RightOfTheDot and NameJet on Wednesday announced the release of the initial list of ultra-premium domain names up for pre-bidding before the live, in-person and online domain name auction at NamesCon Global 2019, the largest annual domain-industry conference.

The live domain auction takes place on January 28, 2019, from 4 pm â 7 pm PST at the Tropicana Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. Pre-bidding and the extended auction will take place on the NameJet.com auction platform found at namejet.com/featuredauctions/liveauction.
The auction will feature some of the best domain names available, including âleads.com,â âgive.com,â âdrone.com,â âtexasholdem.com,â âcellularphones.com,â âqo.com,â âprize.com,â bride.com,â âsucks.com,â âbroker.com,â âdomainnames.com,â âtablets.comâ and many more, including several super-premium non-.com domains such as âmortgage.pro,â âchinese.restaurant,â âboater.clubâ and ânewyork.pizza.â There will be an estimated 400 names in the overall auction with an estimated 120 domains offered at the live auction.Last yearâs auction resulted in the highest sale in NameJetâs history with âsuper.comâ selling for a record-breaking $1.2 million, which has since been used to create a $50 million venture-capital fund for the video-game industry. Other notable sales from that auction include âgreat.comâ for $900,000, ârunner.com,â âfakenews.comâ and âtees.com.â
âRightOfTheDot and NameJet have generated millions in revenue for our clients and sold domain names never before available to a wide array of established companies, start-ups and individuals,â said Monte Cahn, RightOfTheDotâs president and director. âContinuing to raise the overall value for the domain industry is our joint mission, and we look to further that effort with this yearâs list of fantastic domain names.â
“We are thrilled to once again partner with RightOfTheDot to support the live domain auction at NamesCon,” said Jonathan Tenenbaum, general manager of NameJet.
Many of the premium domains will be priced at no and low reserves to promote competitive bidding and true market prices. Additional domain names will be considered for inclusion by submitting names at rotd.com/auction-submission/. Only ultra-premium names will be considered. Â
A NameJet account is required to participate in the online and live auctions. Bids for domains may be placed now on the NameJet website. Accepted names will be added continually to pre-bidding before the start of NamesCon so participants should check the auction page often for new additions and bidding activity. Following the live auction, the online auction will continue on the NameJet website for an additional 16 days, closing on February 13.
