US man gets $2.6m for domain name: 43-year old American Chris Clark who lives in North Potomac, Maryland, has sold the domain name pizza.com for $2.6m (£1.3m) - after maintaining the site for just $20 a year since 1994. In January, Mr Clark decided to sell it in an online auction after hearing that another domain - Vodka.com - was sold for $3m in 2006.

It's crazy, it's just crazy. It will make a significant difference in my life, for sure...If someone's willing to pay that much for Vodka.com, maybe there's more interest in pizza.com.

The online auction was launched on 27 March. The first bid was $100, jumping to $2.6m a week later.
