sex-dot-comNEW YORK – One of the most valuable domain name in the world, sex.com, will be auctioned online next week. It is expected that the price reaches $14 million or Rp. 140 billion ($1 equals Rp. 10.000).

This domain name is about to go on the internet auction on March 18, 2010 by DOM Partners LLC, a company that borrows the domain name from the partner company Escom LLC, and registered in New York law firm, Windels Marx Lane & Mittendorf LLP.
