Less Than 30 days for the Go-live of .BOSTON Domain Names! Have You Chosen Yours?
BOSTON, Sept. 11, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- On October 10, Boston will get its own domain extension. Local businesses, ventures and individuals may in the near future establish their websites or create emails with a .BOSTON domain name. This new extension is just like the traditional .COM, .NET, .ORG, etc. but identifies the websites around and about the city of Boston. Websites may now be www.example.Boston, www.hotels.Boston, www.travel.Boston, etc.
Boston is not the first city to get its domain name. New York (.nyc), London (.london), Berlin (.berlin), Tokyo (.tokyo) among others have already created their local digital space. These new extensions are possible thanks to a program developed by ICANN (the governing organization of the Internet), by which new domain endings can be created after a rigorous and long process. The City of Boston has been following the process for more than two years and is now ready to launch its domain extension.
Professionals that have a Boston centric activity, local businesses, entrepreneurs, organizations that work with the city and its people are called to get their web domain names. This will enhance their digital presence and will give them a memorable, brandable and meaningful name on the Internet.
People looking for a business opportunity may also take advantage of the launch of .BOSTON. Domains have become the real estate of the Internet. Memorable, or generic Internet addresses have acquired a lot of value as the economy has moved to a digital space. This makes the launch of .BOSTON a great opportunity to acquire unclaimed valuable pieces of digital space that will gain value over time.
Hello.boston (www.hello.boston), a company specialized in the registration of domain names is offering early access to applications for domain names. Applications submitted before October 10 will be held with priority. According to Gerardo Aristizabal, Director of Hello.boston, "People that apply early will have priority over people that wait until the 10th." Aristizabal advises people that know about their interest on a particular domain to apply early and increase their chances of getting the .BOSTON domain they want. More information can be found on their website, www.hello.boston. The registration of domains starts at $17.99 with some domains priced higher and considered "premium" names.
With the gravitation of businesses and startups to the Internet, and with the vibrant and growing tech scene in Boston, the launch of the extension provides many branding opportunities for entrepreneurs and existing businesses. Owning a piece of Boston's digital space will give these individuals and organizations a great opportunity to brand their websites and establish a meaningful online presence. "We will definitely see a big number of registrations adopting .BOSTON as their place on the Internet," says Aristizabal.
