MEDIA ALERT



Demand Media and eNom to Release Premium .TV Domain Names

Nearly 53,000 Premium Names to be Brought Back to Market May 1


SANTA MONICA, CA AND BELLEVUE, WA, April 30, 2007 — Demand Media, Inc., the next-generation web media company, and its wholly owned subsidiary and largest wholesale registrar, eNom ®, announced today that premium .TV domain names will be made available tomorrow, May1st, at 1:00pm PT. Interested parties can go to www.domainsindemand.tv to register the nearly 53,000 names that have been off the market for close to five months.

In December of last year, Demand Media announced a strategic alliance with VeriSign, Inc. (NASDAQ: VRSN), to leverage Demand Media’s new media platform, industry relationships and web 2.0 expertise to increase .TV registrations. Demand Media is bringing the names to market in conjunction with the release of its proprietary tools to create video-centric websites with social networking with every .TV registration, free of charge.

I have taken look at a few names I was interested in as well and they have just jacked the prices up on all of them. They are all raised up by 500+.

Oh, that just reeks! The only upside in seeing the premiums raised by that much would be that it takes the smaller and mid sized endusers out of the picture - thereby driving up demand for reg fee domains.

Verisign Is Setting The Pricing John

 

[alex_d]

For newbies this is not like the .mobi or .eu landrush these domains are not new you could have regged for 70 % off OCT to DEC 06

Equity, I think this is THE MOST IMPORTANT piece of information, for those who are new to .tv and think that this 1st May launch is something new.

:bingo: right on the money,

As previoulsy stated, if the names that are going up have had a lot interest,who can blame Verisign, if it is to get end users to buy then it is achieving its goal.
I still see one that hasn't moved( so far) 14 mins to go ,

where are you guys seeing these prices?

Go to enom.tv, punch in a name. If it says it's premium, look at the address bar and u'll see r=xxxxxx where xxxxxx is the price.

Just noticed it also, it was a gamble paying that much for tx.tv, although you made the best return on investment here on Namepros

You have to enter one of the main rooms first - then use the "Rooms" option to see the TV room

 

[seeker]

the more we search for a name, the higher th4e price.
just try it.
any 3 letter, repeat search for 10 times, and watch the price go from $500 to $1000 in a couple of minutes.
Ridiculous system!
