LONDON, September 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

Boris Johnson, der Oberbürgermeister von London, stellte heute die Domain "Dot London" als phänomenale Gelegenheit für Unternehmen vor, sich mit dem mächtigen Warenzeichen der Stadt zu verbinden, zumal nun die Moeglichkeit besteht, Dot London Web Addressen zu erwerben.

Das Interesse an "Dot London", war bereits am ersten Tag, an dem der neue Domainname allgemein verfügbar war, sehr groß. Über 9000 Domains wurden registriert und damit wurden insgesamt bereits 44 000 Registrierungen verbucht. Führende Unternehmen, wie Fortnum & Mason, KPMG and Cath Kidston, meldeten sich an.

Nach einer dreimonatigen Vorzugsperiode, in der Londoner fuer Dot London Domains bevorzugt wurden, können jetzt weltweit alle Unternehmen und Privatpersonen, die sich auf digitale Art und Weise mit der Stadt verbinden wollen, eine Dot-London-Domain erwerben.

Boris Johnson, Oberbürgermeister von London sagte: "Die Markteinführung von "Dot London" ist eines der aufregendsten Ereignisse der letzten Jahre, die in der digitalen Welt geschehen ist und es ist ein mitreißendes Gefühl, in diesem bahnbrechenden Moment mitten drin zu stehen. Londons neuer Domainname gibt Unternehmen weltweit die Möglichkeit, sich mit dem mächtigen Handelszeichen unserer Stadt zu verbinden."

Gordon Innes, Geschäftsführer von London & Partners, der offiziellen Werbeagentur Londons, sagte: "London ist eine international anerkannte Stadtmarke und wir sind hocherfreut darüber, dass eine überwältigende Anzahl von globalen Unternehmen und Individuen eine Dot-London-Domain registriert haben. Dot-London ermöglicht es kleinen und großen Unternehmen, London zum Fokus ihrer Marke zu machen."

Viele Sportvereine und Verbände aus London und aus Großbritannien, einschließlich West Ham United und den Harlequins, haben eine Dot-London-Domain registrieren lassen, um von Londons Ruf als Sportstadt zu profitieren.

Harlequins Leiterin der Marketing und Kommunikationsabteilung, Imogen Gaunt sagte: "Eine Dot-London-Domain zu adoptieren war eine sehr leichte Entscheidung. Wir sind ein Londoner Rugby-Club und eng verbunden mit der Geschichte der Hauptstadt. Diese Domain verleiht unserem Standort in London mehr Gewicht und verstaerkt unsere Bindung mit Unterstützern und Partnern der Stadt."

Der neue Domainname erfreut sich auch bei kleinen und mittleren Unternehmen bereits großer Beliebtheit. Paul Michaels, Geschäftsführer von Hexagon Classics, sagte: "Seit über 50 Jahren handeln wir mit beruehmten, britischen Motorsportmarken und so gibt uns eine Dot-London-Domain die Möglichkeit, uns von anderen abzuheben und unsere Verbindung mit einer der einflussreichsten Marken dieser Welt zu stärken - mit London."

Antony Van Couvering, Geschäftsführer von Minds + Machines, Handelspartner von Dot London, sagte: "Einen Dot-London-Domainnamen zu registrieren bedeutet für Unternehmen, Museen, Geschäfte, Theater und Galerien, eine Londoner Webadresse zu erwerben. So werden sie auf diese Weise als Unternehmen identifiziert, das entweder in London ansässig ist oder auf andere Weise eng mit der Stadt verbunden ist. Das verbindet sie nicht nur enger mit London, sondern verbessert auch ihren Bekanntheitsgrad ausserhalb Londons."

Dort, wo man Dot-London-Domainnamen registrieren kann, zum Beispiel bei 123 -reg, Easyspace, Fasthosts, 1&1, Minds + Machines  und Go Daddy ist die Nachfrage weiterhin groß. Dot London ist eine von über 1000 neuen gTLDs, die von der Internet Corporation ICANN als Alternativen zu 'com oder 'co.uk zugelassen sind.
