Aug 31, 2009 : Sedo Partners with Neustar
📅 - The two companies join hands to make one-character .biz domain names available for first time ever.
Sedo, a domain marketplace and monetization provider, today announced that it has partnered with Neustar, the global registry operator for the .BIZ internet domain, to hold an exclusive auction for the entire available catalog of one-character .BIZ domain names beginning at 12:00 noon (EDT) on September 23, 2009 and ending at 11:59 a.m. (EDT) on September 30, 2009.
The company states that the availability of these domain names through Neustar and it marks the first time that a generic top level domain (gTLD) registry has released all of its one-character names - and this has created an unprecedented opportunity for corporations, business owners and related associations. It adds that while some one-character domains were previously assigned during Neustar's request for proposals (RFP) process, interested parties will now have an opportunity to acquire one or more of 31 valuable domains through its web-based auction.
The company explains that through the initial RFP process and the Sedo auction, Neustar will be releasing all 36 one-character .BIZ names, including the 26 letters in the Roman alphabet and digits 0 through 9. Domain names of this nature are highly valuable because they are short, memorable, and extremely rare. For example, only three one-character .com domain names exist, and few one-character domains have ever been sold publicly.
"These single-character .BIZ domain names offer an incredible branding opportunity to B2B organizations to build or extend their business on the Web," said Jeremiah Johnston, Chief Operating Officer at Sedo. "We are thrilled to work with Neustar to introduce such a rare and complete collection of premium domain names to businesses and members of the Sedo community."
"Our release of all one-character .BIZ domains and the corresponding auction at Sedo provides businesses with a scope of online branding possibilities never before offered in the domain industry," said Tim Switzer, Vice President of domain name registry services at Neustar. "The limited availability of one-character .BIZ assets makes this auction an event with significant industry importance."
