domain registry officials were
pleased with their Sunrise registration
period that ended January 31. Sunrise gives
trademark holders an opportunity to secure domains
related to their brands before general
availability begins. The now open first
stage of general availability is an Early
Access land rush period, running until
February 19, that is spotlighting the short list
of domains the registry classified as premium
names (only about 3,000 it.com domain were priced
at premium levels). The
administrator of the it.com registry, UK
Intis Telecom, put together a priced
list (in the standard .csv spreadsheet
format) showing all of the premium level
domains so anyone can see the exact cost of
everything that is available (the prices range
from $590 to $7,590 and the renewal cost is at the
standard rate, not the premium |

cost).
During this stage registrants can also get any of
the non-premium domains at standard registration
rates (those price are set by the individual
registrars).
Munir
Badr, Senior Advisor to it.com, said, "We
now want to encourage early adopters to choose from
a wide variety of available domain names, both
premium and general availability, while the going is
easy." Registrants can search for
available it.com domain names at wee-known
registrars including 101domain,
MarkMonitor, Marcaria, Nomeasy,
CSC Global, Encirca,
Key Systems, AEServer, Domgate,
and many others. A complete list of accredited
it.com registrars is available on the it.com
website.

it.com
invites registrars and potential partners
to visit them at any of these events to
learn how they can profit by offering it.com
domain names and featuring them on their
websites through landing pages or in domain
search results.
Joe
Alagna, Advisor to it.com (seen at left),
said, "New gTLDs were a boon and a
windfall to domain name registrars, but they
are no longer new. And a second round of
TLDs are simply vaporware right now. The
it.com domain name is new and it's a real
opportunity for immediate sales, revenue,
and customer satisfaction. Registrars can
get accredited quickly and connect to
their systems via EPP or WHMCS at https://get.it.com/for-registrars."
