This week co.com and CentralNic announced a partnership under which CentralNic will provide the technical registry services to make .co.com domains available, ahead of most new gTLDs coming to market. Current plans call for the Sunrise Period to begin in late February 2014, followed by Landrush then General Availability at which point anybody can register a .co.com domain name.

“.CO.COM is going to beat most new gTLDs to the starting line with a Landrush that is on track to open in Q4 of this year. Given CentralNic’s massive distribution network we’re only a few months away from seeing .CO.COM available at registrars around the world.”
From Michael Berkens of TheDomains.com:

“With the introduction of co.com, companies who missed out will have a second opportunity to get a generic and global domain name ending in .com at an affordable price.”
