New Services from CT Corsearch and CT Corporation Make Domain Registration and Management Easier, Less Costly

NEW YORK, March 8 /PRNewswire/ -- CT Corsearch, the premier provider of clearance and protection solutions for trademark and brand professionals, and CT Corporation, the leading provider of registered agent services, both part of CT, a Wolters Kluwer business, today announced new domain name registration and management services that will enable their customers to register and manage Internet domain names worldwide quickly and effectively through a single platform.

There are more than a dozen generic top-level domains (gTLD) and 248 country code top-level domains (ccTLD) open to applicants, some of which accept filings on a first-come, first-served basis and others that require hard-copy proof of eligibility, or a local presence. CT Corsearch and CT Corporation work with all major registries and a network of local agents to provide truly global coverage.

The new services offered in conjunction with Com Laude, which provides domain name registration and management services, include an up-to-date library of registry requirements, fees and formalities to facilitate smooth and efficient transfer of domain name portfolios between registrars.

"Registering, monitoring and protecting a company's presence on the Internet are crucial in today's business climate," said Steve Stolfi, vice president of sales and global partnerships, CT Corsearch. "As a trusted brand management lifecycle solutions provider, CT Corsearch has proven accuracy and dependability in this market. The addition of the domain name management services reinforces our commitment to constantly evolve our offerings to meet our customer's growing business needs."

Com Laude is a U.K.-based company led by industry veterans Nick Wood and Lorna Gradden, who share more than 25 years of domain management expertise.

"Domain names have a value far in excess of any filing fee," said Diane Brown, executive vice president and general manager, CT Corporation. "The loss of a domain name can bring down a commerce-critical Web site, causing real financial harm. CT Corsearch and CT Corporation understand that our clients need a trustworthy process that is secure and reliable."

A Fortune 500 company often has thousands of domain names, with each domain running the risk of being purchased by another party due to expiration that may go unnoticed. With the addition of new Top Level Domains, the marketplace will only increase in complexity and the need for effective domain management will become more important. Rather than incur tens of thousands of dollars in court fees per domain name dispute, companies need to take preemptive action by centrally monitoring the status of all domains.
