PODGORICA, Montenegro--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Who wouldn’t want to Love.Me, Kiss.Me, Miss.Me at the most romantic time of year? On Feb. 3, online entrepreneurs and romantics alike can bid for some of the world’s most flirtatious domains at the DOMAINfest .ME auction.
In the United States, every Feb. 14, tens of millions of Americans are interested in just one thing! Valentine’s Day means love is in the air. So, imagine the phenomenal interest in these premium “love” domains: Want.Me, Love.Me, Kiss.Me, Miss.Me.
“Like.Me recently sold for $26,500 at auction,” notes Predrag Lesic, executive director of the .ME Registry. “These premium domain names are even more emotionally charged. One can only imagine their long-term value as a web destination for anyone in love, looking for love, or recovering from the pain of a lost love.”
Domain personalization using .ME has proven to have great online marketing potential. In just over two years, 420,000 new .ME domains have been registered. Sites like Join.Me are a perfect example of the simple attraction of .ME. According to a December post of ADI News, “If you are on a plane, train or drinking a coffee at Starbucks, you could try to remember some of the other meeting applications or you could simply think of Join.Me. Dot-ME domains offer ways to be clever, cute, smart and always be in the mind of your target consumer.”
“Dot-ME as a domain extension allows all the attention to be focused on the Web user,” adds Lesic. “The domains available in our February auction, in particular, are a perfect way to grab the attention of anyone in search of the subject of love or relationships, and an even easier way to be sure people can quickly recall your site to return again and again.”
The .ME premium domains will be included in two Moniker® and SnapNames® auctions as follows:
- Kiss.Me and Love.Me will be featured in the live, simultaneous online bidding event beginning Thursday, Feb. 3 at 7:30 pm ET (4:30 pm PT).
- Want.Me, Hate.Me, and Miss.Me will be featured in the online extended auction running Thursday, Feb. 3 through Thursday, Feb. 17 at 3:15 pm ET (12:15 pm PT).
