The Kansas City Business Journal released an article in their technology section Friday announcing the forthcoming auction of the domain name, KC.biz.

KC.biz will be offered through Moniker’s silent auction which will commence during the New York T.R.A.F.F.I.C. domain conference. KC.biz is obviously a short and fitting domain name address for a Kansas City based real estate firm, or any business for that matter.

A similar domain, e.biz, was sold via Sedo’s online auction for $66,001 just a few weeks ago. Also currently listed for Moniker’s auction block is the premium domain, NY.biz, which is ideal for any number of New York businesses. That domain will be in Moniker’s LIVE auction which commences Wednesday 10/28/09 at 4:00 p.m. EST in New York City.

Feels like we’re entering the NFL or NBA playoffs with so much domain name action on the horizon.

Side note: Disaster.com was just announced as available to the highest bidder in a planned one month long private auction to begin October 22 and last through November 20. The domain name is being brokered by D & D Consulting, and there is a minimum bid of $850,000. For more information, visit the Disaster.com site for details. This upcoming domain auction is also mentioned in the Albany Business Journal.

Domainers have recently noticed an increase in news regarding the .BIZ domain name mostly surrounding Sedo and Moniker auctions of one and two letter .biz names and Overstock’s successful RFP for O.biz (which is scheduled to launch soon).

Another .BIZ website I happened upon was Business Credit Services who operate at CorporateCredit.biz. Started by David Gass in year 2000, the company has grown steadily and is now providing a wide range of business credit services to many companies. The likes of Kiplinger, Entrepreneur Inc., CNBC, CNNMoney, FoxNews, and Dow Jones have drawn upon Business Credit Services’ knowledge and expertise.

The domain name, CorporateCredit.biz, was registered in 2001. It receives around 10,000 to 30,000 unique visitors per month and site traffic appears to have steadily increased over the year 2009 (source: Compete.com statistics). This makes sense given the need for American small businesses to locate new lines of credit to keep their operations moving forward.

Another .BIZ is from an Indian-based company with offices in both New Delhi, India and the United States. They are XICOM International operating on the internet address XICOM.biz. They provide high quality business process outsourcing, software application services, web development, and IT consulting services. XICOM International were founded in 2002 and currently employ over 150 people.

A Charlotte-based company in proximity to my home is Collett & Associates. They are a large commercial real estate firm with more than 10 million square feet of property under lease or management. They operate at Collett.biz again making a good fit for the business-oriented .biz web address.

Related premium domains from the PremiumDomains.US portfolio include: Corporate.biz, CreditScore.biz, and Condos.biz.
