The much anticipated .CO domain names were released only hours ago, sparking a new domain name "Gold Rush".
The .CO names are set to be the next .COM and .NET. In less than 24 hours it's estimated that over 216,159 names have already been registered (8,800 from the asia pacific region) -- some premium names have already started selling for over USD $80,000. Some interesting registrations include pub.co, newcars.co, chairs.co, happy.co.
The new domain names are designed to shorten existing website addresses to make them more accessible on social networking sites and SMS messages. In a world of 140 characters, a short URL is the key to success. Adapting to new technology to support your brand online can be a struggle- until now. In the .CO era, shortening and sharing your URLs with a .CO domain will drive traffic and maximize awareness.
This has sparked a "domain name rush", with businesses throughout the world grabbing domain names related to their organisation and industry. If you are interested in getting your hands on your very own .co domain name I highly recommend visiting the official website and browsing through the list of registrars: http://www.cointernet.co/registrars/co-registrars.
