More .biz domains heading to auction next week.
Following on the Neustar’s successful auction of one and two character .biz domain names on Sedo, the company has inked a deal to sell a number of domains through Moniker. The domains will be auctioned at next week’s TRAFFIC conference in Brooklyn, as well as in Moniker’s extended online auction following the event.
Sedo’s auction included only one character domains, as Neustar was still seeking proposals from companies interested in developing two character domains at the time of the auction. With the RFP period closed, two character domains can now be auctioned.
Perhaps the best domain in the auction will be i.biz, but there are several location-specific domains that should attract attention:
TX.biz – Texas
KC.biz – Kansas City
OK.biz – Oklahoma
NY.biz – New York
All domains will be offered at no reserve.
Sounds good to me. With .biz auction and .info running a development contest, maybe .US will get in the game with some reasonable promotion.
