Name.Space, Inc. Accredited as ICANN Post-Testbed Registrar
press release from 04-21-99
|
Beginning at the end of June, 1999, Name.Space will begin reselling domains
under .com, .net, and .org at a discount price that will be significantly less than the $70.00
presently charged by Network Solutions, Inc. which has enjoyed a monopoly on domain registrations under a government contract, set to expire in September, 2000.

Name.Space commends ICANN and the Department of Commerce in their efforts to bring
competition to the domain name market. Name.Space founder and CEO Paul Garrin comments,
"The ICANN Accreditation is a significant and important first step and a landmark achievement in the privatization of DNS, but the competition in the com org and net domains falls far short of the true potential for vigorous domain competition possible by opening new top level domains (TLDs).
These new TLDs are part of ICANN's charter, and Name.Space urges ICANN to address new
TLDs with all deliberate speed."
|
|
Starting in June, with competition in com the industry
is likely to see lower prices and dramatically increased
volumes in existing TLDs. Name.Space is committed to
serve that market at the increased scale projected for
competition. We believe that Name.Space, being the only
new TLD registry/registrar to be accredited by ICANN,
will lead the way in servicing new TLDs in the near
future, at a greatly reduced cost over the presently
over-crowded "com." domain. Just as Name.Space has
determined that the wholesale price for a domain is no
more than $2.00 per name, in contrast to the $9.00 per
name charged by Network Solutions, Inc., the new TLDs
be are expected to be less expensive than discounted
fees for .com, .net, and .org, and more attractive to
the end user. We look forward to the time when true
open competition and diversity comes to the domain name
service market, and we are prepared to meet the demand
head on."
