Country Code Domain Name Auction Thursday Morning

Thursday, June 4th, 2009

ccTLD auction starts at 10 am EDT.

A live and online domain name auction taking place in conjunction with the TRAFFIC ccTLDs conference in Amsterdam starts momentarily. Online bidding begins at 10 am EDT on Proxibid.

The auction includes both traditional country code domain names such as .nl (Netherlands) and .de (Germany), as well as “commercialized” country code domains such as .tv (Tuvalu, but branded as “TV”). Rick Latona Auctions, which is running the auction, struck a deal with .tv to sell domains below their standard tiered pricing rates. The domain names will also have lower renewal rates for the life of the domain, even if they are sold or transferred.

Auction pricing is listed in Euros. The Dollar has been slipping against the Euro, and 1 Euro equals approximately $1.41 USD today.

Top names include IT.co.uk, Business.de, and Satellite.tv. There are a number of foreign language ccTLDs in the auction, but the majority of high ticket domains are English language.
