EuroDNS is glad to announce the start of the .mx pre-registration phase on the 1st of May 2009, during which all .mx subdomains such as .com.mx or .edu.mx will have registration priority for their corresponding .mx domain Name.

.mx is the first top level domain for Mexico, and it has just been re-opened by NIC Mexico to allow new registrations. The .mx extension is a great opportunity to open a new market in Mexico.

Xavier Buck, CEO of EuroDNS explains, “the reopening of the .mx is great news and the registry has published 3 different stages to register your .mx directly. Another interesting change is that, as of September 1, 2009, everyone eligible to register a .MX domain name will be entitled to register .MX domains at the second level.”

The Pre-Registration period will start on May 1 until July 31, 2009. During this phase, only the people who have registered before March 1st 2009 a so called “domain of origin”: com.mx, .net.mx, .org.mx, .edu.mx, or .gob.mx, can apply for the corresponding .mx domain name. The domain names already registered before May 1 will be blocked during this phase, which means they cannot be deleted or transferred.

All registrations during this phase will be for one year and cost 44 Euros.

The Waiting Period Phase will start on August 1 to 31. During the waiting stage, no new request will be received and only the pending requests will be processed. It will be possible to check requests from the first stage at www.whois.mx.

At the end of the waiting phase, the .mx domains assigned will be activated and the domains registered before March 1, previously blocked from being transferred or deleted, will be unblocked.

From September 1 to October 31 2009, the Initial Period of Registration will take place, during which any eligible person or organization interested can request a .mx domain name. A “first come, first served” basis will apply and the registration period will be for one year.

Luxembourg, 9th April 2009 – EuroDNS announces two exciting extra rounds of auctions for the .ME domain names that have not been allocated during the first phases.

The full list is now available at http://www.eurodns.com/MeAuctions. EuroDNS will start collecting all applications from today until the 21st April and submit it to the registry on the 23rd. The auction will then be held during 7 days. 

This April auction concerns all .ME domain names applied for but not allocated in last year’s Sunrise and Landrush Auctions. Another auction phase will also take place on May 14th, but don’t miss this first round, bid now!

.ME has been the fastest growing new ccTLD launch on record with two-hundred thousand names registered worldwide. The .ME extension has a global appeal and benefits highly from the social meaning of the word. .ME has spread fast and has become really popular in the United States as well as in Europe.

Xavier Buck, CEO of EuroDNS, comments “Looking at the facts and figures of the .ME in terms of registration and usage and compared to other extensions, I have to say that the achievement has been really good. The .ME domain is not only the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Montenegro, but also the most appealing extension for the creation of personal pages and blogs. It has great social potential and will contribute to boost the already heavily used online social networks”. Some great names are still available, with high business value and marketing impact. You just need to go to http://www.eurodns.com/MeAuctions, thick the names of interest to you and add them to your cart! The minimum auction bid for April is 100 USD and 75 USD for May and the minimum registration fee is 24 Euros for 1 year.
