Full summary
Clipster, a performance-based creator marketing platform, has moved its web address from Clipster.gg to Clipster.com after a acquisition process that lasted 13 months. The company’s founder and CEO, Turan Selvi, announced the change on X and said Clipster paid $100,000 for the matching .com domain.
The talks were difficult because the domain was not held by a typical domain investor. It belonged to Regis Corporation, a hair salon company based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, which runs salon brands including Supercuts, SmartStyle, Cost Cutters, MasterCuts and Holiday Hair. Regis also holds a set of matching trademarks for haircut, styling and beauty services, according to USPTO records. The domain was one of the company’s digital assets, so the deal was a corporate negotiation rather than a standard aftermarket The market where domain names that are already registered are bought and sold. Full definition of aftermarket purchase.
Clipster was founded in 2025. It connects brands with content creators through campaigns in which creators publish short-form content and are paid based on verified views, while brands pay for measurable results. Selvi said the .com address gives the growing platform a matching identity in place of the .gg extension that helped launch the brand.
