.CO – a new TLD with high market value stirs up the domain world

March 3, 2010 - PRLog -- (REGENSBURG, March 2010) – The .CO era is coming! With this slogan, the new TLD .CO is taking the worldwide domain market by storm at the moment. This long-anticipated TLD is not only perfect for online trade, but also for the diverse social media branch and is well on its way to becoming one of the most highly sought-after domain extensions on the Internet.

InterNetX is the only selected European registrar to introduce the highly-demanded TLD .CO. As a top supplier of first-class domain products – with over 300 ccTLDs and gTLDs in their portfolio – InterNetX is one of the largest registrars on the international market and possesses the technical know-how and long-track experience to boost the success of the premium TLD .CO.

What makes .CO so unique? The domain extension .CO is not only extremely easy memorable, it’s also understood and accepted internationally. A survey showed that 75 % of Internet players immediately associate .CO with commercial online projects and established business terms like “.COmpany”, “.COrporation” and “.COmmerce”.

.CO also brings considerable value in the strongly growing social media segment, as businesses and private users alike can build “.COmmunities” filled with specific “.COntent”. “.COmmunication”, “.COllaboration” or “.COnnection” are just a handful of the meaningful terms which can be merged under .CO.

Additionally, the responsible registry .CO Internet S.A.S. has introduced a very liberal allocation practice, allowing users around the world to register the coveted .CO domains.

The first step of the .CO launch is already underway. The Third-Level Transition started on February 7, 2010 allowing existing .COM.CO, .NOM.CO and .NET.CO domains to be transferred to one of the ten registrars – like InterNetX – or to register new domains under .COM.CO, .NOM.CO and .NET.CO.

Grandfathering, the next phase of the .CO launch, runs March 1, 2010 through to March 31, 2010. Owners of third-level .CO domains (e.g. domain.COM.CO) which were registered prior to July 30, 2008 can register the corresponding second-level .CO domains (e.g. domain.CO) before any other interested party.

InterNetX has already commenced the .CO launch successfully and the dash for .CO domains is set to continue. It’s definitely worth registering a .CO domain and securing a share of the profitable .CO domain market.
