PPX
International Group
Chairman
Gregg McNair (who was profiled in
our October 2009 Cover
Story) spends most of his
time crisscrossing the globe overseeing
his far flung business interests, both
inside the domain industry and out.
McNair has just added yet another
iron to the fire, expanding his
domain interests (which already include DomainAdvisors.com
and DomainManager.com)
into the domain registration
business.
McNair
has
acquired a substantial equity
position in Internet.bs
Corp. (IBS) and has
also been appointed Chairman of
the fast growing Bahamas based registrar
that was founded in 2004 (.bs is
the country code for the Bahamas. IBS
owns both Internet.bs and, for global
purposes, Internetbs.net).
Internet.bs
Founder and CEO Marco Rinaudo was
delighted to have McNair come onboard,
saying "For
some time we have been looking to
broaden our horizons and we believe the
combination with Gregg will provide market
confidence and opportunities
which would have taken much longer to
realize without his resources and
support. Gregg and the quality teams he
has built are renowned for their success
throughout the wider domain industry and
we are genuinely excited at the
move."
In
conjunction with McNair's appointment,
IBS has aggressive growth plans
going forward. Rinaudo noted "With
around 700,000 domains already
under management and leading edge
technologies, IBS is already among the
fastest growing registrars in the world
and we are poised to become the
industry's preferred International
registrar with an emphasis on security
and privacy. The range of registrar
services will also expand”
McNair
added, "In these times where any
domain name is vulnerable to hackers,
courts or even Governors, it's difficult
to find an International Registrar you
can really trust and depend upon as custodian
of valuable assets. I have observed
and dealt with Marco and his excellent
team for many years and I am obviously
impressed and welcome the opportunity to
help build and shape the future of IBS.
Marco runs a great business fully
committed to excellence, innovation and
to making a difference in our
world." |
