Why Register .CO Domain Name?

July 22nd, 2011

The .CO top level domain (TLD) is one of the fastest growing domain extensions on the internet.  Because .CO can stand for “company” or “corporation”, it has become an extremely popular extension for businesses everywhere.

If you already have a .COM domain name, registering a .CO equivalent would be a great complement to your website.  Not only will having both the .COM and .CO extensions solidify your website’s online presence, it will also help protect your brand from imposters and copycats.

Hurry and register your .CO domain name before it’s taken! Just like any other domain extension registration with Doteasy, you can enjoy our basic hosting service for FREE. Sign up HERE!

$0 Hosting is now Doteasy Basic Hosting

August 6th, 2009

As we step into our 9th year serving you, we would like to announce an exciting new change to the hosting plan that started it all – we are giving the $0 Hosting Plan a new name – Doteasy Basic Hosting.

The Doteasy Basic Hosting will continue all the great features of the $0 Hosting plan AND will continue to be FREE with any new domain registrations and domain renewals with Doteasy, as well as domains transferred to Doteasy.

This change will not affect you if:
• Your domain is registered with Doteasy (New Domain, Renewal or Transfer Registrar), or
• You have previously paid the US$35 Transfer Hosting Fee

This change will affect you if:
• You’re currently on our $0 Hosting plan and your domain is no longer registered/renewed with Doteasy, or
• You’re signing up for a new Transfer Hosting account

Previously, all non-Doteasy domain accounts are subject to a one-time US$35 Transfer Hosting Fee (or the US$35 Hosting Continuation Fee for all transferred-away hosting accounts). Now, with the Doteasy Basic Hosting plan, you can enjoy the same hosting services at a low fee of US$1.95/month (12-month billing term). No more Transfer Hosting Fee! All you pay is just the hosting plan fees!

Is there a way to waive the Basic Hosting fee?

Yes! All domains registered and/or renewed with Doteasy will receive the Basic Hosting services free of charge.

For new Transfer Hosting accounts, you can waive the US$1.95/month fee if you successfully transfer your domain to Doteasy (Transfer Registrar) within 30-days of your hosting application.
And for transferred-away hosting clients, all you need to do is renew your domain with Doteasy and your basic hosting services will be free again!

ccTLDs

April 21st, 2008

We all know that choosing the right domain name is as important as naming your company and products. Most people will agree that a .com is best. But chances are, the .com is already taken. While .net and .biz are popular alternatives, country-code Top Level Domains (ccTLD) are an excellent choice if you need to market your business to a certain geographic region, for example .ca* for Canada and .co.uk* for the UK.

You can even use a ccTLD for other purposes outside their home countries because of their names. For example, .la is the ccTLD for Laos but many businesses and organizations are now using it to create their own Los Angeles identity. More information on a .LA domain name – http://www.la/

Other similar ccTLDs:

  • .ad – country: Andorra; other uses: advertising agencies
  • .am – country: Armenia; other uses: AM radio stations
  • .dj – country: Djibouti; other uses: disc jockeys
  • .fm – country: Federated States of Micronesia; other uses: FM radio stations
  • .im – country: Isle of Man; other uses: instant messaging programs and services
  • .in – country: India; other uses: internet industry
  • .it – country: Italy; other uses: domain hacks (ie. see.it)
  • .md – country: Moldova; other uses: medical industry
  • .mu – country: Mauritius; other uses: music industry
  • .tv* – country: Tuvalu; other uses: tv/entertainment industry
  • .ws – country: Samoa; other uses: website
  • .us* – country: USA; other uses: groups, organizations, couples, etc.

* Doteasy offers domain registration services for these ccTLDs.

Registering a ccTLD doesn’t mean you need to host the domain and website with a service provider in that home country. As long as you have access to your domain records to make DNS changes, you can host your ccTLD with Doteasy!

So, don’t rule out ccTLDs if you are need alternatives for “thisistheonlynameleft.com”.
