About

WiChorus is a domain marketplace specializing in the sale of unique domain names aimed at entrepreneurs and businesses seeking to enhance their online presence. WiChorus was founded in 2005 and is headquartered in Santa Clara, US. The company operates primarily as a standalone business, providing a platform for domain name sales. In October 2009, WiChorus was acquired by Tellabs in a Trade Sale valued at USD 165 mn, marking a significant pivot in its business operations.


WiChorus. com operates as an online domain marketplace, offering a wide variety of domain names for sale. Customers can purchase domain names, including its featured domain, WiChorus. com, priced at USD 3,195 or opt for a payment plan.


The platform serves entrepreneurs, businesses, and individuals looking to establish their online presence, facilitating secure transactions and providing rapid domain access. Additionally, WiChorus offers WhoIs Privacy Protection to maintain user confidentiality. WiChorus. com generates revenue primarily through the sale of domain names via direct transactions with customers.


The company provides a transparent pricing model, allowing customers to buy domains outright or choose a monthly payment plan, which extends up to 24 months interest-free. This direct-to-consumer approach ensures a seamless purchasing experience, with domains transferred to the buyer’s registrar account shortly after transaction completion. WiChorus guarantees a 30-day money-back return policy. Following its acquisition by Tellabs in October 2009, WiChorus plans to enhance its offerings and expand into new geographic markets, particularly targeting North America and Europe.


Recent funding will be utilized to support the development of new products and services, although specific details about upcoming launches and timelines have yet to be disclosed.
