registry, has acquired the .club and .design domain extensions along with 28 other domain extensions and additional business assets from Minds + Machines Group (MMX). The consideration for select assets acquired is $120 million, but the financial terms for the .club and .design acquisition were not disclosed.

GoDaddy (GDDY) Registry Vice President and General Manager, Nicolai Bezsonoff, said, “GoDaddy Registry is committed to making more meaningful, memorable domain extensions available to all registrars, so their customers can find the perfect domain names for their business, brand or big idea.”

Bezsonoff also noted, “All three acquisitions support our growth strategy in unique ways by expanding our portfolio of generic, geo-targeted, and vertically-focused top-level domains.” (See GoDaddy stock analysis on TipRanks)
