Domain Holdings has added Riyadh.com, Brunei.com, Qatar.com and SaudiArabia.com. Additional high-value premium Geo names include Dubai.com and AbuDhabi.com, Gas.com, Oil.com, Energy.com.

The trade show seems like the ultimate venue to sell these Premium Generic Domain names and I look forward to hearing about some big future sales.

Here is the full press release below.

Domain Holdings, a world-class leader in domain lifecycle management and premium domain name brokerage, announced Tuesday that it has added four high value Geo domain names to its list of premium assets being showcased on the world stage in the United Arab Emirates. On the heels of a successful “The Big 5 International Building and Construction Show”, the names will now be brought to ADIPEC 2012 through November 14. The updated list includes: Riyadh.com, Brunei.com, Qatar.com and SaudiArabia.com. Additional high-value premium Geo names include Dubai.com and AbuDhabi.com.

The Middle East and North Africa region, which includes Saudi Arabia, U.A.E. and Qatar, is among the worlds strongest economically. The region supports more than $1 trillion in foreign investments from around the world, fueled primarily by its oil, energy and natural gas exports. Qatar, for example, has the world highest GDP, 60% of which is a result of its natural gas exports. For premium names like those listed above, as well as Oil.com, Gas.com and Energy.com, there is hardly a more suitable region or audience for this particular list of premium domain names.

“There is no question that the U.A.E. is iconic on the global scale for its unprecedented growth, innovation and expansion. Naturally, that expansion has precipitated a crossover into global business opportunities – and at the global level domain names can be the catalyst for exposure to either the country or businesses operating in it to the global business community,” Domain Holdings co-founder John Ferber said. Ferber was the co-founder of Advertising.com – which sold to AOL in 2006 for nearly USD $500 million and eventually became cornerstone for America Online’s AOL Advertising business.
