The adult domain name auction will take place at Internext-Expo on Tuesday, Jan. 15, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., in the Palms Ballroom at Las Vegas' Palms Resort and Casino.

“The adult online entertainment industry continues to expand year over year with new sites being developed every month,” said Monte Cahn, president of Moniker.com. “Moniker’s premium adult domain name auctions at Internext allow online developers, with various degrees of online experience, to purchase domains that will enhance their business.”

More than 250 domain names will be up for bidding during the three-hour live auction, with an additional 2,000 names available for purchase during a concurrent online auction. The online auction begins on Jan. 15 and will continue throughout the week following the live auction.

Among the premium domain names available at the auction will be AdultDVDs.com, AmateurTeen.com, Bachelor.com, BigCock.com, Bisexual.com, BJ.com, Cum.com, GayBar.com, Masturbate.com, Sexparty.com and Taboo.com, according to the domain list released Friday by Moniker.com.

Moniker.com will donate the sale proceeds from one of the domains from its portfolio, AdultPhotoExchange.com, to the Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP). Last August, Moniker.com donated the proceeds from the sale of AdultWebDesigner.com, which netted $2,400 at the Internext Miami auction.

Moniker was responsible for selling more than $20 million in adult-related domains in 2007 including the domains sold at both Internext auctions in Las Vegas and Miami last year.

Under the auction rules and procedures, only Internext Expo attendees will be automatically eligible to attend the private live and online auctions. Individuals not attending the show will be able to participate by purchasing an “absentee bidder registration,” which costs $199.

Telephone bidding will be available for people who wish to participate but who are not traveling to Internext. Interested individuals should contact sales@moniker.com or call(800) 688-6311.
