PODGORICA - The .ME Registry, which was chosen by the government of Montenegro to operate the new .ME domain name extension, officially opened live, real-time registrations in the new .ME domain on July 17, 2008.
According to a press release by .ME Registry, companies, organizations and members of the public can now get a Web presence that is truly personal, and have their new Website working within minutes.
“The .ME registry open registration ushers in a new era of personalization on the Internet,” said Predrag Lesic, the Registry's executive director. “We were excited to see the innovative and catchy new domain names that were registered during Landrush and now this brand new top-level domain is open to anyone on a first-come, first-served basis.”
The registration process for .ME began in May when the Sunrise period for trademark holders started. Landrush for the general public to register names began in June.
With open registrations, new domains registered will go live within minutes enabling anyone in the world to launch a site that is all about them immediately.
“The registry also expects to release its plan for auctioning many premium names that would serve as good new business or marketing ventures, including Love.ME, Buy.ME, and Date.Me,” said Lesic.
Details of the .ME auctions are set to be released in August 2008.
