Open Registration for the new personalized domain name .ME is running
On July 17, 2008, the .ME Registry officially opened for real-time registrations with a huge success: More than 50,000 new domain names were registered in the first two days of the Open Registration. This brand new top level domain is now open to anyone on a first-come, first-served basis.
Key-Systems has participated in the Go Live Period and has achieved a success rate of over 90%, means that we got more than 90 % of the names, we sent to the registry.
Another proofing example on how capable Key-systems and its retail portal DD24 are.
The registration fee per domain is 37,80 Euro / 44,98 Euro incl. VAT for a 2-years-term.
Apart from the live registrations, also auctions for competing applications received during Sunrise and Landrush Period are now taking place. The registry expects to soon release its plan for auctioning many premium names that would serve as new business or marketing ventures, such as Love.ME, Buy.ME and Date.ME. The Premium Names auction is
scheduled to begin in September 2008.
