SAN FRANCISCO, CA (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- What's in a name? Apparently, a lot. TheRecordBreakingDomain.com Website is excited to announce that they are upping the ante for their domain name from $7,500,001 to $12,000,001 - $1 more than the unofficial record of Sex.com, whose sale recently made international headlines - and millions more than the official record holder, Business.com.

This fancy price tag brings with it prestige, recognition and a plethora of free publicity. The media hype, alone, could recoup the initial investment.

"The sale of this record-breaking domain name," Andres Kello, owner of TheRecordBreakingDomain.com, said, "has the potential for being one of the most highly-publicized events ever! Everyone loves to hear about the best and the biggest!"

By attaining the record in the Guinness Book of World Records, which sells 4 million copies per year, TheRecordBreakingDomain.com name will become one of the most recognized and easily-remembered names on the Internet.

Once the buyer pays $12,000,001 for the domain, the name is sure to be posted all over - on news stations, and in newspapers and magazines, worldwide.

The buyer can forward the domain to their own site or place an ad for their latest product on it, while benefiting from the millions of curious visitors flocking to the site; the potential is unlimited.

"World records make headlines," Kello added, "especially ones broken under extraordinary circumstances. This one is a story that journalists and the public will love."

Kello is willing to share the financial profits and plans to donate $4,000,001 to charity, and award $4 million to those who help break the record.

People who spread the word about TheRecordBreakingDomain.com, will have a chance to win monthly and grand prizes, which include a $1 million prize to the person who refers the most traffic to the site. Once the buyer has been confirmed and the announcement made public, no more prizes will be awarded.

There are already hundreds of supporters from all over the world, proving that this concept works, which is already helping to create brand power behind the domain.

Sponsors of TheRecordBreakingDomain.com include Bureau Translation Services and Definitive Labs, a web design firm; they are all excited to be part of the next World Record.
