internetkompāniju "izvirdums" jeb bums
Explanation:
dot-com ir tas, kā angliski lasa vietnes adresi ".com"
Domāts internetkompāniju (internetā bāzētu kompāniju) "izvirdums" jeb bums

The period was marked by the founding (and, in many cases, spectacular failure) of a group of new Internet-based companies commonly referred to as dot-coms. Companies were seeing their stock prices shoot up if they simply added an "e-" prefix to their name and/or a ".com" to the end, which one author called "prefix investing".
