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.

Andrew Allemann, editor of Domain Name Wire, is the owner of the geodomain, KansasCity.US. Kansas City is a major metro destination with a surrounding population of approximately 2 million people.

Sprint Nextel Corporation have their world headquarters based in Kansas City. Other major companies operating out of Kansas City include Applebee’s, Hallmark Cards, H&R Block, Russell Stover Candies, Bayer, and many others.

Andrew’s Kansas City geodomain is in the official United States web address, dotUS. He recently developed a minisite for Kansas City which contains information on travel, sports, attractions, shopping, and real estate. Minisites are scaled down versions of a full featured website, and they present an affordable first step for getting an undeveloped domain name up and running.

Andrew selected a minisite developer, Minisites.com, after having perused the field of web development companies working in this area. He writes about KansasCity.US and minisite development in his blog piece entitled, “Minisites.com Delivers: KansasCity.us“.

The .com version of this domain name is owned by McClatchy Interactive who are the third largest newspaper publisher in America. McClatchy, among others, have been struggling with declining newspaper revenues as a result of internet users choosing to go online for their news & information.

No doubt, geodomain websites and domain names are the future of media. So Andrew’s acquisition of KansasCity.US represents a Class A business decision. ccTLD’s are gaining increasing global recognition. And nothing is more impressive than having a huge metropolitan city or exotic travel destination.

Readers will be interested to know that Andrew is also the owner of SanFrancisco.US. Well known domain investor Rick Schwartz purchased Nashville.US in recent years, and Miami.US was auctioned off earlier this year via online domain broker, Sedo.com. This writer is the owner of Charlotte.US, the largest city in North Carolina (currently my home state).
