Being a .PRO when choosing a registry services partner

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.

Afilias expands market leadership with acquisition of RegistryPro

The .PRO domain is set to grow with strategic focus from Afilias

Afilias Limited, the ICANN-designated registry operator for the .INFO top level domain (TLD) and a global provider of domain registry services, today announced that it has acquired Registry Services Corporation (d.b.a. RegistryPRO), the ICANN-designated operator of the .PRO TLD, from Hostway Corporation. This brings to 17 the number of top-level domains that Afilias supports, including seven generic TLDs (gTLD) operating under ICANN contracts and seven new TLDs launched since 2001.

Following the application window opening today for businesses to manage and run their own top-level domain (TLD), global registry services provider Afilias is advising companies to make an informed decision as soon as possible about whether to apply for their own dot Brand domain from the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN).

The Next Big .thing: New Top-Level Domains and the Expanding Global Internet

On January 12, 2012, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) will open a process that could trigger a dramatic expansion of the Internet and launch a new era of online innovation. We are familiar with .com, .org, .net, among the roughly two dozen generic top-level domains currently occupying the Internet's addressing system. Hundreds, possibly thousands of new gTLDs, could be moving in within a year.

Afilias, the domain name registry operations company behind .info, .mobi and 14 other Top Level Domains (TLDs), is urging brands to ensure they fully understand what the new “dot Brand” Web extensions mean for their business. dot Brands are unique TLDs that are tied to a single business. Think “drink.pepsi” instead of “pepsi.com/drink.”

Afilias宣佈計畫申請.INFO的中文版國際化網域名稱

值此距離ICANN新通用頂級網域名稱計畫開放不到66天之際，.INFO網域名稱註冊服務商宣佈申請.INFO中文版國際化網域名稱的計畫

網際網路名稱與號碼指配機構（ICANN）指定的.INFO頂級網域名稱（TLD）註冊營運商及技術註冊服務全球提供商Afilias Limited今天宣佈，該公司將根據ICANN的新通用頂級網域名稱（gTLD）計畫，申請.INFO網域名稱的簡體中文與繁體中文版本。

Afilias執行副總裁兼技術長Ram Mohan表示：「Afilias的業務遍佈全球，我們一直對國際化網域名稱（非正式簡稱為IDN）抱有強烈興趣。我們是首家推出IDN電子郵件的公司。中國是全球人口最多的國家，中文是其主要語言，我們認為設立.INFO的中文版本將讓所有中國網民受益。」

Afilias資深副總裁兼行銷長Roland LaPlante表示：「ICANN僅在2012年1月12日至2012年4月12日期間接受gTLD申請，而且之後可能還要再過幾年才能再次接受gTLD IDN版本的申請，我們很高興能夠率先推廣IDN的使用與部署。」
