Facebook Buys FB.com and FB.biz

December 08, 2010 in News




After months of speculation, it’s confirmed that Facebook has acquired the domain name FB.com from American Farm Bureau.

In addition to FB.com, Facebook purchased FB.biz during two letter domain auction put on by Neustar, the .biz registry. The company registered the name under DNStination Inc, which is associated with the domain registrar MarkMonitor. Facebook used this same group when they acquired FB.com from American Farm Bureau.

Interestingly enough, American Farm Bureau still owns FB.org.
