Wow 888.mx sold for $10,000

Today, I saw the domain sale of 888.mx for $10,000 and it makes me think of the .mx domains’ future. The domain is sold via the Sedo domain marketplace and I haven’t seen .mx domain sales in xx,xxx until now. The domain extension, .MX is open to anyone to register just a few months ago and it is a domain extension for a populated country, Mexico. Is it an end user domain sale? Possibly. There are possible end users including 888.com betting company and I am sure there are more companies with “888″ keyword.

When it was open for registeration, I was not so keen to get .mx domains and as a result I only have Tourism.mx . I think my domain, Tourism.mx will have some demand for the end users in the tourism industry.

Will the Public be Successful in Preventing the .XXX Web Domain?

A former employee of U.S Department of Justice located in Nashville, Tennessee is asking individuals to protest against the use of domains that will be used solely for the purpose to promote pornographic websites.

This will be approximately the 3^rd time that the idea for the establishment of .XXX domain has come about. If you have an opinion on this domain you will have until exactly May, 10th to express them before ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names & Numbers) will decide whether or not to allow the establishment of the domain. They are reviewing all input from a variety of sources to determine what the appropriate action would be when it comes to the .XXX domain extension.
