Sedo have announced they will be having a domain name auction of generic Spanish domain names to take advantage of the rapidly growing Spanish domain name market that grew by a staggering 30 per cent in 2008 compared to the previous year.
Over 400 million people speak Spanish, making it the world’s third most spoken language. The Spanish language is just as prevalent and searched for online. So now is a great time to take advantage of this great opportunity for both owners and buyers in Sedo’s Spanish Domain Auction, May 7-14!
The development of the Spanish domain name market is impressive: at the end of 2006, over 500,000 “dot ES” domain names were registered. Within the next 18 months, the figure doubled to 1,000,000!
Nic.mx, the Mexican domain registry, also has reason to celebrate this year. 2009 marks 20 years of the “.com.mx” domain extension. Additionally, this year the very promising “.mx” domain extension will be launched. This development will undoubtedly attract even more interest in Mexican domain names.
Sales such as Auto.es for €110,000 and Villas.com for €305,000 demonstrate Spanish language domains are among the “big players” in the global domain market. However, there are still some great deals available. Quality names such as Agua.info (water in English) recently sold for less than €1,000.
During the auction there will be the chance to bid for domain names such as Vender.com, Descargas.com or Viajes.com.ar. Remember that such generic terms also hold great resale potential. Don’t miss your chance to bid on “lo mejor de dominios,” the very best of Spanish domains.
Eligible domain names must fit the following criteria for listing in the auction:
- The domain is a generic, spanish term
- The domain is a Spanish word .com, .net, .es .com.ar or .com.mx
- Your reserve price expectations comply with current market trends
