The vast amount of the domains in this auction will carry a reserve of $5,000 or less (USD) and are subject to regular registration and renewal rates. View a full list of names to be auctioned »

Premium Names Premium domains are similar to valuable pieces of land and their value can be developed and grown over time. In this context, the premium domains auctioned at this event can be described as exclusive beach-front properties. The premium domains that will be auctioned in this round, include domains relevant to the host city London, as well as premium domain names in the financial sectors, international business, tourism, media and more. A list of some historical premium domain trades can be viewed here Register Today »

Event Details  The Auction from 17.30 – 19.15 A live online auction will run concurrently with the physical auction allowing both international and local domain investors to participate.

The Timing 24th June 2014 The reason for this timing, is the fact that .GLOBAL is commercially available from June 25.
