The domain name Jerusalem.com was purchased by Michael Weiss for $750,000 from a California-based owner. The new Jerusalem.com website was launched on Tuesday afternoon from Jerusalem, and the site offers everything from tourist information (hotels, restaurants, attractions…etc) to real estate listings and information about the holy land of Jerusalem, Israel.

The Jerusalem site has content that people of all religions should find interesting. Industry player Weiss launched the Jerusalem website with “Start-up Jerusalem”, a non-profit organization dedicated to strengthening the city of Jerusalem. Weiss is a co-founder of Scoop.co.il, a Hebrew news site, which launched in 2006.
