Domain.com Expects Surge of .CO Domain Registrations During the Landrush Phase

Vancouver, Wash. (PRWEB) July 6, 2010 -- Domain.com, a leading domain registration and Web hosting company, is encouraging its customers to secure a .CO domain name during the Landrush phase that ends July 16th. This three-week long Landrush period allows individuals and businesses to apply for premium domain names before the new top-level domain becomes generally available. If more than one application for the same domain is received, an auction process will be used to award the domain.

“The .CO Landrush phase is perfect for anyone who either wants to register a new domain and isn’t able to purchase the equivalent .COM, or just wants to protect their online brand,” said David Andrews, Marketing Manager for Domain.com. “Within the next five years, we expect .CO to surpass .NET as the second most popular domain extension on the Internet.”

The General Availability phase, which is the last phase of the .CO domain launch schedule, begins July 20th. During General Availability, domains that have not been registered during the Sunrise or Landrush phases will become available for registration on a first-come, first-served basis.
