The Hot or Not contest entered its third week this time and again the list brought out some extremely eye-catchy names. Generic names like Computer.asia, new.asia and auto.asia would be odds on favorites to be right up there with the highest bid amount but yet again much like what happened the week before, another name stole the limelight. Southeast.asia with a ending price of US$ 20,500 was the surprise domain name with the highest end price. One contestant from USA was the special winner this time and his prediction of US$ 33,000 was quite close as well. Two more weeks of drama remain and to be part of it, please go to www.think.asia and key in your choice.

The second week of the Hot or Not contest had some very interesting names indeed. The likes of medicine.asia and best.asia were sure to be safe bets but it was careers.asia that came out on top with a highest bid of US$ 13,000. There was only one contestant who predicted that this name would get the highest bid. It was a very brave decision taking into account the number of excellent names there were in the pool for that week. The winner receives US$ 1,000. There are still 3 more chances for everyone to win the weekly prize and a huge Grand Prize at the end. Simply log on to www.think.asia to join.

Resorts.asia 以22,501美元最高價跑出！

[2008年6月25日‧香港] 第一階段勝出者係一位在港工作嘅馬來西亞人仕李文涵 (Xavier Lee)。原來Xavier都係因為睇PCM先知道呢個活動，而且佢每星期都會買PCM留意最新行情。作為首次參與域名估價活動，Xavier心得係睇多啲 www.Think.Asia網站上面嘅專家意見及留意同類域名拍賣嘅賣價，而結果Xavier估中最高拍賣價嘅Resorts.Asia嘅估價20,000美元亦同真正成交價22,501美元十分接近，果真眼光獨到。

Xavier更以商業角度分析域名價值，主要在於域名能否轉化為商業概念，好似 Book.Asia﹐Golfing.Asia﹐StockMarkets.Asia等等。如果有商業價值，自然多人出高價競投啦！

DotAsia董事鄭志豪稱：「.Asia域名嘅普及代表亞洲地區在全球嘅影響力正在提升。我們舉辦今次域名估價大賽的目的，除為了讓普羅大眾更認識.Asia域名，也希望進一步令網民意識到.Asia域名的巨大潛在價值。」

1.  search.asia

This has a lot of potential as a good generic. The term "search" could be used in a wide variety of contexts. From personal and business telephone listings to search engine crawling, people are always looking for something. This could also be a great domain name for an already established search engine to use as a name that is associated with its brand in the Asian/Pacific region.
