EuroDNS is delighted to FINALLY announce the successful opening of the .CM Golive period. Come and get your .CM domain at www.eurodns.com!
After many issues, both technical and political, the .CM Registry finally announced the opening on the landrush with a new and improved system. "After many 'false starts' EuroDNS decided to wait until the landrush finally happened before announcing it and give false hope" commented Stefan Haynes, Customer Care Manager for EuroDNS. The first .CM names were registered this morning.
The domain extension .CM is the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for the Republic of Cameroon. Xavier Buck, CEO of EuroDNS explains, “.CM is a significant extension as it covers the Central African region, which does not usually provide many domain names. It’s an opportunity to expand your portfolio in Africa”.
Registering a .CM also allows to protect your name as it is considered to be a typo of the .COM. Indeed, when typing a .COM domain name, people often forget to type in the ‘o’, which can cause a loss of traffic and also lead to a misleading use of the name if you are not the owner of the corresponding .CM name.
The launch of .CM is also associated to the battle against poverty in Africa and the willingness to expand both e-commerce and Internet on the African territory. The .CM registry has thus decided that for each domain sold, a certain percentage will go the foundation “Flowers in the Desert”: 10% from landrush auction.
The Golive period begun on September 18th, 2009 at 8:00:01 UTC. At this point .CM domains can be registered on a first come, first served basis. The minimum registration term is 1 for 80 EUR .
