Tiny .biz domain names to be auctioned off to highest bidders

01.06.2009
How much is x.biz or .ge.biz worth?

That's the question NeuStar is asking the Internet e-commerce community as it adds one- and two-character names to the .biz domain and makes them available to the highest bidders.

NeuStar on June 1 announced to sell one-character domain names -- using the letters A through Z as well as the numbers 0 through 9 -- with the .biz extension. For example, the domain names www.i.biz and www.7.biz will be for sale via auction.

Bids for the 36 possible one-character names are due to NeuStar on July 30. These names are expected to be operational in August.

Also in August, NeuStar will begin selling two-character domain names that can be used to represent company names, stock symbols, state or city names such as www.ms.biz or www.az.biz.
