The domain name Iraq.com is being auctioned off at Sedo, where the bidding has reached 450,000 Euros, or about $632,215 in U.S. dollars. The bidding started last Thursday at 2,000 Euros and has risen steadily, but has not yet reached the reserve price. The auction is scheduled to conclude Thursday at 2 p.m. EST. Sedo’s auction process typically begins once an initial offer has been made on a domain placed for sale with the service. That offer then becomes the opening bid.

WHOIS records list the owner of Iraq.com as KuwaitNet Internet Services, which registered the name in May 1997. The company offers managed hosting and dedicated servers, and is also an ICANN-accredited registrar.
