BOSTON, Aug. 10, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The entire Boston community now has its own domain extension on the internet to compete with .COM.  The .BOSTON extension allows nonprofits, local businesses, and individuals to secure a .BOSTON domain name and associate themselves with the Boston area.

In addition, nonprofits serving Boston are being offered a discounted price to secure their .BOSTON domain names.  To see if your desired name is available, simply go to www.Apply.Boston.

All Bostonians and businesses can also pre-register now ahead of the Land Rush that commences on October 10th.  There are no restrictions on who can register a .BOSTON domain name.  So apply early to ensure you get your desired names.

The Boston area is a proud destination for tourism, businesses, healthcare, entertainment, and institutions of higher learning.  And now, the .BOSTON internet extension is here for organizations and individuals that want a boost in search engine rankings for any "Boston" related search.  .BOSTON will enhance brands by distinguishing companies, products, or services from the thousands of .COM domain names.

All registrations are registered on a first-come, first-served basis.  However, today, nonprofits serving Boston are provided a special Priority phase whereby they can reserve their organization's name before the general land rush that begins on October 10th at 12:00 PM EST.

Pre-registrations for the October General Availability are also being accepted from the overall Boston community.  Applying now will reserve a place near the front of the queue for automatic submission when the Registry starts accepting open registrations. 

To see if your desired .BOSTON domain is still available, simply go to www.Apply.Boston.

The .BOSTON domain is ideal for any business or person with an affinity for Boston:
