InterNetX
will kick off festivities surrounding
the world's biggest hosting/cloud
conference, WHD.global,
with a live
domain auction in Rust,
Germany on Monday night,
March 14, 2016 (the night before
WHD.global gets underway there with
a crowd of more than 6,000
expected to be on hand). The auction
of premium new gTLDs will get
underway at 10pm (local time) in the
lobby of the El Andaluz Hotel.
34
lots from five registries (Radix,
.CLUB, Uniregistry, .Cloud
and .Global) will be put up
for bid. The catalog includes such
names as Hosting.Club,
LowCost.Cloud, V.Hosting, Backup.Global and
Website.Host.
You
do have to be registered for
WHD.Global to bid, but InterNetX is
providing a free WHD ticket code
that is posted on the auction registration
page where you will also
find the complete list of domains
that will be sold. Space will be
limited so you are encouraged to register early
if you wish to attend the event.

the month with minimum bids
