.co.com – 10,000 Domains and Gaining Momentum at 1 Year Anniversary

Cincinnati, Ohio, USA; February 24, 2015

.co.com Registry celebrated its 1 year anniversary by announcing more than 10,000 domains have been registered – more than most ICANN new gTLDs – and demand is accelerating.

“Momentum began building in December when .co.com Registry had more domain registrations and revenue than any month since launch. Most encouraging is the quality of the websites going live on .co.com”, said Ken Hansen, CEO, co.com LLC.

Countries with existing third-level domain extensions (e.g. co.uk, com.au) have generated the strongest demand for .co.com. In fact, 40% of all .co.com registrations have come from companies and organizations located in the UK where there are 7MM+ .co.uk domains. Many companies are using their .co.com domain rather than their country code top-level domain to better reach potential outside of their borders.

Following are some of the highlights from the past year:

Why register .co.com? #1: Short Memorable Domains Ending in .com

I am often asked, “why should I get a .co.com domain name?”  It’s an obvious and fair question. Over the next few weeks, in a series of posts, I will share with you what I believe are very compelling reasons to register a .co.com. So, reason #1…

Reason #1 Availability: Short memorable domain names ending in the popular .com

It is now common practice to check the availability of the .com domain name when attempting to come up with a company or product name. Anyone who has tried to hand-register an English dictionary word .com can tell you, “they’re gone”. There are literally none. Even two word names (that make sense) are hard to find. Oh sure, you can still buy premium .com domain names on marketplaces, through brokers, at auction or directly from their current owners. Prices for those domains are typically in the hundreds, thousands, tens-of-thousand, and sometimes in the millions of dollars. If your business can afford to do that, assuming the ROI makes it justifiable, by all means you should get it. In fact, investing in the very best .com domains can often be the difference between success and failure… if the name is available, and you can afford it.

co.com domainsFor most small businesses (most businesses are small), however, buying the very best .com domain name for their business is just not possible. Large companies, or the well funded, end up with the very best .com names.

Despite the scarcity of “good” .com domains, every year 20-30 million new .com domains are registered. Most of these registrations are 3+ words, made up words, or hyphenated words. In other words, registrants are settling for ugly long, unmemorable third, fourth or fifth choice .com domain names because their first choice was gone. Some registrants will opt for a shorter name in .info, .biz, .net, .us, etc. or one of the new gTLDs.

Although there are hundreds of alternatives now, most registrars can expect most of their registrations this year to be .com domain names. Some registrants simply prefer a domain that ends in .com to the tune of 75,000-100,000 each day.

If you are one of those businesses or individuals that simply prefer a domain that ends in .com, don’t settle for a long, hyphenated, made up, or 3+ word domain name. Register a .co.com domain and get your first choice – a short, memorable, single word .co.com domain.

.co.com Enters “General Availability” Phase Today! (July 8th)

We are excited to announce that .co.com will enter the live General Availability registration phase today, Tuesday, July 8th at 16:00 GMT (12 noon EDT). This is a major milestone for .co.com and for our company.

As we look ahead with great anticipation, it is also a good time to reflect on the past few months. Our Landrush registrations were strong. It’s a very competitive market with an increasing number of choices. In this environment, despite our pricing being much higher than many of the new gTLDs, total registrations are now in the single-digit thousands, without deep discounting, giveaways or gimmicks.

.co.com is getting the greatest uptake in the 218 countries where third level names are commonplace (UK, Australia, South Africa, Brazil, Korea, Japan, etc.). Registrants have been able to get the keyword names they’ve wanted, but have long gone in .com or their respective ccTLD.

Some registrants in those countries also realize that a .co.com domain will rank better in global search than a ccTLD (all else being equal). As most of our readers know, ccTLDs rarely rank high in search engines when searches come from someplace other than a company’s home country.

