(PRWEB) April 16, 2009 -- The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers -- ICANN -- is giving the world the opportunity to operate vast new areas of the Web and compete with existing registries, like .com, .org and .us.
Now, Quintaris, a leading web business consultancy that helps acquire, manage, market and maximize registry value, is partnering with Pool.com, the market leading domain name acquisition and auction services company to take pre-orders for individual names in any of the new domains.
By placing a pre-order at www.Quintaris.Pool.com, you will get in-line early for the best names -- names that can best represent you, your business or your special interest. There is no cost until the name is registered.
"There are already more than 50 new domains that companies, communities and individual investors have pledged to pursue," said Tony Farrow, head of business development at Quintaris. A full list, dynamically updated, is available at either www.Pool.com orwww.Quintaris.com.
According to Quintaris, pre-ordering will not only give individuals a chance to stake their claim, it will also serve as a "proof of concept." Consumers will also be able to recommend and pre-order names against gTLDs for which no sponsorship has yet been made public. These "orphan" extensions - recommendations will be accepted - represent additional evidence of market demand.
"Cities like London and Berlin, activities like golf and sport and industries like music and clean tech or green all hope to offer domain names to promote culture and commerce," said Farrow. "A robust pre-order market will guarantee long-term success."
Quintaris is prepared to offer access to aggregated information with those companies, communities and individuals who intend to apply for a gTLDs. No fee structure for access to the data has yet been set.
"We are planning to make available information such as pre-order totals, geographic spread and requested domain names,'' said Farrow, ''but not more broadly at this time."
