HostingCon 2010: Free ICANN Accreditation

Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

Accreditation.com (the ICANN Accreditation consulting division of LogicBoxes) announced its presence at HostingCon (Austin, Texas), starting 19th July, 2010 at booth #216.

According to Bhavin Turakhia, CEO of LogicBoxes, medium to large sized webhosts are beginning to realize the importance of an ICANN Accreditation. Apart from the security of being their own Registrar, they stand to make significant cost savings, and increase revenue streams. “We’ve seen a steady growth in the number of large web hosting companies stepping up to become Registrars, and for obvious reasons. The most common being independence from their existing Registrar, better pricing and the compelling branding advantages. Building a user base is pretty important for companies today and so few companies hesitate before going that extra mile to ensure they have customer trust and loyalty.”

.CO Domains Avaliable To All Resellers

Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

eNom Offers Resellers Instant Access to .CO Domain Names at a Low Price of $25.

You can only get .CO domain names by doing the following, depending on the nature of the names they are interested in purchasing. First, premium names can be bid on through the company’s exclusive partnership with auction site NameJet. Second, personalized .CO names can be registered through the standard process at eNom, where customers have access to competitive .CO domain name registry pricing of just $25 per domain, with no limit to the number of .CO domains a single customer can register.

“Not only are we pleased to be selected as one of the exclusive registrars of the .CO domain name, but we’re also excited to announce this unique opportunity for our resellers at HostingCon,” said Chris Sheridan, vice president of Sales for eNom, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Demand Media™. “The availability of the .CO TLD through eNom demonstrates our ongoing commitment to expand our domain offerings so that resellers can get the names they want at an affordable price.”

“The .CO domain has emerged from its sunrise and landrush phases as a truly global, recognizable and credible domain that caters to the needs of major companies, entrepreneurs and individuals,” said Juan Diego Calle, CEO of .CO Internet S.A.S., the registry operator for the .CO TLD. “The launch of the .CO domain certainly would not have been as great a success without our partnership with eNom and its network of trusted reseller partners.”