Registrants are also finding that .co.com, unlike new gTLDs, often come with existing traffic they can monetize. That can either be a boost to their existing traffic, or get their new site off to a running start. Traffic is something you typically do not get when registering a new gTLD or a third choice .com or ccTLD.

codotcom-ogimage1500x1500

Having said that, the biggest factor influencing registrants is that .co.com ends in the familiar and popular .com extension. There are still 30 million+ .com ads every year and most of them are hyphenated multi-word, third or fourth choice domains. The .co.com extension provides a chance for companies to get the short memorable keywords that are long gone in .com, and .co, and ccTLDs for that matter.

We’ve been suggesting that registrars show a .co.com in search results when the .com is not available, and there is no strong signal for a new gTLD. Registrars who are doing this are seeing excellent conversion rates, even at the higher Landrush pricing. We’re looking forward to seeing the results when lower General Availability pricing takes effect today.

Most importantly, we are very encouraged to see websites going live. Here are some of the sites that have chosen to brand themselves with a short memorable .co.com domain:

Geneva-based ASKA provides moving services for valuable assets (“Vauling”)

http://GlobalEnglish.co.com

.co.com gets around… on mobility scooters

New sites appear every day. We’ve been posting and tweeting about them, and will begin featuring them on this website as well. If you see a .co.com “in the wild” please let us know!

Thank you again to those who have registered a .co.com during our Landrush Phase, and to those in the domain name industry who have been so supportive. A special thanks goes to our registrar distribution channel for all their excellent work to promote .co.com during a very busy time for them. More registrars are going live today, with others to follow. We now look forward to continuing our journey with you as we grow the .co.com community.

.co.com Releases Tens-of-Thousands Premium Domain Names

Release Aimed at Encouraging Website Development

If you are looking for short memorable domain names that end in the popular .com extension, we have big news. We are excited to announce the release of most of our premium .co.com domain names for “hand-registration”. The domain names we are releasing are far more valuable than the standard registration fee, but getting .co.com domain names registered and into the hands of those who would develop them, will raise the visibility and awareness of .co.com, and generate even stronger registration volumes.

.co.com Domain Names Despite the number of early-bird registrations we’re seeing each day, there are still thousands of ultra premium .co.com domains left on the table to pick up during our Landrush phase.  Also note that the .co.com Landrush is a little different to other new gTLDs because there are no auctions – if you see a name you want, register it, and it’s yours immediately, first-come, first-served. Many of the names being released have existing traffic, but are best monetized through development or sold to a retail buyer (who will then develop a website). Some of the domains we are releasing are amongst the top 500 public name sales of all time.

Here is a small sample of names that can be hand-registered now:

…and tens of thousand more.

(Source: Namebio.com and DNPric.es. Prices accurate at time of posting)

In the coming days, we will also be announcing a significant adjustment to our remaining premium domain name pricing as well. Many of those with traffic will likely to be cash-flow positive in year-one if simply parked. If developed, of course, the potential is even greater. How do we know? We are seeing the traffic now, and have historical data going back for years. In the coming weeks we plan to make traffic data for specific domain names available publicly, so you can see for yourself.

Get the best of these domain names now, because the name you want may be gone when General Availability starts on July 8th.

Search for your .co.com at https://registry.co.com, or at one of our participating registrars at https://registry.co.com/registrars.

Landrush Period Open! Early bird .co.com domains now available on a first-come first-served basis

We hit another exciting milestone here at .co.com LLC as we launch the official “Landrush Period”, meaning that .co.com domain names are now open to any and all registrants on a first-come, first-served basis, and go live within minutes of registration. So far more than 200 Registrars have partnered with us to offer .co.com to the public, and there are still more coming on board.

From today (April 8th) through July 8th, .co.com registrations are fully open to any Registrant on a first-come, first-served basis. General availability will begin on July 8th.

“Demand for domain names ending in .com remains very strong. Last year over 30 million .com domains were registered. “Most of those names were very long, hard to remember, and not ideal for marketing”, says Ken Hansen, CEO, co.com LLC. “When given a choice, many users will opt for the shorter name with a .co.com extension”, he continued.
