Every Wednesday, until the end of the month, we will announce a $50 Name.com account credit. Then, at the end of the month we will announce one grand prize winner who will receive a $500 Name.com account credit.

The highly anticipated second DOMAINfest show has been announced. Actually I have not received any official word on this, I’m going off their DOMAINfest.com website. The event will be held at the Inter-Continental Hotel in Prague, Czech Republic. It begins October 6th, 2010 and end October 7th.

Preliminary Agenda

Wednesday October 6, 2010

* Breakfast and morning time is for your personal meetings
* 11:00 – 12:30pm Free-flowing Networking Session (topics and experts TBD)
* 12:30 – 2:00pm Lunch
* 2:00 – 3:30pm Free Flowing Networking Session (topics and experts TBD)
* 3:30 – 4:00pm Break
* 4:00 – 7:00pm Moniker Live Domain Auction (with real-time online bidding)
* 7:30 – 10:30pm Dinner & Networking Party

Thursday October 7, 2010

* Breakfast and morning time is for your personal meetings
* Starting at 11:00am, the rest of the day will involve relationship-building activities and excursions in and around Prague
*  8:00 – 11:00pm Farewell Dinner and Networking Party hosted by DomainSponsor

Conference details, including the full agenda and speakers, will be released in June, 2010.

Registration is not open yet, but as usual they will have an Early Bird registration offering a good discount if you book early. Here’s the pricing as shown on their site:

Early Bird Registration Rate will be $395 through July 1, 2010
Discounted Registration Rate will be $495 from July 1 to September 1, 2010
Standard Registration Rate will be $595 starting September 1, 2010

Unfortunately I won’t be able to attend this particular conference. Round trip from Florida with two connecting flights is a $1700-$2800 flight. I personally can’t see spending that kind of money for a two day networking event. In addition there are already two other shows scheduled for October of this year, my own conference which I have not publicly announced yet, DNCruise.com October 11-15 and T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Miami which is October 17-20.

*As I was creating this post an official press release went out.

LuxuryNames.com is holding another auction! In fact, it started earlier today. It opened up today, March 2nd, and will end on Thursday, March 4th at 3:15 EST. The auction itself is being held at SnapNames.com.

These domain names stood out for me as I browsed the list:

BallerinaShoes.net
Chandeliers.net <– 673,000 EXACT SEARCHES PER MONTH
CorrectiveSurgery.com
CreditRestoration.org
MoscowVacations.com
PrivateAirplanes.com
RefinanceCalculator.com
RentalApartments.net

Two things I like about this auction is that it’s short, only two days and there are only 45 domain names available. I’d suggest finding a name that you like and bidding quick. Before you know it the auction will be over.

Visit SnapNames.com to view the full list and bid.
