“Z.com”, one of only four single-character domain names available with the .com top-level domain, is the global brand of the Japan-headquartered GMO Internet Group. The Japanese group acquired the domain name "www.z.com" for a reported ¥800 million ($6.8 million). The price stems from the rarity of single letter domain names, of which there are only four available. The domain name purchase was an important step in GMO’s plan to spearhead its global growth strategy.
