1. Is a .mobi domain worth $200,000?


Does it sound nonsensical to pay $200,000 USD for a domain name? Not really, if we are talking about a unique .mobi domain name.

As it was promised by mTLD (the .mobi Registry) the first set of the premium .mobi domain names was auctioned at the T.R.A.F.F.I.C Conference on October 27, 2006.

T.R.A.F.F.I.C. is the domain industry's premier conference. With more than 500 attendees, including leading executives and experts, T.R.A.F.F.I.C. is the largest and most successful domain conference of it’s kind.

The .mobi domains auctioned were:

DotMobiName:           Sold for:  

Celebs.mobi               $2,250 USD
Wow.mobi                  $9,000 USD
Gossip.mobi               $5,000 USD

As you noticed, two .mobi domain names attracted astonishing 6-figure bids, proving that the domain professionals see .mobi’s undeniable value and growing potential.

2.  How to make YOUR name unforgettable.


Today we are talking about the latest domain name trends. How to make your Web site and your Internet Address outstanding and unlike any other out there. Here are some ideas for you:

.tv – if you are looking to create the next great rich media site, put it on .tv. A .tv Web site will be more distinct and memorable and you are most likely to get the exact name you want.
  
.la – proud residents of Los Angeles have adopted the .la domain extension and are gladly using it to associate themselves with this beautiful city. 

.sc – widely used by South Carolina residents and businesses, and science organizations.

.fm and .am – great sounding domain addresses end with .fm or .am. FM and AM radio stations are capitalizing on these extensions and are using them as a great marketing tool.

4. New domain extensions (.IN and .MN)


As you know we have been quite busy recently adding new products and services to our product line to ensure that our customers are geared up for safe and fun online presence.

This month we are excited to announce that we added .in, .co.in, .firm.in, .gen.in, .ind.in, net.in, .org.in (country code domains for India) and .mn (country code domain for Mongolia) extensions to our domain offerings, bringing our total domain name compliment to a hard-hitting 100.

These new extensions do not require local presence and anyone can register them. The primary purpose of these domains is to serve as country code top level domain names but they are becoming very popular in their alternative use. For example, .mn opens new marketing opportunities for domain holders in Minnesota, or those who are involved in mobile network or music news.
