One character .biz domain name auction off to strong start.
An auction for one letter and one number .biz domain names at Sedo is off to a strong start.
After just a day of bidding, e.biz leads the pack at $6,201 with 17 bids. X.com biz is close behind at $5,000 with four bids. It appears that all domains have a reserve of $5,000, and only e.biz and x.biz have met their reserves so far. However, many other domains are getting close, including u.biz and 1.biz.
The interesting thing to me is that anyone who came up with a decent plan to develop and promote e.biz could have had it for a lot less through the registry’s RFP process. That’s how Overstock got O.biz.
The .biz auction ends September 30.
September’s Great Domains auction at Sedo ends today. So far the highest priced domain to hit its reserve is 79.net at 5,900 EUR.

fixed typo
Jim Fleming says
e-biz.com
x-biz.com
will eclipse the names in the new DNS resolvers
the nameservers for the .COM backing names
are queried first for the nameservers for
the shorter names – they will likely say
they do not know about them and the cascade
will eventually resolve
Andrew Allemann says
o.biz resolves just fine

Strange how only overtsock went after o.biz and no one else got a chance at anything else,
i bet companies out there would have had a better plan for e.biz than overstock do for o.biz
seems strange to me.
e.biz will lead the pack the whole way through.
$20k is my guess 🙂
