GeoDomains: Around the World in Seven Days

SEDO,  announced this week that it will host an online auction of global and travel-related domain names on February 13th, 2008. The “Around the World in 7 Days” auction will be hosted on the Sedo website (www.sedo.com) and will run from 2:00 pm EST (8 pm CET) on February 13 to approximately 2:00 pm EST (8 pm CET) on February 20.

The Sedo auction will feature some interesting properties, including names like Arabia.com, Breaks.com, Glasgow.com, Kosovo.com, and PureVacation.com. The full list of domain names is available at Sedo.com.

“The interest in geodomains is growing significantly. For instance, it is estimated that hundreds of millions of dollars in hotel sales result from visits to established and parked geodomain sites each year, so it is clear the impact that geography specific domains can have on a market,” said Tim Schumacher, chief executive officer of Sedo. “As travel-related domain names continue to rise in value, we are offering this ‘Around the World’ auction to connect buyers with domain names that are increasingly more difficult to acquire.”
