Landrush for Dot Chinese Online & Dot Chinese Website began on Thursday March 20 and concluded on Wednesday April 24.
This important date in the modern history of the Chinese web was auspiciously marked by a traditional Feng Shui ceremony on beautiful Hac Sa Beach, Macau. Good fortune and prosperity for domain names in Dot Chinese Online & Dot Chinese Website will surely follow: March 21 was an auspicious day for “breaking ground” in the ancient Chinese almanac. The Chinese almanac was created during the Han Dynasty around 200BC, and continues to be an important guide to the lives and businesses of more than a billion Chinese people.
On the 2nd day of Landrush, a major auction of valuable premium domain names was held at the Galaxy Macau's China Rouge private members' club. This was the perfect venue for the prestigious launch of our premium domain name program. During the innovative hybrid-live-and-online auction, a total of 33 domain name lots were sold, raising US$182,000 in sales.
Veteran and first-time domain name investors participated in and won auctions for domain names as diverse as “games.online” (游戏.在线) for $25,388, “casino.online” (赌场.在线) for $25,000, “realestate.online” (房地产.在线) for $16,000, “rent.online” (租赁.在线) for $15,500 and “bitcoin.online” (比特币.在线) for $14,388.
