These were the top five stories on Domain Name Wire last month, ranked by pageviews.

1. Hubspot acquired connect.com domain for $10 million – The marketing company paid top dollar to purchase connect.com for a new social network.

2. Why I sold my PayPal shares – The company’s latest issue with a domain name company is just a sign of how poorly the payments platform treats its customers. And don’t get me started on Venmo, which it also owns.

3. GoDaddy paid $71.4 million for Dan.com – The registrar disclosed the purchase price in its quarterly SEC report.

4. NFTs.com domain sells for whopping $15 million – There’s a confusing connection between the broker and the buyer, but the deal was handled through Escrow.com.

5. Namecheap appears ready to fight Unstoppable Domains – Namecheap’s CEO tweeted that it would support the owner of .wallet in Handshake. The owner subsequently filed to intervene in a lawsuit.
