Cloud.com To Hit The Auction Block

2009 March 24

by Michael H. Berkens

We know that cloud computing is one of the big new technology topics.

So its interesting to note that today, SYS-CON Events announced that the domain name Cloud.com will be auctioned during the upcoming Cloud Computing Expo, March 30 – April 1, 2009, which will be held at the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City.

Here is more info on the conference:

Cloud Computing Conference & Expo 2009 East.

No reserve price was announced, but certainly a six figure domain.

Have to agree with Tony of this…perhaps not as high as Toys but a potential 7 firgure name if the right players are in.

Amazon would salivate over this as well.

I went with cloudnetworks.com some time back. I hope I catch a deal even on a low hanging cloud some day. Cloud.com – very nice for a Brand. CloudComputing.com very nice for Information. Which would you rather own? I like the Brand.

I think the big boys are too smart to gun for a name like this. This name seems kind of stupid beside it’s really great branding power, which they don’t need, unlike a small tech company. Are people typing in cloud.com for cloud computing? I doubt it. Contrarily, I think they would be smart to go for a name like CloudComputing.com, but obviously one already has. Just doesn’t translate as well as something like BabyToys.com & KidsToys.com would to Toys.com.
