Sangria, Flamenco and Siesta – for many people these terms conjures up images of Spain. At Sedo these names remind us of the rapidly growing Spanish domain name market that grew by a staggering 30% in 2008 compared to the previous year.
The development of the Spanish domain name market is impressive: at the end of 2006, over 500,000 “dot ES” domain names were registered. Within the next 18 months, the figure doubled to 1,000,000!
Nic.mx, the Mexican domain registry, also has reason to celebrate this year. 2009 marks 20 years of the “.com.mx” domain extension. Additionally, this year the very promising “.mx” domain extension will be launched. This development will undoubtedly attract even more interest in Mexican domain names.
Sales such as Auto.es for 110,000 EUR and Villas.com for 305,000 EUR demonstrate Spanish language domains are among the “big players” in the global domain market. However, there are still some great deals available. Quality names such as Agua.info (water in English) recently sold for less than 1,000 EUR.
