America.com Domain Name Up for Auction

by KYW Tech Reporter Bob Bicknell

Looking for a catchy name for your new website? How about America.com. That name is going on the auction block on Thursday, but you’ll need more that just a patriotic spirit to take it.

You might need some divine intervention if you were hoping to land the domain name America.com.

Until next Thursday, the domain name is up for auction.

What’s in a name, you ask? Plenty.

Consider this: the domain sex.com sold for $12 million, and just last year, the domain business.com sold for an amazing $345 million.

Now, the name America.com will likely be a prize for the patriotic, unpatriotic, profane and profound alike, but the potential is there if the right owner came along.

If you’d like to bid, get out your checkbook and head to www.sedo.com.
