Domain names went to auction
The secondary market for domain names of domestic Internet zones is currently estimated at 20-30 transactions per month and it is developing dynamically, said “i” Sergey Korkin, the founder of “Domain Auctions”, where, in particular, such transactions are carried out, - “Economic news".
As they wrote “і”, the first transaction of transferring the names of taxi.com.ua and taxi.kiev.ua took place in 2002. Then a private person who wished to remain anonymous, sold the domains to “Motor Transport Enterprise 13002”. The amount of the transaction is still unknown.
According to Mr. Korkin, the price of a name on a domestic auction now ranges from $ 30 to EUR15 thousand. It depends on the consonance of the name and the domain zone in which it is registered.
According to Dmitry Golovachev, a specialist in registration and interception of domains (interception is a re-registration for an individual or a company of a domain that was freed due to non-payment - Auth.), Today the average transaction value is $ 250-500. “Successful names can be sold for $ 1 thousand,” he said.

At the same time, Mr. Korkin believes that even $ 50-100 is a good price for a domestic domain.
However, there are fans of quick money, who are not averse to making $ 10 thousand, he says. A striking example is the address kiev-euro2012.com, registered by the Polish cybersquatter (so called people who earn money by registering domain names that are consonant with the names of well-known companies or simply with well-remembered words, for the purpose of their resale or placing on web-resources advertising .— Auth.). He put this domain up for auction at $ 10,000. Sergey Korkin considers such a cost to be groundless: “This is utter nonsense, for no one will buy this name. The domain is ugly and too long, its red price is $ 300-400. ”
The most promising names are carclub.com.ua and o.ua, whose owners also want $ 10,000 each for them. The most expensive transaction in Ukraine is the recent purchase of the mail.ua domain by the Internet Consulting Group. The amount of the transaction was not disclosed, but experts say a minimum of $ 15-20 thousand. However, all experts agree that the Ukrainian domain business is still in an embryonic state. “It will be possible to speak about the domain names market in two or three years,” notes Mr. Korkin.
According to VeriSign, the number of registered domain names worldwide in the first nine months of 2007 increased by 31% compared to the same period in 2006. Ukrainian specialists report a 28% increase in the number of names in domestic domain zones. At the same time, the .com.ua and .kiev.ua zones are the most popular among those who want to earn money by selling the name (about 75 thousand and 68 thousand registered names, respectively). Moreover, the administrator of the national domain of Ukraine .ua, Hostmaster, recently officially announced the creation of a new regional public domain .kyiv.ua in early 2008. For cybersquatters, this event opens up many prospects, because in the remaining domain zones almost all are two-letter and well-remembered names are already taken.
We didn’t have such deals as in the West and will not be for a long time: the domain sex.com was sold for $ 12 million in 2006, business.com for $ 7.5 million in 1999, and the most expensive The domain name for 2007 is orn.com, which costs $ 9.5 million.
