.Asia Registry Partners with NameJet and RightOfTheDot.com to Auction Premium 3-4 Character Numeric .Asia Domain Names
Premium .asia numeric domain names available.
- (1888PressRelease) April 13, 2014 - HONG KONG - DotAsia Organisation, registry operator of the '.Asia' top-level-domain, announced that it has partnered with NameJet.com and RightOfTheDot.com to auction a series of never-before-released premium numeric domain names. Through these auctions, approximately 150 three and four character numeric .Asia domain names such as 333.asia, 777.asia and 8888.asia will be offered to the public for the first time. The auctions are scheduled to begin on May 2nd, 2014.
NameJet is a proven leader in the Asian auction marketplace in that approximately 30% of NameJet visitors in the past year came from Asia. NameJet has recently auctioned numerous premium Chinese .COM domains and numeric domain names, highlighted by liu.com selling for $155,688 in January 2014 on the NameJet platform. "We have had great success selling domains to Asian buyers," said Matt Overman, General Manager of NameJet. "Numeric domain names are highly prized by our customers and we're excited to continue to grow this inventory."
"The recent success of NameJet in targeting buyers in Asia has been impressive," said Edmon Chung, CEO of DotAsia. "Trying some of our numeric names on the NameJet platform makes a lot of sense. Hopefully we can take advantage of the momentum they have built. Three and four character numeric domain names are universally understood, easy to remember and very popular in the East. Not only are they short and meaningful names, they also contain a keyword and geographical identifier - Asia, increasing the chances of being found by people and search engines alike."
"Large corporations are already using their .Asia domains with sites such as Honda.asia and LiveNation.asia," said Monte Cahn, President and Director of RightOfTheDot.com, a leading domain industry consultancy firm specializing in new and existing premium domain sales and strategy, contention resolution and auction services. "Having participated in the successful launch of .Asia in 2008, we are excited to work with DotAsia and NameJet in managing the successful release of these never-before-registered premium .Asia domain names."
Looking at the "Top 100 sales of 2014" as recognized by DNJournal.com, 13 out of the top 21 sales are for the China market, including 100.com which sold for $950,000. In 2013, another three-character numeric domain, 114.com, was sold for a whopping 2.1 million dollars. With expanding economies and growing access to technology, Asia has one of the world's largest and fastest growing Internet populations. For example, China currently has more Internet users than any other country, with 600 million people online. However, that number only accounts for 42 percent of the country's population, leaving considerable room for growth. In contrast, many Western nations already have Internet penetration rates higher than 75% percent.
