SMS.CO.UK - a rare 3 letter Internet domain name, is currently attracting the attention of the telecoms and messaging industry as the closing date of Friday November 4 nears for the sealed bid auction that could see the highest price ever achieved for any UK domain name to date.

For the first time ever, the sale of virtual real estate is being handled by a company more associated with international property -Chartered Surveyors and International Property Consultants, GVA Grimley, along with Internet traffic specialists, Hollywood Internet Ltd.

David Carter, Director of Hollywood Internet Ltd., says, “We knew that the sale of sms.co.uk would be big and we are now receiving bids to be opened on 4 November. The amount of interest by telephone has been fantastic and we expect a late flurry of bids in the closing moments. We have no idea what the final price could be, but whatever it is, we know the name will pay for itself many times over.”

An independent escrow service is available to purchasers of the name. “We are very excited to be assisting in the sale of a high profile .co.uk domain name such as sms.co.uk.” said Monte Cahn, CEO of internet domain name sales specialist www.moniker.com. “We will help to market the domain name through our high traffic website www.moniker.com and www.domainsystems.com and if required, we will perform escrow service once the sale is complete.”

Domain names like sms.co.uk are natural Internet traffic generators that can deliver highly targeted visitors to web sites.
