Sedo Dot CO Auction Worth a Look

Written by Peter Devereaux | Nov 12, 2012 6:00:00 AM

Domain name marketplace and monetization provider Sedo is auctioning over 150 premium .CO domain names from November 12th through the 19th.

The list of .CO's in auction is actually quite impressive, including robot.co, gadget.co, hot.co, real.co, among others. Most of the .CO domains in auction have reserve prices starting at $500 but reserve prices for many of the more appealing listings range from $10-25,000. This premium auction is being held in honor of Global Entrepreuership Week. .CO Internet, the registry for the dot CO domain extension, is even auctioning 50 of its own premium reserved .CO domains.  

"The global startup community has really embraced .CO domains since they were introduced in 2010, with companies like Twitter, Angel List, Google and 500 Startups helping to drive adoption and consumer awareness," said Liesbeth Mack-de Boer, Sedo's Chief Sales Officer. "With such heavyweights paving the way, .CO has become the premier choice for startups who may not be able to register legacy extensions which are often more cost-prohibitive or already registered. For entrepreneurs and start-ups, this premium .CO auction provides a great opportunity to purchase a domain that will help grow their business."
