Xavier Buck, CEO of EuroDNS, explains “The .IM extension represents more than just a country code domain available to all Isle of Man’s businesses and residents. It can indeed be used to personalize your web address, as .IM in English phonetically corresponds to “I am”. Therefore, having an address such as YourName.IM could sound really interesting.  .IM is also strongly linked to the social characteristic of Instant Messaging, which allows you to create a website using your instant messaging screen name. The need of unique, specific and personalized domain name extension such as .IM is growing. Don’t miss this opportunity and register your .IM at EuroDNS for 2 Euros. This great offer will only be available for 6 months”.

EuroDNS announces the opening of the .CM Landrush period, starting today at 0:00:01 UTC and lasting until July 31st. The Sunrise phase of .CM was a real success and a significant number of trademark names have been registered at www.eurodns.com.
During the Sunrise period, all applications will be subjected to a premium fee and an auction system, with a minimum registration time of 2 years. Indeed, in case there is more than one application per domain, the domain will go into an auction system that will be held shortly after the end of the Landrush period. The price for each domain name application will be 260 EUR, including a two years term.   The domain extension .CM is the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for the Republic of Cameroon. Xavier Buck, CEO of EuroDNS explains, “.CM is a significant extension as it covers the Central African region, which does not usually provide many domain names. It’s an opportunity to expand your portfolio in Africa”.

 

 Registering a .CM also allows to protect your name as it is considered to be a typo of the .COM. Indeed, when typing a .COM domain name, people often forget to type in the ‘o’, which can cause a loss of traffic and also lead to a misleading use of the name if you are not the owner of the corresponding .CM name.  The launch of .CM is also associated to the battle against poverty in Africa and the willingness to expand both e-commerce and Internet on the African territory. The .CM registry has thus decided that for each domain sold, a certain percentage will go the foundation “Flowers in the Desert”: 10% from landrush auction.

 

The Go Live will begin on August 1st, 2009 at 0:00:01 UTC. At this point .CM domains can be registered on a first come, first served basis. The minimum registration term is 1 year and the price will be announced soon. The price for the each Go Live registration is 80 EUR.  To have more information and register your .CM now, just go to: www.eurodns.com, and stay tuned!

EuroDNS announces the opening of a monthly promotion for the .ME domain extension. Get your .ME domain name for only 17 Euros, just click here.


The strength of the .ME is that the extension is not so much about the country it represents but more about the personal meaning attached to it. .ME registry has summarized the extension in one key sentence, “Me is about You”. There are also plenty of catchy names’ possibilities and marketing potential behind a .ME.  A few examples are : networkwith.me, interact-with.me, registerwith.me.  With more than 260,000 domains registered in less than a year, by people from 182 different countries, .ME has become a successful and popular extension.  Xavier Buck, CEO of EuroDNS, comments “we have launched the .ME in May last year and the results have been remarkable.  .ME offers so many possibilities in terms of marketing and innovativeness for companies, organizations and even for personal sites. To follow this positive and ongoing trend, we are launching every month a 2 weeks promotion. We are starting this month with a 30% off, using the promocode: MEJU30”.  .Me is recognized as “a true phenomenon among TLDs because of its unforgettable meaning and limitless word combination possibilities, .Me gives a truly personal tone to your domain name. If you are looking for a name that speaks for itself .Me is your best choice. Let .Me speak for your online business or personal blog”, states the .ME registry, Affilias.

 

The impact of .ME on businesses has been significant as they count for almost 60% of the totality of the .ME registered. The arguments for businesses to own a .ME include the possibility to protect the brand and to make it stand out more, compared to other competitors.

EuroDNS/AsiaDNS (www.asiadns.com) is glad to announce today the launch of a 3 months .ASIA campaign, during which every new .Asia domain name registered for a minimum of 2 years will come with a complimentary USB stick.

With around 300,000 .Asia names registered since more than one year, .Asia has become a significant extension worldwide for e-commerce and visibility, with a coverage of 70 countries, from the Middle East, to the Far East and Oceania regions.  Xavier Buck, CEO of EuroDNS/AsiaDNS, comments, “We believe .Asia domain extension has a unique and strong potential as it gives consumers and companies the possibility to largely reach the Asian market and develop their presence on it as well as position their brand. The ranking chance on search engines is also high. This new .Asia campaign is definitively a great opportunity to reach such a new and lively market. The registry will send a free USB key branded EuroDNS and .Asia for each new single registration of 2 years or more, to the contact address given to EuroDNS”.

 

Leona Chen, DotAsia Organisation Ltd., explains “Having a .Asia domain not only improves a company searchabiity and visibility online, but also helps a business save on cost without having to register ALL country code level domains within Asia”. More than 60% of the world population resides in the Asia region and Asian’s governments have been launching initiatives to develop their broadband capability and other leading technologies, which has contributed to position Asia as one of the largest online market. Asia has become one of the most advanced wireless markets in the world and there is a trend towards making Internet functionality available in a wide array of devices beyond the PC.

The launch of .CM has successfully started with a significant number of trademark names registered during the Sunrise period at www.eurodns.com.
The domain extension .CM is not only the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for the Republic of Cameroon, but also corresponds to the .COM typo. As Xavier Buck, CEO of EuroDNS explains, “it is important to protect your .COM domain name by registering the corresponding .CM name.

Don’t miss this opportunity. The sunrise, which allows all trademark owners to register at the earliest stage, is still running until July 15th”.  The launch of .CM is associated to the battle against poverty in Africa and the willingness to expand both e-commerce and Internet on the African territory. The .CM registry has thus decided that for each domain sold, a certain percentage will go the foundation “Flowers in the Desert”.

 

Moustapha Saya Kaigama, CEO of Netcom.cm, explains “.CM will definitively open the African market in terms of presence, e-commerce and Internet, but our goal is also to contribute to the fight against poverty by giving to the foundation “Flowers in the Desert” a certain percentage for each domain name sold: 10% from landrush auction / and for registration during sunrise and open registration Euro 2.5 per domain and year”.  During the Sunrise phase, the minimum registration period is 2 years and applicants must hold a valid and issued trademark at the time of application. If there is more than one valid Sunrise application for the same domain name, the name will be awarded to the registrant with the oldest registered trademark.

 

Each domain application costs 360 EUR with a non-refundable fee of 60EUR, including a two years term.   The registry will then open the Landrush period from July 15th, 2009, 0:00:01 UTC until July 31st, 2009, 0:00:01 UTC, during which all applications will be subjected to a premium fee and an auction system, with a minimum registration time of 2 years. Indeed, in case there is more than one application per domain, the domain will go into an auction system that will be held shortly after the end of the Landrush period.

 

The price for each domain name application will be 260 EUR, including a two years term.   The Go Live will begin on August 1st, 2009 at 0:00:01 UTC. At this point .CM domains can be registered on a first come, first served basis. The minimum registration term is 1 year and the price will be announced soon.

We are really sorry for any inconvenience but there have been some hick ups with the backbone between June the 23 and 24th.
The BGP sessions with our different IP providers went unstable and some very few AS were not reachable on the Internet. 

The problem was fixed as soon as we were able to locate the problem.
