"The results exceeded our expectations. We are very pleased with the enthusiastic demand for the .asia domain. said Edmon Chung, CEO of DotAsia. "This is a testament to the global interest in the thriving Asia Internet marketplace, and the investment appeal for the most prestigious cyber real-estate in Asia. It will be interesting to see which of the domain names would fetch the highest prices in the auction. I believe we could be in for some surprises." Of the names receiving multiple requests, "buy.asia" was the most sought after, with over 400 applicants. Others in the top five were hot.asia, gold.asia, fun.asia, girl.asia. To date the highest price paid at auction for a .asia domain names at auction is $US20,501 for ace.asia, followed by tyco.asia at $US7600. These prices fall well short of the millions of dollars paid for generic .com domain names such as flowers.com. Details of auctions held and upcoming at http://www.registry.asia . |
