OpenAI, the giant company that caused a worldwide sensation with the creation of ChatGPT, is once again making headlines. This time the company is discussing one of those deals. OpenAI eventually acquired Chat Dot Com, which is on the list of the oldest domain names in the world. The company has purchased the domain from HubSpot founder and chief technology officer Dharmesh Shah. OpenAI now directly replaces the Chat Dot Com redirect with ChatGPT.

Let us tell you that Chat Dot Com is one of the oldest domain names. It was first registered in 1996. It is understood that Dharmesh Shah got it only last year. He spent approximately $15.5 million for the domain name. If we convert this into Indian rupees, then the amount is around Rs 130 crore.

Dharmesh Shah informed in March this year that he had sold the domain name, but he did not disclose the domain name at the time. Subsequently, information about the transaction was recently released on Weibo platform X. Now, Open AI CEO Sam Altman has published an article about the deal. Now it can be confirmed from his post that Chat Dot Com is now part of OpenAI.

Sam Altman only wrote about Chat.com in his post. Open AI purchased the world’s oldest domain name for more than $15 million. Dharmesh Shah said he received shares in OpenAI in the sale of Chat Dot Com. However, he has yet to provide complete information about the deal.

After the deal, Dharmesh Shah published an article on X in which he stated that Chat Dot Com is an attractive and great domain name. This is a field that inspires someone to create a successful product or a successful company. Let us tell you that OpenAI can take its products global through this field.
