Monte
Cahn
and his company, RightOfTheDot,
LLC (ROTD), are
synonymous with live premium
domain auctions. Monte has
been staging them all over the
world for nearly two decades now,
usually in conjunction with major
domain conferences, past and
present, like NamesCon,
Domainfest Global and T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
For the time being, the Covid-19
pandemic has shut down in person
domain conferences, but ROTD is
ready to carry on with a
new event scheduled to begin at 12
Noon (U.S. Central Standard Time)
on February 25, 2021.

The upcoming ROTD auction will be run in
partnership with best selling author and World Champion Auctioneer
Wayne Wheat who will take the gavel to auction off 50-75 super
premium domain names during a live webcast at https://ROTD.hibid.com/
that will originate from a production studio in Wheat's hometown, College
Station, Texas. The webcast will be preceded by a timed online
auction that will offer hundreds of additional domain names for sale.
Cahn said, “As increasing numbers of
businesses move online, especially due to Covid-19, premium domain
names will continue to increase in desirability and value as business
owners recognize their need to have a memorable domain name to stay
competitive. These live and online premium domain auctions present a
unique opportunity for business owners and investors to obtain
some of the best, one-of-a-kind domain names available anywhere!”

Anyone
who has been in the industry for any length of time knows Monte's background,

One
other note about Monte. He was a member of the
panel of experts DNJournal assembled for our 17th annual State
of the Industry Cover Story that was released this week. In the article,
two dozen industry leaders detailed
how the domain business fared in the middle of a global pandemic in 2020 and
what we are likely to see in 2021 and beyond. You won't want to miss. If you
