According to a press release we just received, “.XYZ is proud to announce that we have partnered with West.cn for a second time to host an exclusive .xyz premium name auction between March 16 – March 31.”
“Over 150 .xyz domains will be auctioned off at no reserve.
“Many of these domains have never been registered before, since they were originally variably priced premium names, which renewed for a premium fee. However, we have removed these domains from our variably priced premium list so that the winners of these domains will only be responsible for standard renewal fees!”
“Among the domains being offered, the auction will feature six 2-number, seven 2-letter, ten 3-number, twelve 3-letter, twelve 4-number, eight 4-letter, and five repeating-characters (i.e. xxxxx.xyz & bbb.xyz) – all at no reserve. That means that these domains will sell to the highest bidder, no matter that final price is!”
“The final domain auction will be for the highly-coveted 1.xyz.
“With a very reasonable price set, we expect this domain to sell for significantly more than the reserve. Guidelines, rules, and a complete list of domains offered for auction each day can be found here.
“The exclusive March auction with West.cn follows our extremely successful auction with them in December 2015.
“At that time, 9.xyz sold for 1,135,000 RMB, making it one of the highest reported sales in history of a new domain name. You can see a complete list of domains sold in that auction below. Because these domains were sold in auction, the buyers only pay our standard renewal rate for these domains!””
(FYI: The exchange rate for 1 RMB is $.15 USD)
Here are the sales from the March West.cn auction:
9.xyz 1,135,000 RMB
22.xyz 172,000 RMB
884.xyz 4,700 RMB

XYZ continues to focus on China as one of its most important markets, and we expect adoption to skyrocket after we receive accreditation later this year. As the popularity of .xyz continues to grow, we expect the great domains we’ve included in the West.cn auction to receive a lot of attention from domain investors all over the world.
For our non-Chinese speaking followers who would like to participate in the auctions, please contact us directly at hello@gen.xyz and we will provide you with instructions on how to setup your account.

2 years ago I would have said anyone’s crazy for investing the amounts they did in that auction for a new .xyz domain. However, that just goes to show how fast markets change and value shoots through the roof. While I get the new value boom from Asia, I’m still not convinced it will be long lasting. Enjoy it while it lasts. 😉
I should say that XYZ and CLUB operators have been smart enough to recognize the importance of China market and take actiosn to sell their domains on the market. This is quite in contrast to some people who are eager to trumpet all the bad things about China after taking short positions, whether stocks or currencies.
Actiosn corrected to actions. Sorry.
Nice to see that… Perhaps someone knows a link to the current 4.cn .club auction? I am very interested in this. I am holding 100 llll chips in .club and 100 hobby domains. There is a ton of activity with .club in China! Auctions, commitment to build 10,000 websites in China, tens of thousands .club LLLL nnn nnnn names registered in past 45 days. This becoming accepted more and more by Chinese. If accepted by the Chinses government at MIIT, a nice payday is coming.
There is nothing natural about .club to the Chinese, are you even connected to any Chinese domain contacts?
Do you have any idea what is going on, there are so called Domain Bankers, who are managing investment capital for return starved investors, they keep throwing money at the fire, and trying to push higher. When they can’t push higher they shake the tree a bit.
If you have 100 club so called chips you should liquidate, because when one of these guys lose their shirt, this whole house of cards is coming down.
They will keep creating new extensions to pour money into, there is nothing rare about them. The nonsense of building 10,000 webistes is just PR, you have seen PR that is fairytale previously.

I was told today the 4.cn auction is being pushed back
I will let you know when I get a new date
I was thinking of purchasing a domain for hosting company. I came across hostmywebsite.xyz. Do you think it is worth to purchase this domain as it is having .xyz extention.
