An elite portfolio of six Geo Domain Names is being auctioned on eBay this week. The six high profile domains are all perfectly positioned to be used for premium Geo sites or for shopping comparison sites. The portfolio includes:

• cxAtlanta.com
• cxAmerica.com
• cxBoston
• cxDetroit.com
• cxHouston.com
• cxRio.com

The term geodomain refers to domain names that are the same as those of geographic entities, such as cities and countries.

Since geographical names are limited in number, and have instant name recognition, geodomains are highly valued, with .com extension geodomains valued the most.

Geodomains tend to provide a virtual representation of the locations they serve. Collectively, geographic domain names are estimated to represent approximately over 500 million dollars a year in gross hotel bookings alone, and are a rising force on the Internet.

Premium domain names are becoming increasingly popular and are being purchased by major companies and organizations that do business online and offline in particular marketplaces.

Industry news magazine DNJournal compiles prices of domain names sold in public marketplaces in 2008:

Fund.com - $9,999,995
dataRecovery.com - $1,659,000
Cruises.co.uk - $1,099,798
iReport.com - $750,000
