Games.mobi, XXX.mobi, Bank.mobi, BlackJack.mobi and 200 others will be auctioned next month
DotMobi announced today that they will be holding a special online auction for
200 highly desired premium .mobi domain names including bands.mobi, blackjack.mobi, cellphones.mobi, games.mobi, and xxx.mobi.
Trey Harvin, CEO of dotMobi: "The mobile Web is truly coming into its own as a unique medium, and the names available in this auction will be key in helping consumers find content designed specifically for their mobile phones."
The first time the mobile domain names had been sold through an auction process rather than on a "first come, first served" was in October 2007. 100 mobile web addresses were sold to the highest bidders with the auction generating more than $850,000 for the continued creation of mobile content tools. Hosting.mobi, sold for $101,000, bank.mobi, had a price tag of $51,501, and, download.mobi, went for $51,500.
Mark Boost, Managing Director of leading UK domain Registration Company, LCN.com, notes: “Website owners have been increasingly adopting the .mobi web extension to inform customers that their site is optimised for a mobile device.” “With consumer adoption of mobile internet usage within the UK consistently increasing, largely due to the recent spike in sales the Apple iPhone 3G, responsibility for business owners when taking into account the role the mobile device can play in helping them engage with customers is becoming a lot more imperative.”
