Afilias, a leading global registry services provider, is advising organizations that they have only until March 29, 2012, to complete their ICANN registration to manage and run their own “dot Brand” Top Level Domains (TLD). After March 29, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) -- the Internet governing body -- will no longer accept registrations. Final proposals from registered applicants must be submitted to ICANN no later than April 12, 2012. In short, applicants must start today if they hope to complete the multi-step application process.

New survey from Afilias shows that 44 percent of large companies intend to submit a dot Brand application, but few are aware of the limited application period

Have you seen the press release announcing that Afilias has acquired the .PRO registry from Hostway Corporation? We’re excited to bring a new top-level domain into the Afilias family and help grow the use of it. I also think it shows that the top-level domain business is a unique one – and it’s not one to be entered into lightly.

Für eine erfolgreiche TLD-Bewerbung sollten Unternehmen jetzt handeln

Für Unternehmen beginnt heute die Bewerbungsfrist für ihre eigene Top-Level-Domain (TLD). Afilias, globaler Anbieter von Registry-Services, rät Unternehmen dazu, so bald wie möglich eine Entscheidung darüber zu treffen, ob sie bei der Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) eine eigene Internetadressen-Endung für ihre Marke beantragen möchten.
