Boutique .ws is for Auction.  Have the once in a lifetime opportunity to bid on an auction for boutique.  Bids start on January 16, so be sure to add this auction to your calendar.  Boutiques are not themselves for auction typically, they only auction what they sell and sometimes their overstock.  Although eBay is the most often used auction house, we have chosen to auction this boutique name here.

Why bid on the auction for BOUTIQUE.WS:

1. Boutique is as generic as a domain name gets.
2. Because it is a generic domain name, there is now way in hell there can be trademark infringement. This is one of the reasons that people pay big $ for generic domain names.
3. Google put big money behind a very similar domain name boutiques.com.
4. WS, the ccTLD extension on this domain was one of the first ones to go global, so .ws was accepted as international a long time ago.
5. The domain has been listed on the major search engines for at least 3.5 years (google analytics stats to prove it since July 2008).
6. The content comes with it, so you will have an opportunity to trace an SEO strategy.
7. Your SEO skills are most likely better than mine, so once you start working at it, it could fly.
8. With my crappy SEO skills, it still ranks in google first page for some of its page titles, for example, you can search in google for the following long tail terms (basically every page in the website - try the following searches):
   • "types of boutiques" google top 3 searches
   • "boutique domain name" first page of google, and
   • "start a boutique" in first page of yahoo
9. I have really never made real efforts to monetize it. So this is a clean slate that you can likely develop into a profitable website.
10. I think I bought it back in 2007 to start a bricks and mortar boutique with my wife, but never did, so this is why I bought it, and made the effot to get it listed so long ago. It is now aged to perfection!
11. It is an awesome branding opportunity for a local boutique. If you are thinking of using this domain name for a local store, it would be awesome. Imagine a Neon sign with "boutique.ws" on that store. Awesome branding opportunity.

When picking a name for your boutique, try to make it something that is unique so that others can recognize it easily.  You can pick a very descriptive, a very unique name, or a name that is very easily remembered.  If you feel ready to buy a domain name.  We recommend using GoDaddy as they have the best prices in the industry (US$7.49 with free webpage builder) and offer hosting for your website as well.
