RightOfTheDot to Unveil New Auction Platform for NamesCon Global Live & Online Event November 11

RightOfTheDot.com (ROTD) Founder Monte Cahn has been at center stage in just about every major live domain auction staged since he ran the first one ever at the inaugural TRAFFIC conference back in 2004. His company has rolled out many innovations along the way and they will be doing it again at the upcoming 2026 NamesCon Global conference in Miami. The shows runs November 11 & 12 at the Ice Palace with ROTD's Live & Online Digital Asset Auction serving as the the opening day's grand finale. ROTD will mark the occasion with the launch of a  newly developed, proprietary auction platform at bid.rotd.com.

 

They've also put together an extraordinary catalog of more than 300 domains for the event that will get underway at 4pm U.S. Eastern Standard Time on Wednesday, November 11. Here is just a sampling of the marquee names that will be on the block: 
Borrow.com • Borrow.ai • Fare.com • HomeService.com • UH.org • Beg.com • Edinburgh.com • CapeTown.com • Democratic.com • BabyToys.com • BankCredit.com • Capable.ai • AgenticCode.com • Trip.net • Coupon.net. 

Pre-bidding is now open, with early bidding activity helping determine which domains will be featured in the live auction in Miami. A timed online auction will follow, offering additional opportunities to acquire premium domains.

The new platform brings buyer and seller functionality together in one integrated environment. the ROTD-owned technology supports bidder registration, online bidding, seller consignments, and live and timed auctions. ROTD developed the system to help fuel the company's long-term growth and ability to serve the global digital asset marketplace. 

Monte Cahn said, "This is an exciting milestone for RightOfTheDot. We're bringing an exceptional collection of premium domains to NamesCon while introducing technology we've developed specifically for our buyers and sellers. Both reflect our continued commitment to advancing the domain name aftermarket." 

Interested buyers can browse the catalog and register at bid.rotd.com. Participation requires platform registration followed by auction-specific registration and credit card verification. Attendance at NamesCon is not required to bid online. ROTD has also produced a  new step-by-step explainer video to help bidders navigate the registration process.
