NameJet Offers First-Of-Its-Kind Emoji Domain Name Auction

NameJet, the industry-leading domain name auction platform, is offering premium one to three character and word and emoji domain names in public auction on its website. Many of these select emoji domains are being offered at no reserve by some of the industry’s top emoji domain experts. Domains have been provided by Page Howe, EmojiUrl.com, BuyEmojis.ws, EmojiEmpires.com, EmojiHQ.com and EmojiDomains.ws.

“Emoji domains work on almost all the world’s smartphones and are the second most popular language in many countries. Imagine one color graphical emoji domain name without any need for translation globally.” Remarked emoji domain investor Page Howe. “With emoji domain names you can capture everything it means to “be” the object, emotion, feeling, or prestige of each emoji or emoji phrase.

“Whether as Tech Collectibles, easy to remember forwards, category-defining websites or just plain rare and special domains to own, this market is only now becoming known, and the potential seems endless and undiscovered.” Howe Continued. These emoji domain names are in the .ws extension as .com and the new tlds are restricted from offering any new emoji domains beyond the 50-60 existing grandfathered names.

3-day public auctions began on December 10th will continue through the month of December. These premium emoji domains are available at NameJet.com/featuredauctions/emoji. A NameJet account is required to participate.

Fly.com Flies High To Be Year’s Biggest Sale to Date

TravelZoo sold the fly.com domain name for a whopping $2.89 million to easily be the biggest sale in 2017 to date to make it the 17th biggest sale ever recorded by Domain Name Journal and over $1 million higher than the previous biggest sale for the year, that of 01.com which sold for $1.82 million
