Bills.com Domain Name History
In December 2005, before becoming a consumer website for credit and debt education, the Bills.com domain name was acquired by Freedom Financial Network for $950,000.[2] This sale was the second most expensive for a single domain name in 2005,[citation needed] and the price paid was for the domain name alone, not for any underlying business. Today, Bills.com is still listed as one of the top 25 all-time most expensive domain names.[citation needed]
Consumer Education
The website features a section called Ask Bill, which allows users to ask financial questions directly to experts in financial fields.[1]
In 2011, Bills.com teamed up with Experian to offer a new service called DebtCoach. DebtCoach pulls credit reports for consumers and organizes all of their debt and recommends options to eliminate debt. The recommendations it makes are based on a comparison of the total costs of each debt elimination method.[citation needed]
