eNom offers resellers instant access to .CO domain names at a low price of $25
SANTA MONICA, Calif. – July 20, 2010 – eNom, Inc., the world’s largest ICANN accredited domain name wholesaler, announced today at HostingCon 2010 the availability of .CO domain names to all eNom resellers. The launch of the General Availability (GA) window for .CO marks the final stage of the re-launch of the .CO top-level-domain extension. eNom is one of ten accredited registrars selected by the .CO domain registry to resell the .CO extension, and is offering .CO domains at the competitive rate of $25 per year.
eNom customers can access .CO domain names in two ways, depending on the nature of the names they are interested in purchasing. First, premium names can be bid on through the company’s exclusive partnership with auction site NameJet. Second, personalized .CO names can be registered through the standard process at eNom, where customers have access to competitive .CO domain name registry pricing of just $25 per domain, with no limit to the number of .CO domains a single customer can register.
“Not only are we pleased to be selected as one of the exclusive registrars of the .CO domain name, but we’re also excited to announce this unique opportunity for our resellers at HostingCon,” said Chris Sheridan, vice president of Sales for eNom, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Demand Media™. “The availability of the.CO TLD through eNom demonstrates our ongoing commitment to expand our domain offerings so that resellers can get the names they want at an affordable price.”
“The .CO domain has emerged from its sunrise and landrush phases as a truly global, recognizable and credible domain that caters to the needs of major companies, entrepreneurs and individuals,” said Juan Diego Calle, CEO of .CO Internet S.A.S., the registry operator for the .CO TLD. “The launch of the .CO domain certainly would not have been as great a success without our partnership with eNom and its network of trusted reseller partners.”
.CO domain names are now available for registration at eNom.com , eNomCentral.com and Bulkregister.com. For more information, please visit eNom.com.

eNom Launches VeriSign Trust™ Seal
SANTA MONICA, Calif. – July 19, 2010 – eNom, Inc., the world’s largest ICANN accredited domain name wholesale registrar and the largest reseller of VeriSign SSL Certificates, returns to HostingCon 2010 as a Gold Sponsor where today the company announced the launch of the VeriSign Trust Seal to its expansive security product offering catalog.
The VeriSign Trust Seal insignia will signal to visitors of the web site that the publisher of the site has passed a three point verification process by VeriSign, the company already trusted by nearly 90 percent of the largest internet retailers to secure their customer transactions. In addition to the verification, VeriSign Trust Seal provides a daily web site malware scan and alerts the publisher immediately if it detects malware on a given site. VeriSign trusted sites benefit from the added visibility of VeriSign® Seal-in-Search™, which displays the VeriSign seal next to search result links from popular search engines on enabled browsers. For web sites that do not require an SSL certificate, the VeriSign Trust Seal presents an alternative that assures visitors of the site’s safety.
“At eNom, we know that security and trust is as important an ingredient to a successful web site as the domain name itself. The VeriSign Trust Seal service is a proven, reliable and simple method for establishing that trust and we’re proud that VeriSign has chosen to partner with us to introduce this new product to the marketplace; especially during HostingCon,” said Chris Sheridan, vice president of Sales for eNom, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Demand Media.
“We are pleased to expand our relationship with eNom with their launch of the VeriSign Trust Seal,” said Fran Rosch, senior vice president, Authentication Products & Strategy at VeriSign. “As a platinum partner, we look forward to continuing to work with eNom as they provide their resellers with the trust and security products they desire on their web sites.”

eNom and NameJet Partner to Offer .CO General Availability Pre-Order Service
Auction style service will provide a cost-effective alternative to .CO Landrush registration for NameJet customers
SANTA MONICA, Calif. – June 25, 2010 – eNom, Inc., the world’s largest ICANN accredited domain name wholesaler and accredited .CO registrar, today announced a partnership with NameJet, to offer a general availability (GA) pre-order bidding service for new .CO domain names, designed to improve its customers’ chances of obtaining desirable .CO domain names during the GA period, for less than Landrush registration prices.
During the pre-order period, which is now open and will remain open until July 19 at 11:00 pm EDT, potential registrants may place a bid for any non-registered .CO domain name for $39.00, which includes the application fee and one-year registration fee. If more than one potential registrant bids for the same .CO domain name the bids will be entered into a transparent auction format allowing potential registrants to see other bids and to raise their own accordingly.
Once .CO GA opens, NameJet’s proprietary auction platform swings into action, utilizing a multitude of resources to attempt to register the desired domains more efficiently than an individual and thus optimizing each participant’s chances of securing the domain name they want. Auction participants who do not win their choice of domain name will not be charged their initial bid amount.
“eNom is pleased to collaborate with NameJet to give customers the best opportunity to secure the .CO domain names they want at below land rush prices. This complements our ongoing commitment to provide our customers with the most diverse selection of domain names at affordable pricing,” said Chris Sheridan, vice president of sales for Demand Media, the parent company of eNom, Inc.
“We are excited to be able to provide this .CO landrush alternative for our customers. Our main objective is to provide services that allow our customers the opportunity to acquire the domain names they want and eNom has a proven track record in this area,” said Steve Brown, General Manager of NameJet.
