With successful Live Auctions at T.R.A.F.F.I.C East and West, Moniker's TrafficClub domain monetization service has grown by more than 200 percent in 2006.

Moniker, an ICANN accredited registrar, today announced its record-breaking sales in 2006.
   
Driven by successful Live Auctions at T.R.A.F.F.I.C East and West and growing interest in the domain name aftermarket, Moniker expects to see a 265 percent sales increase over 2005. Sales at T.R.A.F.F.I.C East and West in 2006 include on.com at sale price $635,000, flashgames.com at $226,950 and ant.com at $241,200. While cameras.com was sold for $1,500,000 and flowers.mobi was sold for $200,000.

The other areas of Moniker's business grew appreciably in 2006 as well. As of December 13, Moniker was the ninth largest registrar in the world, up from 15th with nearly 1.8 million domains under management, a 92 percent year over year increase. In addition, Moniker's TrafficClub domain monetization service experienced more than 200 percent growth in 2006, claims the company.

Moniker's next Live Auction of domain names will take place during the Internext Expo on January 17, 2007, at the Mandalay Bay Resort in Las Vegas, followed shortly after that by the T.R.A.F.F.I.C West conference on March 8, 2007 at the Venetian in Las Vegas.

"Moniker continues to see a strong, growing interest in marketable domain names in the aftermarket," said Monte Cahn, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Moniker. "After seeing the transaction volume grow consistently at our Live Domain Auctions, we expect to see the interest continue to rise as more businesses learn the value of domains as assets."
