Domain Name News
The .ME Registry is about to open domain name registrations on a
first-come, first-served basis, and if initial indicators are accurate,
the .ME domain names will move quickly. Open Registration officially
begins July 17.
The .ME Registry concluded its Land Rush Period June 26. The 20-day
time span was the first opportunity for the public to apply for .ME
domain names. More than 80 different accredited registrars from 24
countries are offering the catchy domain extension. To date, through
Sunrise and Land Rush, the .ME Registry has received more than 30,000
.ME applications.
"In the Land Rush already, applicants from around the world will be
receiving some excellent domain names such as Click-On.ME, ChatWith.ME
and Optimize.ME - illustrating just a few of the catchy names being
awarded," said Predrag Lesic, the registry's executive director. "This
extension really does lend itself to creative and attractive names
whether for business or personal use."
"This has been one of the quickest, most efficient contract-to-market
timelines for any domain name extension," said Lesic. "Open
Registration is a prime time to secure your dotME."
Two-year minimums are required on all .ME domain names registered during the Land Rush and initial Open Registration periods.
