.ws which was introduced in 1995 belongs to Western Samoa, however recently .ws domains have been promoted as “dot WebSite” and can be purchased by anyone without any country restrictions.

.com is the king, followed by Queens and Knights in the form of .net and .org  But getting your most wanted domain name in those extensions are not that easy and cost much more than the same phase in .ws

.ws is the only “generic” TLD that has just two-characters, think of others such as .com , .net , .org, .info all got 3 or 4 characters. this make .ws ultra brandable

lets take “central” as your preferred name to be registered, getting that in .com is not possible without 6 figures even from a domain auction.  Software and domainers appraise domains in different ways, but someone should test the waters by running an actual auction. So I thought of putting central.ws for sale on eBay and watch how the market determine the value.

Estibot gives a valuation of $590 for central.ws

Lets predict how much this is going to fetch in the ebay auction. Enter your prediction as a comment in this thread and the closest prediction gets a GoDaddy voucher to the amount equal to 20% of the price which the domain sells. Guess everyone is hoping that this domain will fetch the maximum as the share 20% share gets bigger and bigger 

Have a look at Ebay listing of Central.ws for latest updates on the auction and you might be able to grab a bargain

Fly.com is on auction at the famous domain auction house Sedo.com, currently with a bid of $125,000 and the bidding continues.  With more than 3 days to go and with a reserve price in the range of $2M - $2.5M, its a hard to guess whether this domain enter the list of Top 10 most expensive domains ever sold. But as of any other auction serious bidders will only place their bids in the last moment.

Currently below domains heads the record book of most expensive domains

1. sex.com: $14.5 Million in 2006
2. fund.com: $10 Million in 2008
3. porn.com: $9.5 Million in 2007
4. business.com: $7.5M in 1999
5. beer.com: $7M in 2000
6. diamond.com $7.5M in 2006
7. casino.com: $5.5M in 2003
8. asseenontv.com: $5M in 2005
9. korea.com: $5M in 2000
10. shop.com: $3.5M in 2000

While there are stories about poker.com exchanging hands in 2007 for $27 Million that is not confirmed. And also Business.com was resold for $345 Million but that is including the business.
The current owner purchased fly.com in 1999 for $1.5M, and as the rumour goes it was sort of equivalent to about 10 years of advertising revenue. Now with the domain market having a good boom in the last decade the domain is guaranteed to fetch more.

Airlines, Travel companies, Airline ticket comparison sites such as Expedia and many more having an eager eye on this domain the possibilities are endless. Even billionaire businessmen Richard Branson might be bidding for this domain as this is the best suited domain for his newly formed company which allows people to fly into space.
